Replacing a Non-Malfunctioning Drive
This unit does not support hot-swapping. If you must change a drive that is not malfunctioning,
shut down the
LinkStation before replacing the drive.
If you need to replace more than one drive all at once, replace the drives
one at a time to preserve your data. When replacing the non-malfunctioning drive, the RAID array will function as
below:
Operating in RAID 1
The RAID array will enter degraded mode after replacing the drive. You will be unable to use the LinkStation until
you recover the RAID array with a new drive.
Operating in RAID 0
All data on the RAID array will be deleted after replacing the drive. You will be unable to use the LinkStation until
you delete and create a new RAID array with a new drive.
Operating in JBOD
All data on that drive will be deleted after replacing the drive. You will be unable to use the LinkStation until you
format the new drive.
Manually Recovering the Firmware
If an error occurs with the firmware, the LinkStation will generally try to repair it automatically. However, if the
firmware cannot be automatically repaired by the system or the LinkStation enters emergency mode, you can try to
manually repair the firmware by following the procedure below.
Before proceeding with manual firmware recovery, be aware that the manual firmware recovery process will erase
data on the LinkStation.
Contact technical support immediately if firmware recovery is not successful.
