Chapter 8 Replacing Drives
Drive replacement procedures will vary depending on your TeraStation models. Refer to the replacement procedure
in the following sections corresponding to your model.

Error LED
Glows red if a drive has failed.
2
Drive Error LED
The failed drive's error LED will be blinking but still mounted. It will turn to be a glowing red when dismounted.
Notes:
• For the replacement drive, use a Buffalo OP-HDH2U series drive. The new drive should be the same size or larger.
If a larger drive is used, the extra space will not be usable in a RAID array.
• To avoid damaging the TeraStation with static electricity, ground yourself by touching something made of metal
before handling any sensitive electronic parts.
• After a drive is replaced, it will take about 30 minutes before normal file reading and writing are restored. Settings
may not be accessible during this period.
• Do not change the order of the drives in the TeraStation. For example, pulling out drive 1 and replacing it with
drive 2 may cause data to be corrupted or lost.
• If the LEDs do not change after a new drive is installed, click Rediscover Drive in Settings.
