Using a Hot Spare
If your TeraStation's drives are in a redundant RAID mode and you have a hot spare enabled, a malfunctioning drive
in the array is replaced by the spare drive and the RAID array is rebuilt automatically. The error LED will continue to
glow red for the failed drive even after the RAID array is rebuilt with the hot spare. After you replace the failed drive
with a new drive, follow the procedure below to configure a spare drive as a new drive.
1
The failed drive's error LED will be glowing red. Push its unlock button and swing the lock mechanism out.

Pull out the drive cartridge and remove it from the TeraStation.

Insert the new drive into the empty slot. Slide the drive in with the locking mechanism open.

array, select the new drive, and click Set as a normal drive .
