Keep a replacement on hand:
If a hard drive has failed, make
sure you have a replacement hard drive readily available before
removing the failed drive from the subsystem. Do not leave the
tray slot open for an extended period of time or the normalized
airflow will be disrupted and subsystem components will overheat
and may become permanently damaged.

Replacing a Hard Drive
To replace a hard drive, please follow these steps:
WARNING!
Hard drives are fragile; therefore, always handle them with
extreme care.
Do not drop a hard drive.
Always be slow, gentle, and careful when handling a hard
drive.
Handle a hard drive only by the edges of its metal cover,
and avoid touching its circuits part and interface connectors.
Step 1.
Identify the location of the drive tray
that contains a
hard drive indicated as faulty. You may use firmware
utility or RAIDWatch software to locate a faulty drive.

Step 2.
Make sure the rotary bezel lock is turned to the
unlocked position,
(See

on its face is in a horizontal orientation. Use a flathead
screwdriver to turn the rotary lock to the unlocked
orientation.
