ReadyNAS Ultra Hardware Manual
Failed Disk Notification
When a disk fails in your ReadyNAS, you are notified of the failure by e-mail. The FrontView
Health
screen provides information about the failed disk.
Note:
Email alerts must be set up for notifications to be sent. See the
ReadyNAS for Home Software Manual
for information on setting up
alerts.
As a visual reference, each ReadyNAS disk tray includes an LED that turns amber when the
disk in the tray fails.
Choosing a Replacement Disk
On the FrontView main menu, select
Status > Health
. Take note of the disk vendor and
model used in your unit. It is best to replace a failed disk with the same disk model.
.
WARNING!
Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive trays
must remain in the drive bays to maintain adequate airflow.
