Chapter 4: Disks and Disk Replacements
ReadyNAS Ultra Hardware Manual
Adding or Replacing Disks
Adding and replacing failed disks are similar processes.
Note:
Check the Hardware Compatibility List on the NETGEAR Support
site for a list of disks qualified for use with the ReadyNAS to assure
that you use a suitable disk.
Adding a New Disk
To add a new disk:
1.
Slide the recessed locking mechanism to unlock the disk tray.
2.
Press down on the disk tray release latch. The tray handle pops out.
3.
Pull out the disk tray, and assemble the new disk on the tray.
Make sure that the hard disk connectors face the interior of the disk bay when you
reassemble the disk.
4.
Slide the disk tray back into the ReadyNAS and press the handle to secure the disk.
The volume automatically synchronizes with the new disk in the background. This could
take several hours depending on the disk size. The ReadyNAS can continue to be used,
although access will be slower until the volume synchronization finishes. You are notified
by e-mail when the process is complete.
