Choosing a Replacement Disk
On the main menu, select Status > Health. Take note of the disk vendor and model used in your
ReadyNAS. It is best to replace a failed disk with the same disk model. Contact the disk vendor,
and arrange to have the disk replaced if the disk is still under warranty. A disk RMA from the
vendor requires that you provide the serial number of the disk. To locate the serial number, open
the case and take out the failed disk (see the following sections for replacement instructions for
your disk model).
If the disk is no longer under warranty, you can obtain a disk of the same capacity or larger from
your ReadyNAS retailer.
Replacing a Failed Disk
When a Disk Status LED blinks slowly, it is an indication of a failed disk. ReadyNAS supports
hotswap bays, so there is no need to power down the device.
To replace the disk:
1. View the disk status lights to identify which disk has failed.
2. If necessary, unlock the tray lock by moving it to the right, then press the release of the failed
disk. The latch pops out.
