Adding a Drive
If you have a hot swap bay or an enclosure with removable trays, you can add
a drive to your system and make it available through 3DM2 without powering
down the system.
Without hot swap bays, you should not add a drive via 3DM2. Instead, power
down the system and add the applicable drives.
Warning: Physically adding a drive without using a hot swap bay and without
powering down your system can result in a system hang or may even damage the
system and the drive.
Note: When you add a drive to your system and connect it to the controller, it is
automatically detected and listed in 3DM2. If it does not immediately display, or if it
is part of a unit, you can use the rescan feature, as described below.
