Open the NAS-7400’s front door.

ii.

Pull out the drive carrier with the failed drive.

iii.

Remove the failed disk drive from the drive carrier.

Install a new disk drive into the carrier.

Place the carrier with the new disk drive back into the open slot in

If the failed drive belonged to a RAID Volume, the RAID Volume will begin
rebuilding as soon as the new drive is installed.
During the Rebuild, the Disk Status LED shows amber. When the Rebuild is
finished, the Disk Status LED turns green.
