ReadyNAS 4200 Hardware Manual

Adding or Replacing Disks

Adding and replacing failed disks are similar processes.

Note: Be sure to check the Hardware Compatibility list on the NETGEAR

Support site for a list of disks that have been qualified for the

ReadyNAS 4200 to assure that you use a suitable disk.

In the case of a failed disk, the unit gives email alerts and status messages about the need to

replace the disk.

WARNING!

Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive trays

must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airflow.

Adding a New Disk

To add a new disk:

1. Pull the disk tray release pull switch. The tray handle pops out.

2. Pull out the disk tray, and replace the failed disk.

Make sure that the hard disk connectors face the interior of the disk bay when you

reassemble the disk.

3. Slide the disk tray back into the ReadyNAS and secure the handle.

The volume automatically synchronizes with the new disk in the background, taking

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.
