250 8 Configuring the storage system To add HDDs in to a degraded RAID configuration: Caution: HDDs are formatted before they are added to the storage system. Make sure that you back up any important files that are on the HDD before you add it to storage system. Formatting a drive deletes all files on the HDD. 1 Install the new HDD to the storage system. Perform step 1 of the previous section. 2 Add the HDD to a degraded RAID configuration. (1) Access the IPStor Express Manager or refresh the browser window. The Disk Change Notification page displays. Note: Initially the Disk Status for the new HDD might display Spare rather than Rebuilding. If this occurs, refresh the page to update the status. (2) In the Disk Change Notification page, click Continue to continue rebuilding the disk and return to the IPStor Express Manager. The Disks page shows the progress of the rebuilding progress. Alternatively, if the information on this page is not correct, click Scan to scan the storage system again and update the page. You can also click Shut Down to shut down the storage system. When you restart the storage system, the Disks page displays.
