Adding or replacing a RAID drive Caution Never remove an active drive from an array until it is placed in a failed state or prepared for removal. For more information, see your RAID controller documentation or the Array Manager User Guide. If your computer supports hot swapping (adding or replacing a drive without turning off the computer), you can replace a failed RAID drive with a working drive that is the same size or larger than the other array drives. When you add or replace a drive in an array, the array begins rebuilding the drive. To replace a failed RAID drive: • Insert the new drive in the same drive slot as the failed drive. Your new drive acts as a "hot spare" for the array. 39
