RAIDar to reconnect to FrontView.

Replacing a Failed Disk

When a disk fails in your ReadyNAS device, you are notified of the failure by e-mail. The failed
disk location can be seen in the FrontView status bar at the bottom by selecting Status > Health.

On the front of the ReadyNAS device, a failed disk is identified by an amber LED. The left most
LED is disk channel 1; the next one is disk channel 2; and so on. Take note of the failed channel.
