Failed Disk Notification
When a disk fails in your ReadyNAS, you are notified of the failure by e-mail. The FrontView
main menu Status > Health screen provides information about the failed disk.
The disk tray of the ReadyNAS 3200 includes a failed disk LED that turns amber when its disk
fails.
Choosing a Replacement Disk
On the FrontView main menu, select Status > Health. Take note of the disk vendor and model used
in your ReadyNAS. It is best to replace a failed disk with the same disk model. Contact the disk
vendor, and arrange to have the disk replaced if the disk is still under warranty. A disk RMA from
the vendor requires that you provide the serial number of the disk. To locate the serial number,
open the disk tray and take out the failed disk. If the disk is no longer under warranty, you can
obtain a disk of the same capacity or larger from your ReadyNAS retailer.
Replacing a Failed Disk
ReadyNAS supports hotswap bays, so there is no need to power it down when a disk fails.
To replace the failed disk, follow these steps:
1. View the disk tray failed disk LED to identify which disk has failed.
