Adding or Replacing Disks
Adding and replacing failed disks are similar processes.
In the case of a failed disk, the unit will give you email alerts and status messages about the need to
replace the disk.
Adding a New Disk
To add a new disk:
1. Pull the disk tray release pull switch. The tray handle pops out.
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 3200 to assure that you
use a suitable disk.
Warning: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive trays must remain
in the drive bays to maintain proper airflow.
