Replacing a Failed Drive

It is simple to replace a failed drive in your WD Sentinel server. First, make sure to go to the
WD Store to purchase a compatible replacement drive. For a complete list of approved drive
models, search for Answer ID 9443 in the WD Knowledge Base at

The drives in the WD Sentinel server are “hot swappable.” This means that the
WD Sentinel server can remain powered on while you replace the drive. Once you replace
the drive, the WD Sentinel server automatically reconfigures the RAID. (See “Find compatible
hard drives” on page 23.)

Use the following steps to replace a failed drive in your WD Sentinel server.

1. Verify that the LED for the bad drive is solid red.
