NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 Rack-Mount Storage Systems For more information, see Add a Disk on page 29. 3. Reset the system to its factory default settings. WARNING: This process erases all data and reformats all disks into a single X-RAID2 volume. If you want to preserve the data on the disks, you must back up the data to an external drive before using the disks in your ReadyNAS storage system.
NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 Rack-Mount Storage Systems Add a Disk You can add a 3.5-inch hard disk drive, 2.5-inch hard disk drive, or a 2.5-inch solid-state drive to an empty disk bay. If you want to add a previously formatted disk to your storage system, see the instructions in Previously Formatted Disks on page 27. To add a 3.5-inch hard disk drive (HDD): 1. Determine whether you need to shut down your system: • If you are adding disks to a diskless system, gracefully shut down the system.
NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 Rack-Mount Storage Systems 4. Remove the plastic air blocker from the disk tray. 5. Place the new 3.5-inch HDD in the disk tray. 6.

Slide the disk tray back into the drive bay of the system. 8. Press the disk tray handle until it latches closed.
NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 Rack-Mount Storage Systems The disk tray is secured in the drive bay. 9. If necessary, turn on your system by pressing the Power button. If the disk that you added was not previously formatted, the system uses the disk in one of the following ways: • If you are adding the disk to a system that uses X-RAID2, the system automatically determines whether the disk is used for protection or storage. The new disk is incorporated in the background while you continue to use your system.
NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 Rack-Mount Storage Systems To add a 2.5-inch hard disk drive (HDD) or 2.5-inch solid-state drive (SSD): 1. Determine whether you need to shut down your system: • If you are adding disks to a diskless system, gracefully shut down the system. For information about how to gracefully shut down your system, see the Preferred Shutdown section of the chapter that describes your system. • If your system is operating with one or more disks, you can add disks while the system is running.
NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 Rack-Mount Storage Systems 6. Secure the drive in the tray using the screws that came with your storage system. Make sure that the hard disk connectors face the interior of the disk tray when you assemble the disk. 7. Slide the disk tray back into the drive bay of the system. 8. Press the disk tray handle until it latches closed. The disk tray is secured in the drive bay. 9. If necessary, turn on your system by pressing the Power button.
NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 Rack-Mount Storage Systems • In a system that uses Flex-RAID, the disk becomes available for use. You use the local admin page to manually configure the new disk. For more information about X-RAID2, Flex-RAID, and using the local admin page, see the ReadyNAS OS 6 Software Manual, which is available at http://support.netgear.com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6. Replace a Disk If your volumes use a protected RAID configuration, your system can recover from the failure of a disk.
NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 Rack-Mount Storage Systems To replace a 3.5-inch hard disk drive (HDD): 1. Press the disk tray release latch. The disk tray handle pops out. 2. Pull out the disk tray. 3. Remove the screws and the old 3.5-inch HDD from the tray. 4. Place the new 3.5-inch HDD in the disk tray. 5. Secure the HDD in the tray using the screws. Make sure that the hard disk connectors face the interior of the disk tray when you assemble the disk.
NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 Rack-Mount Storage Systems 6. Slide the disk tray back into the drive bay of the system. 7. Press the disk tray handle until it latches closed. The disk tray is secured in the drive bay. If the volume that contained the failed disk uses a protected RAID configuration, the system automatically resynchronizes the volume using the new disk. Resynchronization might take several hours, depending on the disk size.
NETGEAR ReadyNAS OS 6 Rack-Mount Storage Systems 2. Pull out the disk tray. 3. Remove the screws and the old 2.5-inch HDD or SSD from the tray. 4. Place the new 2.5-inch HDD or SSD in the disk tray. 5. Secure the drive in the tray using the screws. Make sure that the hard disk connectors face the interior of the disk tray when you assemble the disk. 6. Slide the disk tray back into the drive bay of the system. 7.
