Reformat Previously Formatted Disks If you want to use disks that were previously formatted for an operating system other than ReadyNAS OS 6 (for example, Windows or RAIDiator), you must reformat the disks.
ReadyNAS OS 6 Desktop Storage Systems Migrate a Volume You can migrate a volume from one ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system to another, as long as you migrate every disk in the volume. For example, if you want to migrate a volume that contains two disks, you must add both disks to the new system. If you add only part of a volume to the new system, the system recognizes the disk as a degraded volume.

ReadyNAS OS 6 Desktop Storage Systems Make sure that the ends of the mounting bracket are even with each other. c. Slide the bracket down the disk tray, keeping both sides of the bracket even with each other. The mounting bracket stops when it hits the bracket lock. The bracket lock prevents the mounting bracket from sliding all the way off the disk tray. 6. Attach the new HDD to the mounting bracket.
ReadyNAS OS 6 Desktop Storage Systems Make sure that the HDD mounting holes are aligned with the bracket's mounting posts and that the HDD connectors face the interior of the disk tray.
ReadyNAS OS 6 Desktop Storage Systems 7. Push the mounting bracket and HDD back into the disk tray. WARNING: To prevent damage to your system, make sure that the disk tray is correctly oriented before inserting it into the drive bay. 8. Insert the disk tray back into the drive bay of the storage system. • • For 2-bay and 4-bay systems, insert the disk tray so that the disk tray release latch is near the bottom of the system.
ReadyNAS OS 6 Desktop Storage Systems • • If you are adding the disk to a system that uses X-RAID, 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. If you are adding the disk to a system that uses Flex-RAID, the disk becomes available for use. You use the local admin page to manually configure the new disk.

ReadyNAS OS 6 Desktop Storage Systems Replace a Disk If your volumes use a protected RAID configuration, your system can recover from the failure of a disk. When you replace the failed disk, the system rebuilds the volume using the new disk and no data from the volume is lost. The Disk LEDs can help you identify a failed disk. For more information, see the Status Information section of the chapter that describes your system.
