3. Remove the faulty hard drive:
a) Loosen the hard drive screw by turning it counterclockwise,
using an appropriate screwdriver if necessary.

captive and cannot be removed.
b) Grasp the ejector handle and pull straight toward you to eject the
hard drive from the system.
4. Slide the new hard drive into the empty hard drive bay.
5. Tighten the screw into place by turning it clockwise, using an
appropriate screwdriver if necessary.
The hard drive is connected to the system when you tighten the
screw completely.
6. Type the following command to see the status of the hard drives:
tmsh show sys raid array
A disk summary similar to the following displays:
The status of the replacement hard drive is undefined, and the serial
number should match that of the replacement drive.
7. Add the replacement drive (HD2 in the above example) to the array
by typing the following command:
tmsh modify sys raid array MD1 add HD2
The status of the replacement hard drive should change to
replicating, and the LED should quit blinking and change to solid
green.
8. Attach the front bezel to the unit by grasping the bezel on either side
