Prepare a new drive with equal or greater capacity than the failed one. 4. Remove the failed drive from the JBOD enclosure and wait for 30 seconds (or until two beeps). 5. Remove the failed drive from its tray and insert the new drive. 6. Install the new drive, and wait for 30 seconds (or until two beeps). 7.
