Replacing Damaged Hard Drives
If you are using RAID 1 you can easily replace a damaged hard drive in the
Thecus IP storage while keeping your data secure with the system’s automatic
data recovery.
Hard Drive Damage
When a hard drive is damaged and data in the RAID volume is corrupted, the
system will beep to notify the status.
Replacing a Hard Drive
To replace a hard disk drive in the Thecus IP storage:
1. Remove the tray with the damaged hard disk.
2. Unscrew the damaged hard disk and remove it from the tray.
3. Slide a new hard disk into the tray and fasten the screws.
4. Insert the hard disk tray back into the Thecus IP storage until it snaps into
place. You can also lock it with a key if desired.
5. The LED will blink green when the HDD is accessed.
RAID Auto-Rebuild
When using RAID 1 on the Thecus IP storage, you can use the auto-rebuild
function when an error is detected.
1. When a hard disk fails the system beeps and/or an email notification is
sent to the specified receivers.
2. Follow the steps mentioned above to replace the failed hard disk.
3. The system automatically recognizes the new hard disk and starts the
auto-rebuild sequence to resume its status before the hard disk crash.
