Previously Formatted Disks
You must take care when using previously formatted disks in your ReadyNA\
S unit, as 
described in the following table.
Unit StatusPrecaution
ReadyNAS unit has no disks 
(diskless) Turn the unit off and insert the disk as described in 
Diskless Units on 
page   7. Then, perform a factory default reboot as described in the boot 
menu section for your ReadyNAS unit:
• Ultra 2, Ultra 2 Plus, and Pro 2  Boot Menu on page  14
• Ultra 4, Ultra 4 Plus, Pro 4, NVX Pioneer, and NVX (Business Editi\
on)  Boot Menu  on page  21
• Ultra 6, Ultra 6 Plus, Pro 6, Pro Pioneer, and Pro (Business Editi\
on)  Boot 
Menu  on page  28
Note:   This process erases all data and reformats the previously formatted 
disk to X-RAID2. If you want to preserve the data on the disk, you must \
move the data to an external drive before using the previously formatted\
 disk 
in your ReadyNAS unit.
If you try to use a previously formatted disk in your unit without follo\
wing this 
process, the unit will indicate that the disk is corrupt. 
ReadyNAS unit is operating with 
one or more disks With the unit running, insert the disk in an empty disk bay as described\
 in 
Adding a Disk on page
 32. The unit automatically formats the disk in the 
same format as your existing disks. 
Note:   This process erases all data on the previously formatted disk. If you 
want to preserve the data on the disk, you must move the data to an exte\
rnal 
drive before using the previously formatted disk in your ReadyNAS unit.
Previously formatted disks must appear on the NETGEAR Hardware Compatibi\
lity List, 
which is available at http://www.readynas.com/hard_disk_hcl.

Adding a Disk
You can add a hard disk to an empty disk bay. You do not need to shut down your unit before 
adding a disk.
If you are adding previously formatted disks to your unit, see the precautions in Previously 
Formatted Disks on page 31.
To add a disk:
1. Press the disk tray release latch. 
The tray handle pops out. 
2. Pull out the disk tray and place the new disk on the tray. 
Make sure that the hard disk connectors face the interior of the disk bay. 
3. Slide the disk tray back into the unit and press the handle to secure the disk.
The volume automatically synchronizes with the new disk in the background. This could 
take several hours depending on the disk size. You can continue to use your ReadyNAS, 
although access is slower until the volume synchronization finishes. You are notified by 
email when the process is complete.
If you are adding disks to a diskless unit, see the software manual for your unit for 
information about using RAIDar to discover your unit on your local area network for the 
first time.

Failed Disk Notification
If a disk fails in your ReadyNAS, you are notified by email. Email alert\
s must be set up for 
notifications to be sent. In addition, FrontView provides information ab\
out the failed disk. 
NETGEAR recommends replacing a failed disk with the same disk model. Use\
 FrontView to 
determine the disk vendor and model used in your unit. 
For information about setting up email alerts and using FrontView for th\
e ReadyNAS Ultra 
series, see the appropriate software manual for your unit. Manuals are a\
vailable at 
http://www.readynas.com/documentation.
WARNING!
No matter how many hard drives are installed in your unit, ensure 
that all drive trays remain in the drive bays to maintain adequate 
airflow.
Replacing a Disk
In the case of a failed disk, the unit provides email alerts and status \
messages about the 
need to replace a disk. ReadyNAS supports hot-swap bays, so you do not n\
eed to power 
down your unit when replacing a disk.
If you are replacing a disk with a previously formatted disk, see the pr\
ecautions in 
Previously 
Formatted Disks on page  31.
To replace a disk:
1. Press the disk tray pull release latch. 
The disk tray handle pops out.
2.  Pull out the disk tray and replace the disk.
