Supported Disks
ReadyDATA storage systems do not recognize non-NETGEAR disks. They can recognize
only disks that you obtain through NETGEAR or a NETGEAR authorized reseller. If you use
non-NETGEAR disks, Dashboard might display an error.
WARNING:
NETGEAR recommends that you do not reformat NETGEAR disks
for use with operating systems other than ReadyDATA OS.
Reformatting a NETGEAR disk could remove the NETGEAR
signature from the disk and make the disk unusable with your
ReadyDATA system.
Previously Formatted Disks
This section describes how your ReadyDATA system handles previously formatted disks.
Disks Containing Foreign Data
Only supported NETGEAR disks with a NETGEAR signature are usable with your
ReadyDATA system. As long as the disks have a NETGEAR signature, your ReadyDATA
system can use disks that were previously formatted for an operating system other than
ReadyDATA OS (for example, Windows or RAIDiator). These disks are made available as
unallocated disks. If you attempt to use these disks for another volume, you are not warned
of possible data loss. For more information about adding a disk, see
Add a Disk on page 17.
Disks Containing a ReadyDATA OS Volume
You can migrate a volume from one ReadyDATA 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. The new system recognizes the
migrated volume and its data. For more information about adding a disk, see
page 17.
Note: If you add only part of a volume to the new system, the system
recognizes the disk as a non-operational or degraded volume. If you
attempt to use these disks for another volume, you are warned of
possible data loss.

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.
When a disk fails, a disk failure message appears on the status display screen. For more
information, see Status Information on page 11. You can also use Dashboard to set up email
alerts that notify you when a disk fails. In addition, Dashboard provides information about the
failed disk.
For information about RAID configurations, setting up email alerts, and using Dashboard, see
the ReadyDA
ReadyDATA supports hot-swap drive bays, so you do not need to power down your storage
system when replacing a disk.
If you are replacing a disk with a previously formatted disk, see the notices in Previously
Formatted Disks on page 16.
TA OS Software Manual, which is available at www.netgear.com/readydata.
WARNING:
Replace one disk at a time. Wait for the volume to resynchronize
your data before replacing another disk. If you attempt to replace
more than one disk at a time, the system will crash.

Safety Warnings
• The equipment contains no operator access areas and is certified for installation only by
trained personnel, according to the installation instructions provided with each storage
system.
• Install the socket outlet near the equipment in an easily accessible location.
• Observe the on-board battery precautions.
DANGER:
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of
used batteries according to their instructions.
• Connect the storage systems and their associated LAN connections only to equipment
within the same building.
Electrical Safety Precautions
Follow basic electrical safety precautions to protect yourself from harm and the ReadyDATA
from damage:
• Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as the room’s
emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch, or electrical outlet. If an electrical
accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system.
• Do not work alone when working with high-voltage components.
• Always disconnect power from the system when removing or installing main system
components, such as the main board or memory modules. When disconnecting power,
first power down the system with the operating system and then unplug the power cords
of all the power supply storage systems in the system.
• When working around exposed electrical circuits, ensure that another person who is
familiar with the power-off controls is nearby to switch off the power if necessary.
• Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to avoid
making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when
using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards
they come into contact with.
• Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from
electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as
electrical insulators.
• Use only power supply cords that include a grounding plug and plug them into grounded
electrical outlets.
