The drive ejects from the drive bay. Carefully remove it.
Note:
The drive light turns a solid red, meaning you need to add a drive or replace the
current drive with a larger drive. It may stay red for up to 15 minutes after you
replace the drive.
4. With one hand, hold the drive so that the label on the top of the drive faces up (and
its connectors are positioned at the device and toward the left). Refer to the image
below.
5. With your other hand, use your thumb to depress and hold open the drive lock to an
empty drive bay.
6. Slide the drive into the data bay, release the drive lock and push the drive into place
until you feel it connect.
The drive lock will snap behind the drive, securing it into place.
7. Add or replace additional drives in the same manner, following steps 3 through 6.
8. When finished, replace the bezel right side up, so that you will be able to see the
indicator lights whenever your Drobo device is turned on.
