ReadyNAS 4200 Hardware Manual 

Failed Disk Notification

When a disk fails in your ReadyNAS, you are notified of the failure by e-mail. The FrontView 

Health

 screen provides information about the failed disk. The disk tray of the ReadyNAS 

4200 includes a failed disk LED that turns amber when its disk fails. 

Choosing a Replacement Disk

On the FrontView main menu, select Status > Health. Take note of the disk vendor and model 
used in your ReadyNAS. It is best to replace a failed disk with the same disk model. Contact 
the disk vendor, and arrange to have the disk replaced if the disk is still under warranty. A disk 
RMA from the vendor requires that you provide the serial number of the disk. To locate the 
serial number, open the disk tray and take out the failed disk.
