Adding a Drive
If you have a hot-swap carrier, you can add a drive to your system and make it available through 3DM without powering down the system.
Without hot swap carriers, you should not add a drive via 3DM. Instead, power down the system and add the applicable drives.

| Warning: Physically adding a drive without a hotswap carrier and without powering down your system can result in a system hang or may even damage the system and the drive.

| Note: When you add a drive to your system and connect it to the controller, it is automatically detected and listed in 3DM. If it does not immediately display, you can use the rescan feature, as described below.

To add a drive

1 | In 3DM, choose Management > Maintenance.

2 | On the Maintenance page, click Rescan Controller.

The drive will appear in the list of available drives. You can now use it in a new RAID configuration, or as a replacement drive in the event that another drive degrades.
If you want to use this drive as a spare, see Creating a Hot Spare.
