You can use any brand of hard disk to replace a failed hard disk, as long as it has
the same capacity or greater. For example, if replacing a 120 GB hard drive, you
could use either a 120 GB or 250 GB hard drive.
Hot swapping in the FortiAnalyzer-400 and FortiAnalyzer-800/800B
The following diagram indicates the drive number and their location in the
FortiAnalyzer unit when you are looking at the front of the unit. Refer to this
diagram before removing the disk drive to ensure you remove the correct one.

Table 4: FortiAnalyzer-800/800B disk drive configuration.
To swap a FortiAnalyzer-400 or FortiAnalyzer-800/800B hard disk
1 Go to System > Config > RAID.
If you are using the RAID Monitor widget, select RAID Settings in the title bar
area. The RAID Monitor widget displays a warning symbol next to the failed disk.
2 Select Remove for the failed hard disk.
A message displays indicating it is safe to remove the disk from the drive.
3 Remove the hard disk from the drive bay on the FortiAnalyzer unit
• On the FortiAnalyzer-400, open the faceplate, remove the screws for the drive
and pull out the drive.
• On the FortiAnalyzer-800/800B, pull open the face place, unlock the drive and
pull out the drive.
4 Insert the new hard disk into the empty drive bay on the FortiAnalyzer unit,
reversing the steps above.
5 Refresh the RAID page.
The FortiAnalyzer disk controller will scan the available hard disks and update its
information with the new hard disk.
6 Select Add to add the hard disk to the RAID array.
The FortiAnalyzer unit rebuilds the RAID array with the new hard disk.
!
Caution: Do not replace a failed RAID hard disk with a smaller capacity hard disk. Using a
smaller capacity hard disk will reduce the RAID’s total capacity, resulting in data loss when
the RAID is reconfigured for its smallest drive.
