Adding a Drive through 3DM
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. Simply power down to add the applicable drives. Refer to the 3ware 9000 Series Serial ATA RAID Controller Installation Guide for more details.
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 driveTo add a drive through 3DM when you have hot-swap carriers

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.
