Go ahead and power it back up. A drive probably failed and put it in panic mode. Give it extra time to come up, it should indicate on the front panel.

Now here the catcher. If you have upgraded the OS (v3 to 4) since the raid 5 was built you will have problems in replacing the HD. Snap changed the way they calculated the starting point. So you have to use the original OS version that was used to built the array. You should be able to access the data in degraded mode.

While you have it open make sure the mod had been done. Info on top of forum Sticky Attn 4100 users.
