To expand the capacity of a disk volume:

Do not turn off power to the NAS during this process.

Choose Disk Management > RAID Management from the Navigation menu. The 
RAID Management window opens.

Click on the volume that you want to expand.

Click Expand Capacity. The Expand capacity window opens.

On the drive that you want to expand capacity, after the text in the Description field 
says “You can replace this drive,” then replace the specified drive with one that 
has more capacity. Click Change.

When the description “Please remove this drive”displays, remove the hard drive 
from the NAS. Wait for the NAS to beep twice after removing the hard drive.

After the text in the Description field says “Please insert the new drive,” then insert 
the drive into the drive slot.

After inserting the hard drive, wait for the NAS to beep. The system will then start 
rebuilding the RAID array.

After the rebuilding is completed, click Expand Capacity in the RAID 
Management window to execute Online RAID Capacity Expansion.

Click Expand Capacity in the RAID Management - Expand capacity window to 
proceed. 

Click OK to continue. The NAS will beep and start to expand the capacity.

This process may take as little as a few hours or more than 24 hours to complete 
depending on the number and size of the drives being replaced. Please wait 
patiently for the process to finish. Do not turn off power to the NAS during this 
process. After Online RAID Capacity Expansion completes, the new capacity will 
be displayed and the disk status will change to Ready. You can start to use the 
larger capacity.
