Hard Drive Swap

I have a T410 and one of the hard drives has failed.  I have a new one on the way.  It does not have the hot swapable component.  I just want to make sure the correct procedure.  I plan on shutting down the server.  Opening it up and swapping the drives.  Turning it back on.  Will this start the rebuilding process?  Am I risking anything by doing this procedure?  Any issues I should expect?

Hello

You may need to set the replacement as a hot spare or start a sync depending on the controller. A rebuild will generally not start automatically on a cabled drive configuration. The manual for your controller should have instructions for replacing a drive:
