Raid Failed Disk Replacement In R820

I have an R820 with a mirroed system disk and a RAID5 raid with a hot spare. One of the RAID disks failed and the hot spare rebuilt automatically. I now have the replacement disk for the failed unit. If I hot swap it in, how do I make it the new hot spare? Or will the system automatically rebuild the new disk and return the hot spare to "hot spare" status?

Insert the drive, and it should begin to the process of rebuilding again. Once its finished, it should take its place in the array and your hotspare will return to hotspare status.
