AS6210T How to add Hot Spare into the Raid 5

Have the 10-Bay AS6210T with 10 x WD60EFRX 6TB HDD (5.46TB) and only 9 drives were added to the RAID 5 array leaving one drive Hot Spare.

This device is already capable of hot swapping one drive in the event of a failure and I am looking for maximum capacity and will have a spare drive for just this eventuality. Looking for help to add this 10th drive into the array. No data has been loaded and I have only just initialised the NAS yesterday.

Your advice would be gratefully received.

Did you check ADM web page -> Storage Manager -> Volumes -> Spare Drive?
