As this is a warranty replacement, you could call Dell and have a Techie talk you thougth it.

 

or use the following procedures,

 

First install SATA drive,
Then after boot up, open "Control Panel" 
Click "Intel Application Accelerator" or "Intel Storage Utility".

Click the "Actions" tab. 
Choose option to migrate to RAID 1, select SATA port ? as the source drive.  

Give the RAID a volume and type. 
Set the drive to add to the array will be the SATA port ? you installed the new drive on.
Migration should take about 30 to 60 minutes.
