R420 server failed hard drive replacement

I have a Power Edge R420 with a Perc H310 mini and 3 disk raid 5 configuration. One of my disks is flashing amber with a "failure predicted" message in open manage administrator. I know the steps to replace the failed drive, my question is what do I do if my replacement drive has previous data or raid info? Can I clear or erase that drive thru Openmanage Server Administrator or do I have to go thru the raid controller?
