SAS-6/ir Raid 1 - failed drive, how to replace?

Hello,

I have a Dell PowerEdge T105 with a SAS-6/ir controller.  Had two 500GB drives in a RAID 1 array but one drive failed (physical failure).

I'd like to replace, I have another drive of the same capacity and type, but what's the best/safest way to replace?

I was assuming I'd boot into the RAID controller BIOS, look for the disk, add it to the mirror as a second disk, and let it sync, but wasn't sure how the controller would handle this new drive.

Thanks!
