Replacing bad hard drive in R310

I have a PowerEdge R310 with a PERC H700. 3 drive RAID 5 with Physical Disk 0:1 Failed. I thought it had hot-swap but it doesn't. My question is about the procedure for replacing the drive. Since it's not hot-swap, I figure I just shut down the server, replace the bad drive with a good one, reboot. Then go into openmanage and make sure it's rebuilding. Is that all or do I have to do or do I need to initiate the rebuild? I can't find any docs on the subject.

Thanks,

    Hello

    Yes, that procedure sounds correct. If a rebuild does not initiate automatically then just set the replacement drive as a hot spare to be pulled into the virtual disk.

    Replaced the drive but didn't automatically initiate. I found where to set it as a hot spare. Now we're 86% into the rebuild. I don't think I would've thought to make it a hot spare. Thanks for your help.
