RAID 5 Hot Swappable Question

PE4600 / PERC 3di / RAID 5 Ok I have a RAID 5 that contains 3 36GB and one 146GB disk (I placed the 146GB because that is all I had at the time so put it in knowing it would still only use the 36GBb of 146GB). I have an extra 36GB disk now. Can I just pull out the 146GB disk and swap it with the new one or does hot swappable mean that I can only replace it if the disk has failed? Please advise. Thank You.
