Dell PERC H700: how to replace a failed drive?

Hello! I have a Dell PowerEdge R815 with Ubuntu Server. It contains RAID1 for the system and RAID1 for data. Today I received a message that one of the system disks "fell" from the raid:

I have an HP drive of a similar size (used somewhere before, possibly contains leftover data).
Questions such:
1) How to understand what physical disk should be changed? (I see that the very first in a row, but how to count - is it possible to somehow make it blink a light?)
2) How to directly replace it? Highly desirable without restarting the server

1) The error indicator will be lit on the basket of the failed disk, do not mix it up
2) Within a couple of minutes, the rebuild should start by itself.

  1. Can be made to blink, yes
    All information is in the megacli manuals.
