the drive bay is not hot swap, so I have to shut down the system to get to the drives. So if I shut the server down then swap the drive do I need to do anything to get the sync started? Should I do anything to the controller before I shutdown the system?

Most controllers allow you to make the new disk a hot-spare, and then it should automatically resync.

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
