The hardware and software manuals answer questions b-e.
-Bays are numbered top to bottom. That should be in the hardware manual, but somehow never makes it.
-Disk leds turn red when the disk fails, was removed, or is synchronizing. Its off if no disk is present.

Chapter 2in the software manual covers volume configuration in detail, I do recommend that you read it before you set up the NAS.
