Failed RAID5

1 of the drives on my 3x1TB RAID5 array went down a while ago. I just got the replacement and it seems to be fine, however I can't get the RAID controller to do anything useful with it.

The volume is marked as 'failed' instead of 'degraded'. The manual for Intel Matrix Storage Manager says it should only be marked as 'failed' when more than one member drive has failed, however the software clearly indicates that there is only one missing drive.

Intel Matrix Storage Controller doesn't seem to be giving me any option to include the drive (which is shown under 'Non-RAID Disks') in the array, nor it is automatically rebuilding the array or anything like that.

Is there any way to force it to return to 'degraded' and attempt a rebuild?

Thanks in advance.
 
It says failed probably cause the array is 'broken' without the bad drive. I'm not entirely sure how to make it rebuild on the replacement drive, but I do believe that is the problem.
