Technically, if you power off the NAS and simply move the drive from Bay 4 to Bay 3, the RAID should be smart enough to recognize the drive order automatically when you power it back on.
If, for some reason, it doesn’t work as expected:
Power off the NAS again, remove the drive in Bay 4 entirely.
Power the NAS back on and let the system rebuild the RAID with the remaining 3 drives (it should detect and adjust).
Once the rebuild is complete, you can reinsert the drive in Bay 4 and set it up as a hot spare via Storage Manager.
