Replacing ESXi 5.5 Host OS USB Installation Drive Procedure

Hello VMWare experts,

I have an failed USB drive in my ESXi host (5.5 free version) which the OS is installed on. Host is still running. I have a backup OS usb drive ready to go, the running configuration copied out, but can not seem to locate instructions to add the new OS USB drive.

Is it just as simple as plugging in the new drive now and removing the old one during non production hours (current usb drive inside the hosts case)?
