The docs that I've found on the helium replenishment is that you'll go 
through a bottle of helium in about 6 months (when it drops from 3300psi 
to 300psi).  It's hooked up to the drive (there are fittings and such) 
all of the time.

Fortunately, the drive I have (6200X) uses nitrogen and the person I got 
it from said that they never replaced the nitrogen the entire time the 
drive was in service.
