Dell PowerVault NAS Appliances Boot Hard-Disk Replacement

1

This document describes how to remove a faulty hard-disk drive containing the oper-

ating system from your Dell PowerVault network attached storage (NAS) appliance.

See your system

Installation and Troubleshooting

document for detailed information

on troubleshooting your system.

NOTE: If the Microsoft

®

Windows

®

Powered operating system becomes inoperable,

you can use the Dell PowerVault 735N Systems Reinstallation CD to reinstall the oper-

ating system. If you can successfully restore the operating system on the boot hard-

disk drive and the drive passes all the Dell Diagnostics, it is not necessary to replace

the boot hard-disk drive at this time.

Install this customer kit only when your boot hard-disk drive (SCSI ID 0, located in the

top left slot in your system) fails to successfully install the operating system.

This customer kit consists of a hard-disk drive and this document. You will also need a

#2 Phillips screwdriver (to remove the faulty hard-disk drive from its drive carrier and

to install the new replacement hard-disk drive). You should be familiar with the con-

tents of your

System Administrator’s Guide

and your

Service Manual

.

Each hard-disk drive installed in the system is mounted in a hard-disk drive carrier.

The front bezel must be removed from the system front panel, and the square metal

locking pin must be lifted out before you remove a drive carrier.
