Replacement of hardware components
You can replace hardware components on your VxRail such as hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), power supply
units.
See the table in the Supported hardware components section to know the components that you can replace. In addition to
these components, there are some hardware components that require you to contact the Dell Technologies support to arrange
for repair or replacement.
Before you proceed with the replacement, go to SolVe and generate the replacement procedure of the component that you
want to replace. For more information about how to use SolVe, see Using SolVe Online for VxRail procedures.
