Spare Chassis Upgrade Instructions
This document describes how to swap out an older version of
the SnapServer DX2 or SnapExpansion chassis (with the
captive screws on the bottom of the side flanges) with a newer
chassis (with the captive screws at the top of the side flanges).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to
equipment, always remove any power cords while working
with the unit.
AVERTISSEMENT: Pour réduire le risque de choc électrique
ou endommagement de l'équipement, retirez toujours les
cordons électriques en travaillant avec l'appareil.
CAUTION: While working with the unit, observe standard
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions to prevent damage
to micro-circuitry or static-sensitive devices.
Prepare the Unit
Power Off and Disconnect
If the unit is still running, power it down cleanly:
1. Use the Web Management Interface to shutdown the
server (
Maintenance > Reboot and Shutdown > Shutdown
).
2. When all the LEDs are off, disconnect the power cords.
3. Disconnect the remaining cables from the unit.
Remove the Front Bezel
Carefully take hold of the bezel and pull it straight out from
the appliance until the magnets release.
Set it aside for return with the old chassis.
Remove All Carriers
IMPORTANT: Overland recommends that you remove the disk
drives to lessen the unit’s weight prior to removal.
NOTE: Do not remove the disk drives from their carriers. Doing so
voids the drive warranty.
Remove all the carriers from the old chassis, both those with
disk drives and blank (empty) ones, for transfer to the new
chassis:
1. Press the release button on the right side of the carrier.
2. Using the built-in handle, pull the carrier out.
3. Set the carrier on a secure surface.
4. Repeat Steps 1–3 for all the remaining carriers.
