2 Replacing Storage System Components This chapter describes how to remove and install components of the SC9000 storage system. This information assumes that you have received the replacement component and are ready to install it. Safety Precautions Always follow these safety precautions to avoid injury and damage to Storage Center equipment. If equipment described in this guide is used in a manner not specified by Dell EMC, the protection provided by the equipment could be impaired.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions Always follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions to avoid injury and damage to Storage Center equipment. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other. The resulting electrical discharge can damage electronic components and printed circuit boards.
Figure 4. Replacing the Front Bezel 5 Hook the right end of the replacement bezel onto the front panel of the storage system. 6 Insert the left end of the bezel into the securing slot until the release latch locks into place. 7 Secure the bezel with the keylock. Pre-Replacement Procedures Perform the procedures described in this chapter before replacing the rack rails. Send Diagnostic Data Using SupportAssist After replacing components, use SupportAssist to send diagnostic data to technical support.
Replacing Rack Rails Rack rails are used to install the storage controller into a rack. Prerequisites 1 Use SupportAssist to send diagnostic data to technical support. 2 Shut down the storage controller using the Dell Storage Manager Client. About this task Use this procedure to replace rack rails. NOTE: Replacing rack rails must be performed during a scheduled maintenance window when the Storage Center system is unavailable to the network. Steps 1 Make sure all the cables are labeled.
Power Up Storage Center Hardware If you need to power up all Storage Center hardware, turn on the expansion enclosures first, then turn on the storage controllers. 1 Connect the expansion enclosures and storage controllers to a power source. 2 Turn on each expansion enclosure attached to the Storage Center. a Simultaneously press both power switches on the rear of the expansion enclosure to turn on the expansion enclosure.

Environmental Storage 12,000 m (39,370 ft) Operating temperature de-rating Up to 35 °C (95 °F) Maximum temperature is reduced by 1°C/300 m (1°F/547 ft) above 950 m (3,117 ft). 35 °C to 40 °C (95 °F to 104 °F) Maximum temperature is reduced by 1°C/175 m (1°F/319 ft) above 950 m (3,117 ft). 40 °C to 45 °C (104 °F to 113 °F) Maximum temperature is reduced by 1°C/125 m (1°F/228 ft) above 950 m (3,117 ft).
Expanded operating temperature ≤ 1% of annual operating hours –5°C to 45°C at 5% to 90% RH with 29°C dew point. NOTE: Outside the standard operating temperature (10°C to 35°C), the system can operate down to –5°C or up to 45°C for a maximum of 1% of its annual operating hours. For temperatures between 40°C and 45°C, de-rate maximum allowable temperature by 1°C per 125 m above 950 m (1°F per 228 ft). Expanded operating temperature restrictions • • • • • Do not perform a cold startup below 5°C.
