Replacing hardware
This section describes high-level tasks to replace components correctly within the Dell XC430 solution.
Before you begin, for information about downloading the following required documents for the three
hardware replacement tasks, see the Documentation matrixsection in this document. The documents
are:
• Hardware Replacement Documentation
• Dell XC430 Owner’s Manual
After you have these documents, you are ready to proceed with any of these hardware replacement
tasks. To complete these tasks, you must see both the documents.
Replacing components with no cluster data
The hardware you can replace that involve no cluster data includes:
• System memory
• Cooling fans
• Network Daughter Cards or Network Interface Cards
• PSUs
NOTE: Use the hot-swap tasks in task 2 in this section (if only one PSU stops functioning).
1. In the Nutanix Hardware Replacement Guide, see the Failure of Components that do not Contain
Cluster Data section and turn off the node for the relevant hypervisor.
2. In the Dell XC430 Owner’s Manual, see the Installing and removing system components section and
replace the failed component.
3. See the Nutanix Hardware Replacement Documentation, see the Failure of Components that do not
Contain Cluster Data section, and then restart the node of the relevant hypervisor.
Replacing failed front HDD and SSD components that
contain cluster data
To replace the failed front HDDs and SSDs that contain cluster data, do the following:
1. In the Nutanix Hardware Replacement Documentation, see the Data Drive Failure section and
identify the failed HDD or SDD.
2. In the Dell XC430 Web-Scale Converged Appliance Owner’s Manual, see the Installing and removing
system components, HDDs, Removing a hot-swap hard drive, and Installing a hot-swap HDD
sections.
