Replacing The Appliance; Returning Failed Hardware - Dell EqualLogic FS7600 Series Hardware Owner's Manual

Dell EqualLogic FS7600 Hardware Owner's Manual

Replacing the Appliance

If the entire NAS appliance fails, you must replace it. You will not have a functioning NAS cluster until the
appliance is replaced and configured, unless you have other NAS hardware providing the services.
Removing the appliance will cause the entire NAS cluster to be lost, requiring you to rebuild the
NAS cluster from scratch. Before replacing the entire NAS appliance, contact Dell technical support to
assess the situation. In most cases, replacing the power supply units or control modules will resolve
issues.
