Dell PowerEdge T410 HDD Replacement Replacement

Cosa ti serve

    • So, to begin, take your Server and take a look. What do you see? Depending on the Model, it'll all be similar, yet have differences between the two. Both models have a removeable Faceplate and Side Panel. The Faceplate will be removeable on the front at the top parallel to the front IO and system Info Monitor.

    • Just like a regular desktop, the Chassis Side Panel is able to be removed to access the main Cavity and the rest of the internal Components. Simple as that.

    • Just remember the Front Plate and Side Panel are Lockable with a Proprietary Key that are initially located in the Front Plate in their own Key Mounts from their Initial Production and Delivery Date.

    • For the Hotswappable Model, remove the Faceplate. But for the Internal Sled Model, there is no way to access from removing the Faceplate because it is only accessible through the Internal Component Bay.

    • The first model, the Hotswap HDD Sleds, simply opens with a latch at the top of the Front Panel. Once that is unlatched, pull it out and down and you have immediate access to the drives.

    • With the Internal HDD Sled Model, you can just disengage the latch for that panel and pull the side off of it. Make sure to pull forward on the side panel because going the wrong direction, you simply are unable to open it.

    • As a note, do not attempt to open the front and/or side plate if you encounter resistance. It could be a case (No pun intended) of a Locked Front Plate and requires the simple use of the provided key. Insert the key like any other, add a bit of pressure, and turn it Clockwise to the Unlocked Position.

    • Once you pull the sleds out, the system will lose connection to the Drives. So backup your data to a different drive inside the system if upgrading, or simply pull it out and use a replacement from the store or Cold Storage.

    • Since SATA is the new Standard, use one of those since they're faster and more reliable than Molex Connection.

    • SATA, or for the Older Folk out there, Serial-ATA connectors, use a series of Pins made with, more likely, Copper (or less likely, Silver or Gold), and each pin is for different things such as Power and Data Lines.

    • To remove the HDD Sleds, there is a handle that pulls out by a Tensioned Switch, and once out you can Undo the Screws holding the Drive in place, and even replace it with an SSD (if you have a 2.5" Drive sled, that is) and get even more speed from the newly installed drive.

    • For the Internal HDD Sleds, you can simply pull out when the computer is inactive because the system is not intended to be ran when removing internal drives just like a regular desktop.

    • When removing the HDDs and replacing them, simply grab your Philips Driver and unfasten the screws retaining the HDD in place. This will allow you to properly replace your Server's HDD that's being replaced with a new, functional one, or an upgrade to the previous, functional one.

Conclusione

To close up your Server, either fit your front panel on the guides at the bottom of the Chassis' Front, and/or do the same with the Side Panel.
