Replacing the hard disk
In case a model with the hard drive is found to have a bad hard disk, it can be replaced in the field with a replacement
hard disk ordered from stock.
Note
Hard disks are
not interchangeable
between different NXS units, due to licensing mechanisms used in
Niagara/Niagara
AX
, as well as in the Windows XP Embedded OS.
Caution
The NXS contains electronic components that are vulnerable to static discharge. Therefore, take
precautionary measures before working with it. See
“Static Discharge Precautions,”
