Chassis Replacement Instructions

This document describes how to remove and replace the chassis 
of a DX-series SnapExpansion unit from Overland Storage.

WARNING:  To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to 
equipment, always remove any power cords while working 

with the unit.

AVERTISSEMENT:  Pour réduire le risque de choc électrique 
ou endommagement de l'équipement, retirez toujours les 

cordons électriques en travaillant avec l'appareil.

CAUTION:  

While working with the unit, observe standard 

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions to prevent damage 

to micro-circuitry or static-sensitive devices.

NOTE: These instructions are for the chassis that has captive 
screws at the bottom of the flange. For units with the screws at 
the top of the flange, refer to document 10400404-001.

Prepare the Unit

Power Off and Disconnect

1.

At the head unit, use the Web Management Interface, 
select 

System Maintenance > Reboot and Shutdown > 

Shutdown

 to stop services and power it OFF.

This also powers OFF all the expansion units.

2.

When all the LEDs of all the units are off, disconnect the 

power cords

 from the expansion unit.

3.

Disconnect the 

SAS cables

 from the unit noting if they 

were plugged into the IN or OUT socket.

Remove the Front Bezel

Carefully take hold of the front bezel and pull it straight out 
from the unit until the magnets release. Set it aside.

Remove the Drives

IMPORTANT:  Overland recommends that you remove the 
drive assemblies to lessen the unit’s weight prior to removal.

NOTE: Do not remove the disk drives from their carriers. Doing so 
voids the drive warranty.

1.

Press the release 

button

 on the right side of the carrier.

2.

Using the built-in 

handle

, pull the drive carrier out.

3.

Set the 

drive assembly

 on an ESD-safe surface.

4.

Repeat 

Steps 1–3

 for 

all

 remaining drive and blank 

carriers.
