This document describes how to remove a faulty hard-disk drive containing the oper-
ating system from your Dell PowerVault network attached storage (NAS) appliance.
See your system Installation and Troubleshooting document for detailed information
on troubleshooting your system.

to install the new replacement hard-disk drive). You should be familiar with the con-
tents of your System Administrator’s Guide and your Service Manual.
