Prepare the Unit
Power Off and Disconnect
If the system is still running, power it down cleanly:
1. Use the Web Management Interface to shut down the
head unit (Maintenance > Reboot and Shutdown >
Shutdown).
This also powers off all the expansion units.
2. When all the LEDs are off, at the expansion unit being
updated, disconnect the power cords.
3. Disconnect the remaining cables from that unit.
Remove the Front Bezel
1. Carefully take hold of the front bezel and pull it straight
out from the appliance until the magnets release.
2. Set the bezel aside on a secure surface.

IMPORTANT: Overland recommends that you remove the disk
drives to reduce the unit’s weight prior to removal.

voids the drive warranty.
