Chassis Replacement Instructions
This document describes how to swap out the chassis of a
SnapServer XSD 40 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.
Prepare the Unit
Power Off and Disconnect Cables
1. Briefly press the Power button on the front.
2. When all the front LEDs are off, disconnect the power
cord.
3. Disconnect all the cables from the unit.
Remove the Drives
NOTE: Do not remove the disk drives from their carriers. Doing so
voids the drive warranty.
1. Slide the release button to the right. The latch on the
front of the carrier will release and the handle will extend.
2. Using the handle, pull the carrier out.
3. Set the carrier on a secure surface.
4. Repeat Steps 1–3 for each remaining carrier.

Transfer Components
Remove the Side Panels
All installed components, such as DIMMs and PCIe cards, need
to be transferred to the new chassis. DIMMs are accessed
through the right-side panel (when facing the unit front); the
PCIe card is accessed via the left-side panel.
NOTE: The right- and left-side panels are interchangeable.
1. On the back of the unit, remove and retain the right-side
thumb screw securing the side panel.
2. Slide the side panel towards the back of the unit until the
anchors release and the panel is free.
3. Set the panel on a secure surface.
4. If an optional PCIe card is installed, repeat Steps 1–3
for the left-side panel.
Move DIMMs
DIMMs are accessed via the right side of the unit. All installed
DIMMs should be transferred to the new chassis:
NOTE: Carefully move all cabling aside while installing and
removing components.
1. Remove the DIMMs from the old chassis by pressing the
latches on each end and popping the DIMMs out.
2. In the new chassis, slide the DIMM into the lowest
DIMM slot, lining up the DIMM notch with the guide in
the slot.
3. Firmly press the DIMM down until it latches in place.
4. Do one of the following:
•If there are two DIMMs installed, repeat Steps 2–3, to
seat the second DIMM in the remaining slot.
•If there is only one DIMM installed, go to “Reinstall
the Side Panels.”

Move the Optional PCIe Card
NOTE: If there is no PCIe card installed in the old chassis, skip to
“Reinstall the Side Panels.”
. The PCIe card is accessed via the left side of the unit.
NOTE: Carefully move all cabling aside while installing and
removing components.
1. In the new chassis, remove the slot cover:
a. Remove the screw securing the slot cover to the locking
bracket.
b. Remove the locking bracket by loosening the screw
securing the bracket.
c. Retain both screws, the locking bracket, and cover.
2. In the old chassis, remove the PCIe card:
a. Remove and retain the screw securing the PCIe card to
the locking bracket
b. Remove the locking bracket by loosening the screw
securing the bracket.
c. Remove the PCIe card by pulling it straight up from
the board and out of the unit.
3. In the new chassis, install the PCIe card:
a. Seat the PCIe card in the same slot on the new board
and the back panel of the chassis.
b. Reinstall the locking bracket and tighten the screw
to secure the PCIe card.
c. Thread the screw through the PCIe card bracket to
secure the card to the locking bracket.
Reassemble the Unit
Reinstall the Side Panels
NOTE: The panels are interchangeable; if you are having issues,
reverse the orientation of the panel. When correctly installed, the
side panels will slightly overlap the back of the unit.
1. On the new chassis, position the side panel with no more
than one-half inch (1.25 cm) extending out over the rear
of the unit.
2. Align the tabs on top and bottom of the panel with the
slots on the side of the unit.
3. Slide the panel towards the front of the unit, ensuring the
tabs are seated securely in the slots. The panel will click
into place.
4. Reinstall the thumb screw on the back of the unit to
secure the panel.
5. If needed, repeat Steps 1–4 to reinstall the second panel.
