Remove the Front Bezel
1. Carefully take hold of the front bezel and pull it straight
out from the appliance until it releases.
2. Set the bezel aside on a secure surface.
Remove the Drives
IMPORTANT: Overland recommends that you remove all the
drives to reduce the unit’s weight prior to rack removal.
1. Press the release button on the right side of the carrier.
2. Using the built-in handle, pull the carrier out.
Repeat this procedure for all the remaining carriers.
NOTE: Do not remove the drives from their carriers as doing so
voids the drive warranty.
Remove the Chassis from the Rack
WARNING: It is recommended that a mechanical lifter (or at
least two people) be used during rack installation or removal to
prevent injury.
WARNUNG: Um Verletzungen zu vermeiden, empfehlen wir zur
Rack-Installation oder -Deinstallation die Nutzung einer
mechanischen Hebehilfe (oder mindestens zwei Personen).
AVERTISSEMENT: Pour éviter toute blessure il est
recommande qu'un monte-charge (ou deux personnes au
moins) soit utilisé lors de l'installation ou de l'enlèvement du
support.
1. Based on the mounting system, with a lifter positioned in
front of the chassis, carefully remove the chassis from the
rack as follows:
• Fixed brackets – Remove and retain the four screws
with slip nuts from the brackets, and slide the
chassis out onto the lifter.
• Sliding rails – Release the front flange captive
screws, slide the chassis out until it stops, release the
rail locks, and slide the chassis onto the lifter.
2. Move the chassis onto a secure surface.

Reinstall the Chassis in the Rack
Remount the Chassis
1. Using the mechanical lifter, position the chassis in front
of the rack.
2. Reinstall it based on its mounting system:
• Fixed brackets – Move the chassis into the same
location and, using the four retained screws with slip
nuts, secure the brackets to the rack.
• Sliding rails – Slide the chassis side rails into the
rack rails, push the chassis all the way to the rear,
and secure it using the front flange captive screws.
Reinstall the Carriers
1. Position the drive carrier in front of a drive bay.
2. Push the carrier in until the latch closes, locking the
carrier in the drive bay.
Repeat the procedure for each remaining drive carrier.
IMPORTANT: To maintain proper airflow and cooling, a drive or
blank carrier must be installed in every bay. No empty bays are
allowed.
Reattach the Bezel
1. Position the bezel with the top aligned with the top edge
of the chassis front.
2. Push the bezel onto the unit until it snaps into place.
3. Verify that the bezel is aligned properly and that all the
LEDs are visible.
Reattach the Cables and Power Cord
1. Reattach all the cables (not including the power cord) to
the same chassis connections previously used.
2. Next, attach the power cord.
3. At the front, press the power switch to power it on.
Return the Replaced Part to Overland
1. Put the replaced part in the anti-static bag and place it
in the box the part came in.
2. Use an RMA to return the part to Overland Storage.
