How to use this guide
This guide contains all hardware-related FRU steps in a single document for VxFlex
Ready Node R840 servers.
The first part of this guide contains general system information about the R840
servers, as well as information regarding initial system setup.
The content that follows is arranged by FRU type in a logical manner. It displays the
specific steps for each FRU procedure. You are referred to the
VxFlex Ready Node
Field Replacement Unit Software Guide
for the VxFlex OS-related software steps
required in preparation for replacing the component.
When the instructions arrive at the point where you must perform the actual part
replacement, step-by-step instructions are provided for removing the faulty
component and installing the new component on the server.
You are then referred back to the
VxFlex Ready Node Hardware Field Replacement Unit
and Service Manual
to perform any necessary software steps to complete the FRU
procedure and return the VxFlex OS node to operation.
