Maintain H-series hardware
H-series hardware maintenance overview
You should perform hardware maintenance tasks, such as replace faulty nodes, replace
faulty drives in the storage nodes, and so on to ensure that your system functions
optimally.
Here are the links to the hardware maintenance tasks:
• Replace 2U H-series chassis
• Replace DC power supply units in H615C and H610S nodes
• Replace DIMMs in compute nodes
• Replace drives for storage nodes
• Replace H410C nodes
• Replace H410S nodes
• Replace H610C and H615C nodes
• Replace H610S nodes
• Replace power supply units
• Replace SN2010, SN2100, and SN2700 switches
• Replace storage node in a two-node cluster

Replace 2U H-series chassis
If your chassis has a fan failure or a power issue, you should replace it as soon as
possible. The steps in the chassis replacement procedure depend on your NetApp HCI
configuration and cluster capacity, which requires careful consideration and planning. You
should contact NetApp Support for guidance and to order a replacement chassis.
About this task
You should consider the following before you replace the chassis:
• Does your rack have additional space for a new chassis?
• Do any of the chassis in your deployment have unused node slots?
• If your rack has additional space, can you move each of the nodes from the failed chassis to the new
chassis, one at a time? You should keep in mind that this process might take time.
