Chapter 3:

Replacing Modules

Nexsan BEAST are designed so that some components can be replaced without turning off the system or
interrupting its functioning. This chapter describes how to replace each of these modules in the field while
the unit is running.

CAUTION

: Computer components and disk drives are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Always ground any electrostatic charge from your person before touching components with your
hands or with any tools. Always use an anti-static wrist strap (one ships with each Nexsan Storage
System) while installing or performing maintenance on any Nexsan Storage System. See

proper ESD precautions

on page 23 for detailed instructions.

This chapter contains the following sections:

Power Supply Units (PSUs)

RAID Controllers (BT60 only)

Expansion Controllers (BT60X only)
