2U Expansion Chassis Spare

For SnapServer

®

 EXP E2000

This document describes how to remove and replace the 
chassis in an SnapServer EXP E2000 expansion unit 
from Overland Storage.

It is 

required

 that the work be done by an Authorized 

Service Provider. Improper installation may result in 
damage which voids existing warranties.

WARNING:  To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to 
equipment, always remove the power cords.

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

Disconnect and Power Off 

1.

Power off the unit by pressing the 

Power button

 on 

the front of the server for 

no more

 than one second.

While there is no obvious change, the expansion unit 
starts its shutdown process. 

2.

Wait 

1-2 minutes

, and then verify that the Power 

LED is off before continuing.

3.

Disconnect the 

power cords

 from the rear of the 

power supplies.

4.

Disconnect all 

data cables

 from the unit.

Remove the Disk Carriers

IMPORTANT:  Overland recommends that you remove the drive 
assemblies to lessen the unit’s weight prior to removal. The 
assemblies must be reinstalled in the same slots.

1.

Remove the 

bezel

 by pressing the latch on the right 

side, pulling the right side away from the unit, and 
pulling the bezel off to the right. Set the bezel aside.

NOTE: Do not remove the disk drives from their carriers. 
Doing so voids the drive warranty.

2.

On the drive carrier, press the 

button

 to release the 

assembly handle.

3.

Use the 

handle

 to pull the assembly out.

4.

Number the assembly and set it on an ESD surface.

5.

Repeat 

Steps 2–4

 for the remaining drive carrier 

assemblies.

Remove Expansion Unit from Rack

WARNING:  To prevent injury, it is recommended that a 
mechanical lifter (or at least two people) be used during 
installation or removal.

1.

Remove and retain the 

screws

 holding the expansion 

unit to the rack rails.

2.

Using the two 

handles

, pull the unit out until the 

rails lock.

3.

Press down 

both latches

 where the inner rail on the 

expansion unit goes into the middle rail.

4.

Keeping it parallel to the floor, pull the 

unit

 out of 

the rack and place it on an ESD surface.

5.

Unpack the 

new chassis

 and place it on the ESD 

surface next to the old unit.
