2 Job Aid: Replacing the S8300 Media Server or its Hard Drive
Before you go to the site
There are seven possible scenarios for replacing the S8300 hardware, as summarized in the table below.
Each scenario requires a slightly different pre-installation preparation and a slightly different installation
procedure. The different scenarios depend on:
• whether the original (currently installed) hardware is functional, and
• whether the software releases installed on the original and new hardware are the same, different,
or unknown.
