Identify the replacement scenario
Eight scenarios for replacing the S8300 hardware are summarized in
scenarios on page 5. 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. Scenario 8 is the most common
replacement scenario for replacing the server/hard drive.
