Spare O/S Drive
In the caddy, there are two SSDs: one for the C:\ drive and one spare, containing a factory-settings clone. The
caddy is secured by two screws, which when released allow the tray of two SSDs to be withdrawn from its
internal connectors:
The SSDs are each held in place by four small screws. The upper disk is the spare (factory clone), and the lower
is the C:\ drive.
Mark the spare drive replacement (e.g. write 'R' on the green sticker) and remove it.
·
Remove the failed or failing SSD, label it appropriately (source, date, type of failure), and keep it, with its
·
four mounting screws. Do not reinsert it back in the server.
Replace the spare SSD in the lower position.
·
Replace the caddy in the server and secure it with the original two screws.
·
Purchase a replacement SSD from 7thSense, in the event of a subsequent failure.
·
Restoring the C:\ drive
The factory-clone image on the spare SSD will provide your operating system. You will need to restore a
backup of all your media and resources, and if you do not have a clone of the previous SSD, you will need to
reconfigure your graphics card(s). Only use the driver originally provided for this, since these have been tested
with the card(s) in the server.
Create your own clone
The alternative is to create your own backup clone.
