Shutting Down the System
To shut down the system:
Caution: Before shutting down the DXi6802 or DXi690x, make sure that all
backup and replication jobs are finished, and that space
reclamation activity is complete.
1 Shut down the system from the remote management console using the
Shutdown option on the Utilities > Reboot & Shutdown page.
Note: Shutting down the system can take up to 15 minutes. Only the
Node will completely shut down.

Note: If you need help accessing remote management, see the
User’s Guide

2 After the Node shuts down, turn off both power switches on the back of
each Array Module (RBOD) (see
Figure 1). Wait until the seven segment
display on the rear of the module turns off.
3 Turn off both power switches on the back of each Expansion Module (EBOD)
(see
Figure 2).

Follow the steps below to replace the DXi6802 or DXi690x Node rails:
1 Removing the DXi6802 or DXi690x Node from the Rack on page 3

Removing the DXi6802 or DXi690x Node from the Rack
To remove the DXi6802 or DXi690x Node from the rack:
1 Shut down the DXi6802 or DXi690x system (see Shutting Down the System
on page 2).
2 If installed, remove the front bezel from the Node by lifting the latch on the
left side of the bezel.
3 Remove all power, SAS, Ethernet, and Fibre Channel cables from the rear of
the Node. Make sure to label the cables so they can be easily identified
when they are re-connected to the Node after the replacement procedure is
complete.
4 Press the locking tab on either side of the Node, and slide the Node out
from the rack until the inner rails lock.
Note: If necessary, remove the optional screws securing the Node to the
front of the rack (behind the locking tab).
5 Locate the lock levers on the sides of the inner rails (see Figure 3). Unlock
each lever by rotating it up to its release position.

6 Slide the Node forward until the rail standoffs are at the front of the J-slots.
7 Remove the Node from the rack and place it on a level surface.
WARNING: The DXi6802 Node (including hard drives) weighs 53.3
pounds (24.2 kg). The DXi6900 G1/G2 Node (including hard
drives) weighs 53.0 pounds (24.0 kg). A minimum of two
people are required to lift the chassis.
8 Use a flat head screwdriver to lift the latch release button on the end piece
midpoint and unseat each rail (see
the rack.

Installing the DXi6802 or DXi690x Node Rack Mounting Rails
To install the replacement DXi6802 or DXi690x Node rack mounting rails:
1 If present, remove the orange plastic clip from each mounting rail so that
the rail can be extended. (The rails are marked right and left.)
2 Position the left and right rail end pieces labeled FRONT facing inward, and
orient each end piece to seat in the holes on the front side of the vertical
rack flanges (see
Figure 5).

3 Align each back end piece in the bottom and top holes of the desired U
spaces.
4 Engage the back end of the rail until it fully seats on the vertical rack flange
and the latch clicks into place. Repeat these actions to position and seat the
front end piece on the vertical rack flange.
To install the DXi6802 or DXi690x Node:
1 Pull the inner slide rails out of the rack until they lock into place (see
Figure 6).
