The Solid State Drive (SSD) is a data storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently. The SSD Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) stores the SBC 5000 series platform operating system, application software and billing files. The SSD product codes are as follows:
With SBC 5000 series, both the SSD drive slots are turned on even if there is only one drive available.
Input power to the chassis must be removed before changing the Solid State Drive.
Perform the following procedure to replace the Solid State Drive:
Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screw (a spring-loaded screw that does not detach from the device) securing the lever of the SSD being replaced as shown below.
Pull the lever until the SSD disengages from the SBC 5000 series chassis.
Insert the new SSD into the same slot that previously contained the old SSD.
Remove the SSD and place it into the ESD protective bag.
Remove the new SSD from the ESD bag and insert it fully into the empty SSD slot.
Close the lever and tighten the captive screw to 10 inch/lbs using the torque driver.
Reapply power to SBC 5000 series chassis (refer to appropriate Power Supply CRU for guidance).
Verify that the SSD LED is Green (located to the right of SSD).
Unplug the ESD wrist strap from the front of the chassis.
Reattach the bezel assembly to SBC 5000 series (see SBC 5000 Series Bezel).
After completing the SSD replacement, re-install the operating system and the SBC application. Refer to Re-Installing ConnexIP Operating System for SBC 5000 Series and to Installing SBC Application for more information and procedures.
All SBC 5000 series CRUs are shipped in electrostatic discharge bags and should be handled using appropriate ESD precautions.
The storage environment for these CRUs is:
The ESD Susceptibility symbol warns of the presence of Sonus devices susceptible to electrostatic discharge. Do not handle equipment without wearing a properly grounded ESD wrist strap.
