Unplug a system component if it needs to be moved or if it is damaged. ■ Note: For additional data protection, Hitachi recommends that you use an external UPS to power the server. Also, each of the redundant power supplies in the server and in the storage subsystems should be operated from a different mains power circuit in order to provide a degree of protection from mains power supply failures.
If a module is faulty, replace it with one of the same type, of at least the same capacity and speed. Always shut down the system before it is moved, switched off, or reset. ■ Chapter 2: Safety information Hitachi NAS Platform and Hitachi Unified Storage Series 4000 Hardware Reference...

This section describes the components included in the server chassis. A Hitachi Unified Storage File Module system can contain single Hitachi NAS Platform server or several servers that operate as a cluster. Clusters of more than two servers include two 10 Gbps Ethernet switches. Hitachi Vantara only requires two switches for redundancy.
Page 27
SMU provides the management functionality. In some cases, multiple SMUs are advisable. Storage A Hitachi NAS Platform system or a Hitachi Unified Storage File subsystems Module system can control several storage enclosures. The maximum number of storage enclosures in a rack depends on the model of storage enclosures being installed.
Server components The Series 4000 server comes in four models: Hitachi NAS Platform 4040, Hitachi NAS Platform 4060, Hitachi NAS Platform 4080, and Hitachi NAS Platform 4100. Physically, models HNAS 4060 and HNAS 4080 are identical. To upgrade a model HNAS 4060 to a model HNAS 4080 requires the addition of a software license.
Note: A rack unit, or U, is a unit of measure that is used to describe the height of equipment intended to be mounted in a rack. One rack unit is equivalent to 1.75 inches or 44.45 millimeters.

Note: Replacement servers are shipped without an embedded system management unit (SMU), so you must have a SMU installed before you can connect to a standalone server. Appendix A: Server replacement procedures Hitachi NAS Platform and Hitachi Unified Storage Series 4000 Hardware Reference...
■ Model selection The Hitachi NAS Platform 4040 server has a unique chassis. The other three models of the Hitachi NAS Platform Series 4000 server share the same chassis: Hitachi NAS Platform 4060, Hitachi NAS Platform 4080, and Hitachi NAS Platform 4100. Models HNAS 4060 and HNAS 4080 are physically identical.
The replacement server will have a new MAC ID. The new ID forces the need for new license keys regardless whether it is a single node or complete cluster replacement. As part of a field replacement process, Hitachi Vantara recommends that temporary keys be obtained to enable quick delivery and implementation. However, any temporary keys used must eventually be replaced with a permanent key.
Important: Set expectations up front with the customer that this will delay time to recovery, and that some aspects of the systems configuration might never be recovered. Appendix A: Server replacement procedures Hitachi NAS Platform and Hitachi Unified Storage Series 4000 Hardware Reference...
Both the server and SMU firmware versions must match those on the failed server; otherwise, the server cannot properly restore from the backup file. See the release notes and the Hitachi NAS Platform and Hitachi Unified Storage File Module System Installation Guide for release-specific requirements.
