Replacing SSD

About this task

The Dell T5810 has two SSDs, and they have the same replacement procedure.

Procedure

  1. Disconnect the power supply and data cables from the SSD.
    Figure 9. SSD cables removal
  2. Press in gently on both sides of the bracket and slide the SSD carrier out of the slot.
    Figure 10. SSD carrier removal
  3. Remove the bracket from the SSD carrier.
    Figure 11. Bracket and carrier
  4. Press on the two tabs on one side of the SSD carrier to separate the pins from the SSD and remove the SSD from the carrier.
    Figure 12. SSD and carrier
    Note: You can twist the carrier to separate the pins more easily.
    Even though the pin is long and the tab is hard, it is possible to detach the pin from the SSD as illustration below.
    Figure 13. Pin removal
  5. Install the new SSD in reverse sequence.
    There are no jumpers required to configure the disk drives on the Dell T5810. Connect the power cables to the SATA connectors labeled on the board as HDD1 and HDD0.

Finalization

Prerequisites

FRU Item Replaced Actions to be performed
DVD driveReboot and confirm that the DVD drive can read and write images.
Hard driveReload the software.
CMOS battery
  • Update the customized BIOS settings.
  • Shut down the PC and turn off the power.
  • Re-apply the power and restart the PC.
  • Make sure the date/time is correct (CMOS battery properly keeps date/time).

Procedure

  1. Remove LOTO on the GOC to return power. If needed, reconnect the twist-n-lock main power cable to the rear of the console. See the MR Service Safety Manual (5452735).
  2. Push the power button on the front of the host PC within the GOC .
  3. Note: If you replaced the battery, you need to go to the BIOS settings before the host PC starts. To get into the BIOS menu, you need to push F2 as soon as the Dell circle shows. The Dell circle only shows for 5 seconds.
    (For CMOS battery replacement) Push F2 when you see the Dell circle on the screen. Do the following steps:
    1. If you see a message that indicates the time-of-day is not set, press F2 to continue.
    2. Select Set Time and Date and enter the correct time. Use the Tab key to move the cursor and use the left and right arrow keys to change values.
      After you set the time and date, the BIOS settings will open.
    3. Restore the customized BIOS settings. Change only the values shown in the table below:
      Table 1. Customized BIOS settings

    4. Click Apply to save changes, and then press Exit.
      The system reboots. BIOS configuration is complete.
  4. Note: Make sure the host PC front panel power LED is illuminated as a steady blue signal.
    (For SSD Replacement) Load software and applications onto the operating system.
  5. Run a goodbye scan.
  6. Make sure all customer functions are operational (auto voice, filming, network, archive).
  7. (For DV25 software or later) Host PC or hard disk replacement will change the service license ID. Contact your local RTE/OLC through the normal support process to update the 16-digit code, and then log into the SSA Web site and use Renew Softkey to re-generate the soft license if applicable.
