A replacement controller chassis ships with 16 GB of installed memory. Put

these steps below in the correct order to complete the upgrade procedure to
replace a 64GB memory configuration when a new set of 64 GB memory has
also been ordered.

4 -Step #1

Install the 16 GB of
memory (removed
1. from the new
controller) in the
existing controller

3 - Step #2

Remove the 64 GB of
memory from the
2. existing controller and
add it to the FRU
return packaging

2 - Step #3

Install the 64 GB of
memory from the
3.
memory service kit in
the new controller

1 - Step #4

Remove the 16 GB of
4. memory shipped in the
new controller.

There are a number of ways to identify a failing power supply. Please select
the correct ways from below.
In the system storage center manager

An alert will be sent
In the BIOS

Where can you find the SC8000 service tag?

On the motherboard
EST Panel

On a label attached to the rear of the chassis

On the rack

Select two true statements about SC8000 power supply units (PSUs).
They are hot-swappable

A replacement controller chassis ships with 16 GB of installed memory. Which

upgrade procedure should be used to replace a 64 GB memory configuration in
an SC8000 if no new memory has been ordered?
Install six 8 GB modules from
the existing controller in the
new controller to make 64 GB
Remove the 64 GB memory
from the existing controller
and install in the new
controller
Return the new controller and
order one with 64 GB memory
installed

Where does the SC8000 have the SCOS (Storage Center OS) installed?
On a PCIe flash card
On the disks of the enclosure the
SC8000 is connected to

On the internal 8GB SD card

On an internal SC8000 hard drive

What should you do before sliding the SC8000 out of the service position and
back into the rack?
Ensure that the SD card is well seated
as it can be jarred loose when you
move the SC800i into the service
position
Ensure the system cover is on to avoid
breaking the Intrusion Detection
Switch
Ensure that no one is behind the rack to
avoid injury

What 2 things should you do before and after servicing an SC8000?

Turn on the SC8000
Reconfigure the RAID array to ensure
no data loss
Perform a Phone Home action
Contact Dell Technical support
enable/disable alerts
