Which two steps are required to replace a drawer in a DS460c shelf? (Choose two.)
AnswerB, D
ExplanationTo replace a drawer in a DS460c shelf, the following steps must be taken:
1. Disconnect the cable chains from the chassis
Why this is required:
Cable chains connect the drawer to the shelf and must be disconnected to safely remove the drawer.
2. Evacuate all drives in the drawer
Why this is required:
Drives must be removed to avoid damage during the drawer replacement process and to reduce the weight of the drawer for safe handling.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
A . Shut down both nodes:
This is unnecessary because DS460c shelves support online replacement, and the system can remain operational.
C . Power off the shelf:
This is also unnecessary. DS460c shelves are hot-swappable, meaning they do not require the shelf to be powered down.
