Expander zoning A SAS expander board allows higher, single-volume hard drive configurations. An integrated expander device expands each sleds hard drive footprint. The Dell EMC PowerEdge C6400 enclosure supports four sled access to a single expander controller at the same time.
NOTE: ● Install expander firmware 2.07 or later to support these configurations ● The expander mode works only with a PERC card, and is not supported by the onboard SATA controller.
Diagnostic indicators The diagnostic indicators on the system indicate operation and error status. Drive indicator codes Each drive carrier has an activity LED indicator and a status LED indicator. The indicators provide information about the status of the drive. The activity LED indicator indicates whether the drive is in use or not. The status LED indicator indicates the power condition of the drive. Figure 8. Drive indicators on the drive and the mid drive tray backplane 1.

Before working inside your system Prerequisites Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions. Steps 1. Power off the system, including all attached peripherals. 2. Disconnect the system from the electrical outlet and disconnect the peripherals. 3. If applicable, remove the system from the rack. For more information, see the Rack Installation Guide at www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals. 4. Remove the system cover.
Figure 17. Sled Installation Guidelines Removing a sled Prerequisites 1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions. 2. Follow the procedure listed in Before working inside your enclosure. NOTE: The process of removing a sled blank is similar to removing a sled. Steps Press the retaining latch and using the sled pull handle, slide the sled out of the enclosure horizontally, ensuring that the sled is supported from beneath.
Figure 18. Removing a sled Figure 19. Removing a sled blank Next steps 1. Install the sled into the enclosure.
NOTE: If the sled is not being replaced immediately, a sled blank must be installed to ensure proper cooling of the system. Installing a sled Prerequisites 1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions. 2. If installed, remove the sled blank. Steps Slide the sled into the enclosure horizontally, ensuring that the sled is supported from beneath until it locks into place. Figure 20.
Figure 21. Installing a sled blank Next steps 1. Follow the procedure listed in After working inside your enclosure. NOTE: To add the Service Tag of the system board to match the Service Tag of the physical node, contact Dell Technical Support. Drives CAUTION: Before attempting to remove or install a drive while the system is running, see the documentation for the storage controller card to ensure that the host adapter is configured correctly.
CAUTION: Mixing drive blanks from previous generations of PowerEdge servers is not supported. Steps Press the release button, and slide the drive blank out of the drive slot. Figure 22. Removing a drive blank Next steps 1. Install a drive or a drive blank. Installing a drive blank The procedure for installing 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive blanks is identical. Prerequisites 1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions..
If the drive is online, the green activity or fault indicator flashes while the drive is turning off. When the drive indicators are off, the drive is ready for removal. For more information, see the documentation for the storage controller. CAUTION: Before attempting to remove or install a drive while the system is running, see the documentation for the storage controller card to ensure that the host adapter is configured correctly to support drive removal and insertion.
CAUTION: To prevent data loss, ensure that your operating system supports hot-swap drive installation. See the documentation supplied with your operating system. CAUTION: When a replacement hot swappable drive is installed and the system is powered on, the drive automatically begins to rebuild. Ensure that the replacement drive is blank or contains data that you wish to overwrite. Any data on the replacement drive is immediately lost after the drive is installed. 1.
Figure 26. Removing the drive from the drive carrier Next steps 1. If applicable, install the drive into the drive carrier. Installing a drive into the drive carrier Prerequisites CAUTION: Mixing drive carriers from other generations of PowerEdge servers is not supported. NOTE: When installing a drive into the drive carrier, ensure that the screws are torqued to 4 in-lbs. 1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions. Steps 1.
Figure 27. Installing a drive into the drive carrier Next steps Install the drive carrier. Power supply units CAUTION: The PSUs must have the Extended Power Performance (EPP) label. Mixing PSUs (even the PSUs that have the same power rating) from previous generations of PowerEdge servers is not supported. Mixing PSUs results in a PSU mismatch condition or failure to turn the system on. Your system supports two 2400 W AC PSUs. NOTE: For more information, see the PowerEdge T440 Technical Specs at www.dell.
Redundancy can maintain the same conservative standards of redundancy as traditional Grid Redundancy by limiting peak power after redundancy is lost to levels which fit within the surviving Power Supply. Policy control As with all Redundancy Policies, while the two Power Supplies remain healthy, load is shared evenly between them and the capacity of both Power Supplies is made available for use.
Figure 28. Removing a power supply unit Next steps Install the PSU or install the PSU blank Installing a power supply unit Prerequisites 1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions. 2. For systems that support redundant PSU, ensure that both the PSUs are of the same type and have the same maximum output power. NOTE: The maximum output power (shown in watts) is listed on the PSU label.
Figure 29. Installing a power supply unit Next steps 1. Connect the power cable to the PSU, and plug the cable into a power outlet. CAUTION: Secure the power cable to the PSU with the strap provided on the PSU handle. NOTE: When installing, hot swapping, or hot adding a new PSU, wait for 15 seconds for the system to recognize the PSU and determine its status. The PSU redundancy may not occur until discovery is complete. Wait until the new PSU is discovered and enabled before you remove the other PSU.
Figure 30. Removing the system cover Next steps 1. Install the system cover. Installing the system cover Prerequisites CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team.
