Overview of the Hitachi NAS Platform. The 3080 and 3090 G1 hardware reference explains how to configure the hardware and software, and how to replace faulty components.
- Child Topics
- System components
The system contains many components and is housed in a rack or cabinet. This section describes the main system components.
- Server specifications
The following specifications are for the server. Except for the power and cooling values, these specifications do not reflect differences among models; they are the maximum for all server models. For more detailed specifications of a particular model or configuration, contact your representative.
- Attaching a rack stabilizer plate
A rack stabilizer plate and mounting hardware are supplied with some system configurations.
Hitachi Vantara recommends that you always use the stabilizer plate when provided. Use of a stabilizer plate is required for those installations with dense trays.

- NVRAM backup battery pack
Each server contains a battery pack. The battery pack maintains the NVRAM contents when the server is not receiving power (due to a power failure or a short-term shut down). The battery pack is located behind the front bezel cover of the server, on the left-hand side. The battery pack is hot-swappable and can only be accessed after the front bezel has been removed.
- Server rear panel
The rear panel of the server features numerous ports, connectors, switches, and LEDs.
- Bezel removal
The server bezel is held onto the server chassis through a friction fit onto four retention posts, which are mounted to the chassis along the left and right edges of the chassis. There are no screws or other fasteners.
- Replacing a fan
- Replacing the NVRAM backup battery pack
To replace the NVRAM backup battery pack in a server, you remove the old battery and install the new replacement. Perform the battery pack replacement as quickly as possible, and only when the new pack is present.
- Replacing a hard disk
- Replacing a power supply unit
You can replace a power supply unit (PSU) as a hot-swappable server component. The server can operate on a single PSU if necessary, making it possible to replace a failed PSU without shutting down the server. If a PSU fails, it should be replaced as quickly as possible, because operating on a single PSU means that there is no redundancy in that area, increasing the risk of an interruption in service to clients.
