Disassembly and Disposal | NVIDIA Spectrum-6 SN6000 Switch Systems Hardware User Manual

Disassembly Procedure

To disassemble the system from the rack:

Unplug and remove all connectors.
Unplug all power cords.
Remove the ground wire.
Unscrew the center bolts from the side of the system with the bracket.

Support the weight of the system when you remove the screws so that the system does not fall.
Slide the system from the rack.
Remove the rail slides from the rack.
Remove the caged nuts.

RMA

Temperature Sensitivity of Fully Filled Liquid Systems	TPU Exposure Risks	Recommended Shipment Processes	Storage Time Limitation
Fully filled liquid cooling systems are susceptible to temperature fluctuations during transportation or storage, potentially causing volume changes and deformation damage.	Prolonged storage of fully filled PG25 liquid systems can damage TPU internal LC connections. To prevent this, specific shipment processes must be followed.	Partial Drainage Shipment Remove the Taipan from system manifold and drain its cooling loop (via gravity or pumping). Vent the unit during drainage by connecting one UQD side to the drain and the other as a vent. Ensure the minimum required amount of liquid is drained. For specific drainage values, contact your NVIDIA representative. This process supports shipment temperatures from -40°C to 70°C. Alternate Wet Tray Shipment Connect an external hose between the two UQDs of the switch to provide an expansion buffer. This method is suitable for transportation temperatures between 5°C and 60°C.	Regardless of the chosen shipment method, limit storage time to a maximum of 45 days before arrival at Nvidia RMA Labs.

This method is suitable for transportation temperatures between 5°C and 60°C.

Regardless of the chosen shipment method, limit storage time to a maximum of 45 days before arrival at Nvidia RMA Labs.

For drained systems, ensure the shipping temperature remains between -40 °C and +70 °C.
