NOTES: The PowerVault 530F is a “headless” system that is managed through the
onboard Ethernet connection. It operates without a keyboard, monitor or mouse.
While it is possible to connect these peripherals to the PowerVault 530F system, it is
generally not necessary unless troubleshooting the system.
The PowerVault 530F has a fixed hardware configuration. Any attempt to change this
configuration (by adding expansion cards, memory, etc.) causes the PowerVault 530F
to function improperly. Hardware problems should be addressed by a certified Dell
service provider.
