Are replacement SSD spare parts for DIP 71xx (DIP-7180-00N) units available via RMA or official spare parts channels?

Question

Are replacement SSD spare parts for DIP 71xx (DIP-7180-00N) units available via RMA or official spare parts channels?

Answer

No. For DIP 71xx systems, the SSD model originally validated for these devices has reached End of Life, and the platform itself is in a late lifecycle stage. According to SMC, spare parts for these components are no longer available and RMAs can no longer be processed.

The recommended approach is to procure a compatible replacement locally. The SSD originally used in these systems is:

• Intel D3-S4510 - 240 GB SATA SSD (Model: SSDSC2KB240G8)

Considering the age of the systems, sourcing identical units locally is the most practical solution. It is also recommended to obtain additional drives of the same model to serve as spare parts for potential future replacements.

Customers are responsible for arranging local procurement and replacement, as official supply channels are no longer available for this component.
