This article describes how to replace your Azure Stack Edge device. A replacement device is needed when the existing device has a hardware failure or needs an upgrade.
In this article, you learn how to:
[!div class="checklist"]
- Open a Support ticket for hardware issue
- Create a new order for a replacement device in the Azure portal
- Install, activate the replacement device
- Return the original device
If your existing device has a hardware failure, open a Support ticket by following these steps:
-
Open a Support ticket with Microsoft Support indicating that you wish to return the device. Select the Azure Stack Edge Hardware problem type, and choose the Hardware issues subtype.
-
A Microsoft Support engineer will get in touch with you to determine if a Field Replacement Unit (FRU) can fix the problem and is available for this instance. If a FRU is not available or the device needs a hardware upgrade, Support will guide you to place a new order and return your old device.
Create a new resource for the activation of your replacement device by following the steps in Create a new resource.
Note
Activation of a replacement device against an existing resource is not supported. The new resource is considered a new order. You will start getting billed 14 days after the device is shipped to you.
Follow these steps to install and activate the replacement device:
- Install your device.
- Activate your device against the new resource that you created earlier.
Follow all the steps to return the original device:
- Erase the data on the device.
- Initiate device return for the original device.
- Schedule a pickup.
- Once the device is received at Microsoft, you can Delete the resource associated with the returned device.
