Hi there!
We're running VmWare ESXi Standard (so no HA), and we've orderer a Dell R720xd for that purpose. We described our requirements, but Dell technician recommended a H310 and it turned out to be a bad recommendation as our IO is not satisfactory. So we finally got Dell to replace H710 instead of H310 (we'll miss H310s ability to handle non-raid HDDs though), but I need to perform the upgrade myself.
I've read this thread here:
en.community.dell.com/.../19482144
Power down
Remove H310
Insert H710
Power Up
Import [foreign] configuration (if necessary)
Done
so I just wanted to ask if this is really all that is to it.
What confused me was this video here:

where there is some more action taking place (in Windows?!).
