Nope, it' really a drop-in. Booting via Internet Recovery and runningThank you for your reply. Your help is much appreciated.I thought I had missed some compatibility issue with OS Monterey. Yes its 12+16 connector.See pics attached. It is back for replacement then.
diskutil list
with the Terminal should show the blade as disk0, something like this:/dev/disk0 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: *960.2 GB disk0
Would that process involve having to reinstall all my data?Nope, it' really a drop-in. Booting via Internet Recovery and runningdiskutil list

Btw, the current MacPro6,1 EFI firmware version is 430.140.2.0.0, so you have a EFI firmware update to do.
Doing a clean install of Monterey 12.4 via Internet Recovery should update your EFI automatically.
is your firmware v 430.140.2.0.0 - mine is only 430.120.6.0.0. I have returned product for replacement but would like to avoid issues when replacement received.Would that process involve having to reinstall all my data?

Thanks for your reply which clarifies the situation excellently.What you are really asking?
You'll be installing a brand new blade, obviously you will need to restore everything from your TimeMachine backup.
If you are asking about the firmware upgrade, you don't need to do it right now and while installing Monterey to the brand new blade via Internet Recovery, the macOS installer will automatically upgrade the firmware.
