Scenarios
Remove an NVMe PCIe SSD if:
● The NVMe PCIe SSD has failed.
● The NVMe PCIe SSD needs to be replaced with a new model.
● The NVMe PCIe SSD has no free space.
● If the NVMe PCIe SSD to be removed is used as a data disk, simply remove it without
powering o the server.
● If the NVMe PCIe SSD to be removed is used as a boot disk, power o the server rst.
For details, see 6.2 Powering O the RH8100 V3. Then manually remove the SSD. For
details, see 5.8.3 Removing a SATA/SAS/SSD Hard Disk.
Prerequisites
Conditions
You have backed up data on the NVMe PCIe SSD to be removed.
● Wait until the hot removal of an NVMe PCIe SSD is complete before you remove
another one.
● The interval between the removal operations of two NVMe PCIe SSDs must be longer
than 30 seconds.
Data
● You have obtained the cabinet number and chassis number of the RH8100 V3.
● You have located the RH8100 V3 based on the preceding information, and
labeled its panel to prevent misoperations.
● You have determined the position on the RH8100 V3 for removing an NVMe
PCIe SSD.
● You have obtained a list of all operating systems (OSs) supported by NVMe
PCIe SSDs. For details, see 2.9 Software and Hardware Compatibility.
● If NVMe PCIe SSDs are installed in slots HDD 0 to HDD 7 in the front panel,
HDD 0 to HDD 7 correspond to slot 30 to slot 37 in the OS. For example, if
NVMe PCIe SSDs are installed in only HDD 3 and HDD 4, slot 33 in the OS
corresponds to HDD 3 and slot 34 corresponds to HDD4.
Tools
● ESD gloves or ESD wrist strap
● Packaging materials, for example, an ESD bag
Procedure
Step 1 Wear an ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves. For details, see 1 Safety Instructions.
Step 2 Remove the NVMe PCIe SSD.
Remove the NVMe PCIe SSD on Windows.
