IBM 9009-41A - Replacing the NVMe drive backplane

Figure 101. Removing the NVMe drive backplane
12. Lift the NVMe drive backplane out of the chassis.
13. If the removed part is used again, place the part on an electrostatic discharge (ESD) mat.
Replacing the NVMe drive backplane in the 9009-41G or 9009-42G system
To replace the NVMe drive backplane in the system, complete the steps in this procedure.
Procedure
1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and that the ESD clip is plugged
into a ground jack or connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not, do so now.
2. The chassis has two alignment pins and several brackets (A) to secure the NVMe drive backplane.
Using the NVMe drive backplane touchpoint (B), thumbscrew (C) and alignment pins (A), insert the
NVMe drive backplane as shown in the following gure. Ensure that the alignment pins t through the
holes in the NVMe drive backplane.
Slide the NVMe drive backplane to the side in the direction that is shown so that the NVMe drive
backplane slides under tabs in the chassis.
