Removing a SSD storage drive
Use this information to remove an SSD storage drive.
The blade server has two SSD storage bays. To remove an SSD storage drive,
complete the following steps.
SSD Storage drive
1. Before you begin, read “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on
page 49.
2. Remove the blade server from the BladeCenter unit (see “Removing the blade
server from the BladeCenter unit” on page 52).
3. Remove the cover from the blade server (see “Removing the blade server
cover” on page 55).
4. If an expansion unit is installed, remove the expansion unit (see “Removing an
optional expansion unit” on page 57).
5. Remove the front bezel from the blade server (see “Removing the bezel
assembly” on page 59).
Attention: When you remove an SSD drive, use a felt-tip pen to write which
SSD connector the drive was removed from on the drive label. Installing an
SSD drive into a different SSD connector can damage the RAID configuration.
Note: If there is an SSD drive in SSD connector 1, it must be removed before
you can remove the SSD drive in SSD connector 0. SSD connector 1 is on top of
SSD connector 0.
6. Locate the SSD storage drive you want to remove; then, press the release
button to eject the SSD drive (see “Blade server connectors” on page 14).
7. Use your fingers to pull the SSD drive out of the SSD connector.
8. If you are instructed to return the storage drive, follow all packaging
instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to
you.
