7.6.2 M.2 SSD and Cold Plate Replacement for Liquid-Cooled Configurations
Required Tools and Supplies
• Replacement PCIe* / SATA M.2 SSD
• M.2 cold plate kit (iPC DNPM2LCHS) for each replacement M.2 SSD (recommended)
• Anti-static wrist strap and conductive workbench pad (recommended)
• Phillips* head screwdriver #1
Liquid-cooled configurations use the M.2 SSD cold plate to absorb the heat generated by the SSD. A thermal
pad made from a thermal interface material Laird Tflex HD7100* should be installed on the rear side of the
M.2 SSD.
Before following steps in this section, remove the riser assembly that the M.2 SSD is attached to (see Section
7.5).
