Servicing the Internal M.2 Flash SSDs (CRU)
This section describes how to service M.2 flash solid-state drives (SSDs). M.2 flash SSDs
are customer-replaceable units (CRUs) that require you to power off the server. For more
information about CRUs, see “Illustrated Parts Breakdown” on page 19 and “Customer-
Replaceable Units” on page 21.
Caution - These procedures require that you handle components that are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge. This sensitivity can cause the component to fail. To avoid
damage, ensure that you follow antistatic practices as described in “Take Antistatic
Measures” on page 61.
Caution - Ensure that all power is removed from the server before removing or installing
PCIe cards. You must disconnect all power cables from the system before performing these
procedures.
