Servicing an Internal USB Flash Drive (CRU)
This section describes how to service a USB flash drive. The USB flash drive is a customer-
replaceable unit (CRU) that requires 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 static
discharge. This sensitivity can cause the component to fail. To avoid damage, ensure that you
follow antistatic practices as described in “Electrostatic Discharge Safety” on page 50.
Caution - Ensure that all power is removed from the server before removing or installing a
flash drive or damage to the drive might occur. You must disconnect all power cables from the
system before performing these procedures.
