• Depending on the specific type, the PCI Express solid-state drive might look different from the illustrations
in this topic.
To replace the PCI Express solid-state drive, do the following:
1. Remove all media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the server. Then, disconnect all
power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the server.
2. If the server is installed in a rack cabinet, remove the server from the rack cabinet and place it on a flat,
clean, and static-protective surface. See the Rack Installation Instructions that comes with the server.
3. Remove the server cover. See “Removing the server cover” on page 75.
4. Remove the cooling shroud. See “Removing the cooling shroud” on page 79.
5. Remove the riser card assembly 1 and lay it upside down on a flat, clean, and static-protective surface.
See “Replacing the riser card assembly 1” on page 160.
6. Grasp the PCI Express solid-state drive by its edges and carefully pull it out of the slot on the riser
card assembly 1.
Note: The PCI Express solid-state drive might fit tightly into the slot. If necessary, alternate moving
each side of the PCI Express solid-state drive a small and equal amount until it is completely removed
from the slot.
