Installing And Removing A Server Module
NOTE: Server modules that are specifically configured for the PowerEdge VRTX enclosure, can be identified by a
label marked PCIe on the server module.
NOTE: Ensure that you have downloaded the latest BIOS on the server module(s) from dell.com/support.
Removing A Server Module
1. Remove the front bezel.
2. Power down the server module using the operating system commands or the CMC, and ensure that the server
module's power is off.
When a server module is powered off, its front-panel power indicator is off.
3. Press the release button on the server module handle.
4. Pull out the server module handle to unlock the server module from the enclosure.
CAUTION: If you are permanently removing the server module, install a server module blank(s). Operating the
system for extended periods of time without a server module blank installed can cause the enclosure to
overheat.
5. Slide the server module out of the enclosure.
CAUTION: To protect the I/O connector pins, install the I/O connector covers any time a server module is
removed from the enclosure.
6. Install the I/O connector cover over the I/O connector.
