Removing an EDSFF E3.S Gen5 NVMe drive carrier

Prerequisites

  1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.
  2. Using the management software, prepare the drive for removal. If the drive is online, the green activity or fault indicator flashes while the drive is turning off. When the drive indicators are off, the drive is ready for removal. For more information, see the storage controller documentation.
    CAUTION:Before attempting to remove or install a drive while the system is running, see the documentation for the storage controller card to ensure that the host adapter is configured correctly to support drive removal and insertion.
    CAUTION:To prevent data loss, ensure that your operating system supports drive installation. See the documentation supplied with your operating system.

Steps

  1. Slide the release button to open the drive carrier release handle.
  2. Holding the drive carrier release handle, slide the drive carrier out of the drive slot.
    NOTE:If you are not replacing the drive immediately, install an EDSFF E3.S Gen5 NVMe drive blank in the empty drive slot to maintain proper system cooling.
