Removing NVMe PCIe SSD from system

If you are removing an NVMe PCIe SSD from a system that is turned on, proceed to step 1. If not, skip to step 2.
  • CAUTION: To prevent data loss, it is mandatory that you prepare the NVMe PCIe SSD for removal before physically removing the NVMe PCIe SSD.
  1. Use the Prepare to Remove task in OpenManage Server Administrator to safely remove an NVMe PCIe SSD from the system. See Preparing to remove an NVMe PCIe SSD . This task causes the status LED on the NVMe PCIe SSD to blink.
    • CAUTION: The NVMe PCIe SSD LED blinks in a pattern that indicates that the device is preparing for removal. When you initiate a prepare to remove operation, ensure that your NVMe PCIe SSD is no longer accessible by the system before you physically remove the NVMe PCIe SSD.
    You can safely remove the NVMe PCIe SSD from the system under the following conditions after you use the Prepare to Remove task:
    • The NVMe PCIe SSD LED blinks in a pattern that indicates that the device is preparing for removal. For more information, see NVMe PCIe SSD Carrier LED indicators .
    • The NVMe PCIe SSD is no longer accessible by the operating system.
  2. Press the release button and open the NVMe PCIe SSD carrier release handle to release the NVMe PCIe SSD.
  3. Slide the NVMe PCIe SSD out of the slot.
    • NOTE: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty NVMe PCIe SSD bays must have device blanks installed. For instructions on how to install an NVMe PCIe SSD blank, see the system-specific Owner's Manual at Dell.com/support/manuals.
