Prerequisites

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
  1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.

  2. Turn off the sled and wait until the SSD indicator LEDs on the carrier are off, and then remove the SSD.

    NOTE: When all indicators are off, the drive is ready for removal.
