Replacing a Mini-Storage Module Carrier
This topic describes how to remove and replace a mini-storage module carrier. The carrier has one media
socket on its top and one socket on its underside. Use the following procedure for any type of mini-storage
module carrier (SD card or M.2 SSD).
Step 1
Shut down and remove power from the server as described in Shutting Down and Removing Power From the Server,
on page 39.
Step 2
Slide the server out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might have to detach
cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.
If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the
rack.
Caution
Step 3
Remove the top cover from the server as described in Removing the Server Top Cover, on page 41.
Step 4
Remove a carrier from its socket:
a) Locate the mini-storage module carrier in its socket just in front of power supply 1.
b) Push outward on the securing clips that holds each end of the carrier.
c) Lift both ends of the carrier to disengage it from the socket on the motherboard.
d) Set the carrier on an anti-static surface.
Step 5
Install a carrier to its socket:
a) Position carrier over socket, with the carrier's connector facing down. Two alignment pegs must match with two
holes on the carrier.
b) Gently push down the socket end of the carrier so that the two pegs go through the two holes on the carrier.
