Recycling the PCB Assembly (PCBA)
The PCBA is secured to the server's sheet metal. To recycle the PCBA, you will need to remove a large
assembly of components from the server, then breakdown the large assembly into its smaller sub assemblies
and components. The assemblies and sub assemblies are secured to the chassis and held together by various
screws:
• M3x0.6mm
• M3.5x0.6mm
• M4x0.7mm

For Recyclers Only!
This procedure is not a standard field-service option. This procedure is for recyclers
who will be reclaiming the electronics for proper disposal to comply with local eco design and e-waste
regulations.
Note
To remove the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), the following requirements must be met:
• The server must be disconnected from facility power.
• The server must be removed from the equipment rack.
• The server's top cover must be removed. See
