Removing a solid-state drive from the EDR1 PCIe storage enclosure
Complete the following steps to remove a solid-state drive from the EDR1 PCIe storage enclosure.
1.
Pull off the bezel (A) that covers the slot that contains the solid-state drive.
2. On the console, select the solid-state drive that you want to remove. To view the locations of the
service indicators, go to “Solid-state drive locations and service indicators for the EDR1 PCIe storage
enclosure” on page 95.
3. Press Enter.
Important: When you press Enter, after your selected time delay, the service indicator light comes on
(solid) for 18 seconds. You then have 18 seconds to unlock and remove the drive. You can set an
appropriate time delay of 01 - 19 minutes to allow adequate time to access the disk drive or
solid-state drive.
4.
When the solid-state drive identify LED turns on solid, slide the release latch (B) over gently to
unlock the drive handle. See Figure 29.
5. Grasp the handle (C) and pull the drive partially out of the slot.
6. Grasp the solid-state drive and pull it out from the slot.
7. Press Enter on the console to indicate that you have removed the solid-state drive.
If you are installing a replacement solid-state drive, proceed to the procedure for replacing the failed
solid-state drive in the EDR1 PCIe storage enclosure. For instructions, see “Replacing a solid-state drive
in the EDR1 PCIe storage enclosure” on page 65.
If you are not installing a replacement solid-state drive, install a filler in the empty slot to ensure proper
air flow for cooling. For instructions, see “Installing a disk drive filler in the 8248-L4T, 8408-E8D, or
9109-RMD” on page 76.
