Installing the M.2 storage module
Attention: Do not open your server or attempt any repair before reading and understanding “Read this first: safety
information” on page iii and “Guidelines” on page 69.
Before you begin, print all the related instructions or ensure that you can view the PDF version on another
computer for reference.
Note: Use any documentation that comes with the M.2 storage module and follow those instructions in
addition to the instructions in this topic.
To install the M.2 storage module, do the following:
1. Remove all external media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the server. Then,
disconnect all power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to
the server.
2. If the server is installed in a rack cabinet, remove the server from the rack cabinet and place it on a flat,
clean, and static-protective surface. See the Rack Installation Instructions that comes with the server. If
the server is in tower form factor, lay the server on its side for easier operation.
3. Remove the server cover. See “Removing the server cover” on page 72.
4. Remove the cooling shroud. See “Removing the cooling shroud” on page 75.
5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the M.2 storage module to any unpainted surface on
the outside of the server. Then, take the M.2 storage module out of the package.
Note: Carefully handle the M.2 storage module by its edges.
6. Insert the M.2 storage drive into the drive slot on the M.2 storage module. Then, install the screw to
secure the M.2 storage drive.
