Replace An Existing NVMe Storage Drive (CRU)
Replace an Oracle 3.2 TB NVMe SSD if the drive fails or the usable drive life has been
exceeded.
Caution -
Possible component damage. Different server platforms place NVMe-capable
bays in different locations. To identify a server’s NVMe-capable bay, observe that the orange
silk screen on the server is labeled NVMe # before inserting an NVMe storage drive into a
server NVMe-capable slot. Your server chassis must contain an NVMe capable configuration
including Oracle NVMe Switch Controller Cards and cables.
Caution -
Possible component damage. Circuit boards and drives contain electronic
components that are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Ordinary amounts of static
electricity from clothing or the work environment can destroy the components located on these
boards. Do not touch the components along their connector edges. These procedures require
that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. This sensitivity can
cause the components to fail. To avoid damage, ensure that you follow anti-static practices as
described in “ESD Safety Measures” on page 26 .
The following task provides an example procedure. Follow the servers service manual
instructions.
1.
Prepare the server operating system, as required, before you remove drives.
Follow the servers service manual instructions for orderly shutdown during NVMe storage
drive insertion and removal service actions.
