Step 3
Remove the TPM module and dispose of it properly.
What to do next
Remove and dispose of the PCB Assembly. See

Mini Storage Module
The compute node has a mini-storage module option that plugs into a motherboard socket to provide additional
internal storage. The mini-storage module is an M.2 SSD module that supports up to two SATA M.2 SSDs.
Replacing an M.2 SSD Card
M.2 SSD cards are installed as a pair on the top and bottom of the M.2 module carrier.
There are some specific rules for populating mini-storage M.2 SSD cards:
• You can use one or two M.2 SSDs in the carrier.
• M.2 socket 1 is on the top side of the carrier; M.2 socket 2 is on the underside of the carrier (the same
side as the carrier's connector to the board socket on the compute node).
• Dual SATA M.2 SSDs can be configured in a RAID 1 array through the BIOS Setup Utility's embedded
SATA RAID interface, and configured through IMM..
The M.2 SSDs are managed by the MSTOR-RAID controller.
Note
The embedded SATA RAID controller requires that the compute node is set to
boot in UEFI mode rather than Legacy mode.
Note
Removing an M.2 SSD
Each M.2 card plugs into a socket on the carrier. One socket is on the top of the carrier, and one socket is on
the bottom.
Use the following procedure for any type of mini-storage module carrier.
Remove the carrier from the compute node:
a) Press out on the securing clips to disengage the module from the socket on the compute node's motherboard.
b) Pull straight up on the storage module to remove it.
