When you replace a component, examine the slot and connector for damages. Make sure the pins
are not damaged (bent for example) and do not contain any foreign objects.
Identify the position of the drive to be replaced.
Identify the RAID array information of the drive to be replaced. To replace a drive in a
non-redundancy RAID array, back up data in the RAID array if the old drive is full or the new drive is
of a different model.
Removing an NVMe drive
1.
Identify whether the operating system of the server supports hot removal and managed hot
removal of NVMe drives.
If the operating system supports hot removal or managed hot removal, identify the NVMe
drive to be removed, and then perform managed hot removal for the drive. For more
information, see "Appendix C Hot swapping and managed hot removal of NVMe drives."
If the operating system does not support hot removal or managed hot removal, power off the
server. For more information, see "
2.
Remove the drive. Press the button on the drive panel to release the locking lever, and then
hold the locking lever and pull the drive out of the slot.
3.
Remove the drive carrier. Remove the screws that secure the drive and then remove the drive

Installing an NVMe drive
1.
Attach the drive to the drive carrier. Place the drive in the carrier and then use four screws to
secure the drive into place.
2.
Insert the drive into the slot and push it gently until you cannot push it further, and then close the
locking lever.
Verifying the replacement
Use the following methods to verify that the drive is installed correctly:
•
Verify the drive properties (including capacity) by using one of the following methods:
Access HDM. For more information, see HDM online help.
Access the BIOS. For more information, see the BIOS user guide for the server.
Access the CLI or GUI of the server.
•
Observe the drive LEDs to verify that the drive is operating correctly. For more information, see
"Drive LEDs."
