How to Remove a RAID Expansion Module

An animation of the procedure to remove a REM is available. See animation showing REM removal.


Note - The RAID expansion module (REM) is supported only in CMOD 0 (BL 0).


Before You Begin

RAID Expansion Module Overview

  1. Prepare the server for service. See How to Prepare for Service.
  2. Remove the CMOD from the server. See How to Remove a CPU Module (CMOD).
  3. Set the CMOD on a flat antistatic surface with ample surrounding space and light.
  4. Remove the CMOD cover. See How to Remove the CPU Module (CMOD) Cover.
  5. Lift the REM ejector handle and rotate it to its fully open position.

    This action ejects the REM from its connector on the motherboard.
