Removing the SSD

The procedure in this section describes how to remove the SSD from the Acme Packet 6300/6350.

Prerequisites:

  • Place the SSD in an ESD-safe location.
  • Wear an ESD wrist strap or take similar equivalent actions to prevent static damage to the SSD or other ESD-sensitive components.

    To remove an SSD:

  1. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two captive screws located on each side of the face of the SSD. The screws are spring-loaded and will push forward, but they will not fall out of the door.
