Remove an NVMe Storage Drive
After you unmount the NVMe storage drive, the steps to physically remove the dirve
are the same as the steps to remove a SAS storage dirve. For detailed instructions,
see Remove a SAS Drive.
-
Unmount the storage drive depending on the OS.
Use one of these methods:
-
Identify the physical location of the NVMe drive that you want to
remove.
For storage drive locations, see Component Locations (Storage, Power, and Fan Modules).
-
Verify that the OK to Remove indicator (LED) on the NVMe storage drive is
lit.
-
Push the latch release button to open the drive latch.
-
Grasp the latch, and pull the drive out of the drive slot.
-
Consider your next step:
-
If you are replacing the drive, use one of these methods to verify the
removal.
-
If you are not replacing the drive, install a filler panel in the
empty drive slot to maintain proper airflow, and perform administrative
tasks to configure the server to operate without the drive.
