Install an NVMe Storage Drive

Perform this procedure to physically install an NVMe storage drive into the server.

Note:

After you physically remove an NVMe drive from the server, wait at least 10 seconds before installing a replacement drive.
  1. Remove the replacement drive from its packaging and place the drive on an antistatic mat.
  2. If necessary, remove the drive filler panel.
  3. Align the replacement drive with the drive slot.

    The drive is physically addressed according to the slot in which it is installed. It is important to install a replacement drive in the same slot as the drive that was removed.

  4. Slide the drive into the slot until the drive is fully seated.
  5. Close the drive latch to lock the drive in place.
