Remove a Flash Riser Board

The server can contain up to two hot-pluggable flash riser boards. Each flash riser board can contain either one or two M.2 flash SSDs.

  1. Prepare the server for service.
    1. Extend the server into maintenance position.
    2. Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist, and then to a metal area on the chassis.
    3. Remove the server top cover.
  2. To remove the flash riser board, do the following:
    1. Rotate both riser board socket levers outward as far as they go.

      Note:

      The green Power LED indicator located on the riser board is extinguished when you open the socket levers.
    2. Carefully lift the riser board straight up to remove it from the sockets.

      Place the riser board on an antistatic mat. If required, perform the procedures for removing the M.2 flash SSD from the flash riser board. See Identify and Remove an M.2 Flash SSD.
