Use this information to remove the solid state drive cage
and backplane.
Before you begin
Before you remove the solid state drive cage and backplane,
complete the following steps:
- Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
- If the compute node is installed in an Flex System chassis,
remove it (see Removing a compute node from a chassis for
instructions).
- Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface,
orienting the compute node with the bezel pointing toward you.
About this task
The solid state drive cage and backplane are available in
the optional Flex System flash kit.
Procedure

complete the following steps.
-
Remove the cover (see Removing the compute node cover).
-
Remove the solid state drive bezel.
-
Remove the solid state drives (see Removing a solid state drive).
-
Pull the solid state drive backplane from the cage.
-
Remove the solid state drive mounting sleeve (see Removing the solid state drive mounting sleeve).
-
Lift up on the rear of the cage to disconnect it from the
connector on the system board.
-
Remove the cage from the compute node at an angle.
What to do next
If you are instructed to return the solid state drive cage
