Use this information to remove an optional solid state drive mounting sleeve. A solid state drive mounting sleeve can be installed in the upper and lower compute nodes. The solid state drive mounting sleeve is required to install optional 1.8-inch hot-swap solid-state drives (SSDs).
Before you remove a solid state drive mounting sleeve, complete the following steps:
- Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
- If the Flex System x222 Compute Node is installed in a 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 the left.
To remove a solid state drive mounting sleeve, complete the following steps.
- Remove the upper compute node (see Removing the upper compute node).
- Locate the solid state drive mounting sleeve on the upper or lower compute node.
- Remove any SSD disk drives (see Removing a solid state drive).
- Press the release tabs at the rear of the solid state drive mounting sleeve.
- Slide the solid state drive mounting sleeve froward, away from the compute node, and remove it from the bay.
If you are instructed to return a solid state drive mounting
sleeve, follow all packaging instructions, and use any packaging materials
for shipping that are supplied to you.
