• NVMe only (UCSC-C480-8NVME)
Mixing these two module types in the same chassis is not supported.
Note
Step 1
Shut down and remove power from the server as described in
Shutting Down and Removing Power From the Server,
on page 35
.
Step 2
Slide the server out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might have to detach
cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.
If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the rack.
Caution
Step 3
Remove the top cover from the server as described in
Removing the Server Top Cover, on page 37
.
Step 4
Remove all CPU modules from the chassis to provide clearance:
a) Grasp the two ejector levers on the module and pinch their latches to release the levers.
b) Rotate both levers to the outside at the same time to evenly disengage the module from the midplane connectors.
c) Pull the module straight out from the chassis and then set it on an antistatic surface.
Step 5
Remove an existing drive bay module:
a) Remove any drives from the existing module and set them aside.
b) From the top of the chassis, loosen the single captive screw that secures the module to the chassis brace.
c) Disconnect any SAS cables from the rear of the module.
d) Push the module out the front of the chassis.
e) Pull the module and its attached interposer board out the front of the chassis and then set it aside.
Step 6
Install a new drive module:
a) Insert the new module with attached interposer into the opening in the chassis front.
b) Gently slide the module into the opening, ensuring that the connector on the end of the interposer board engages
with the socket on the chassis midplane. Press until the front edges of the module align evenly with the chassis.
c) Tighten the single captive screw that secures the module to the chassis brace.
Step 7
Connect any SAS cables that you disconnected earlier to the new drive module.
Step 8
Install your drives to the bays in the module.
Step 9
Reinstall the CPU modules to the chassis:
a) With the two ejector levers open, align the new CPU module with an empty bay.
b) Push the module into the bay until it engages with the midplane connectors and is flush with the chassis front.
c) Rotate both ejector levers toward the center until they lay flat and their latches lock into the front of the module.
Step 10
Replace the top cover to the server.
Step 11
Reconnect power cords to all power supplies and then allow the server to boot to standby power mode (indicated when
the front panel Power button LED lights amber).
Step 12
Fully power on the server by pressing the Power button.
