Removal Instructions

 

Recommended Tools

1 Phillips screwdriver with shaft length × 20cm (+2×200)
2/3 2.0/2.5mm Plus Driver
 
Note: Be aware that using a large Phillips or Flat Head screwdriver may result in damage to the head of the screws. This would make their removal impossible without specialty tools, that are not available to our onsite engineers.

 

The following parts will be required to replace SATA/SAS with PCIe SSD.

  1. [575-BBSH] - M.2 Module for FlexBay incl. carrier 58/78/7920 Towers (Kit)
