Lay the compute module on a flat and level surface. Remove the access panel. Remove the front panel/drive cage assembly.
11. Repeat the SSD flash drive removal procedure for the second drive, as applicable. To replace the SSD flash drive or SSD adapter board, reverse the removal the procedure. Removing and replacing a compute module end cap Procedure 1. After powering down and removing the compute module from the frame, place the compute module on a flat, level work surface.
Removing and replacing the front panel/drive cage assembly Procedure 1. Power down the compute module. 2. Remove the compute module. 3. Place the compute module on a flat, level work surface. 4. Remove the access panel. 5. Remove all drives. 6.
NOTE: If you are installing a Type C mezzanine option card into mezzanine slot 2 of the compute module and the heatsink has an airflow baffle installed on it, then remove it. If the heatsink does not have an airflow baffle, then mezzanine 2 cannot be used.
4. Remove the access panel. 5. Remove the heatsink blank. Retain the heatsink blank for future use. To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure. Removing and replacing DIMM baffles Procedure 1. Power down the compute module. 2. Remove the compute module. 3.
DIMM baffle. See "DIMM slot locations" to identify DIMMs installed in the compute module. 6. Remove the DIMM. To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure. Use HPE UEFI System Utilities to configure the memory mode. CAUTION: •...
Removing and replacing an NVDIMM CAUTION: Do not remove an NVDIMM when any LEDs on any NVDIMM in the system are illuminated. Removing an NVDIMM when an LED is illuminated might cause a loss of data.
