• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap
• Replacement Solid State Drive
• #2 Phillips-head screwdriver
• Torque driver with #2 Phillips bit.

Replacing the Solid State Drive

Perform the following procedure to replace the Solid State Drive:

1. If the application is running, gracefully shut down the application.
2. Remove power from the chassis.
3. Attach an Electrostatic Discharge wrist strap to the ESD grounding point on the rear panel of the chassis, and place the other end around your wrist (see Connecting ESD Wrist Strap for details).

4. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the 2 captive screws (a spring-loaded screw that does not detach from the device) securing the tray of the SSD being replaced as shown below.
