Replacing a Micro SD Card
Caution
To avoid data loss, we do not recommend that you hot-swap the Micro SD card while it is operating, as
indicated by its activity LED turning amber. The activity LED turns amber when the Micro SD card is updating
or deleting.
Step 1 Remove an existing Micro SD card:
a) Shut down and remove power from the server as described in
on page 29.
b) 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
c) Remove the top cover from the server as described in
d) Locate the Micro SD card. The socket is on the top of PCIe riser 1, under a flexible plastic cover.
e) Use your fingertip to push open the retainer on the socket cover far enough to provide access to the Micro SD card,
then push down and release the Micro SD card to make it spring up.
f) Grasp the Micro SD card and lift it from the socket.
Step 2 Install a new Micro SD card:
a) While holding the retainer on the plastic cover open with your fingertip, align the new Micro SD card with the socket.
b) Gently push down on the card until it clicks and locks in place in the socket.
c) Replace the top cover to the server.
d) Replace the server in the rack, replace cables, and then fully power on the server by pressing the Power button.
