3.6 Chassis Components

SSD Storage Modules

The CSE-MG102TS chassis supports up to two E1.S NVMe SSD drives using mounting trays
or carriers. Note: Enterprise-level storage drives are recommended for use in Supermicro
servers. For information on recommended drives, visit the Supermicro website.

Carrier

The storage drives are mounted in carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the
chassis. The ARS-111GL-NHR supports two E1.S NVMe drives in the locations shown below.
In the event that a driver needs to be removed from the chassis, please follow the instructions
below.
Removing Drives from the Chassis
1. Lift up on the bottom of the drive module that you want to remove.
2. Pull the carrier out of the chassis.

Removing the I/O and PCIe/GPU Modules

The CSE-MG102TS chassis provides one PCIe/GPU bay and an I/O module. The PCIe/GPU
bay has a pull-out module where two GPU cards may be installed. Removal of the pull-out
module is shown below. The I/O module is where the communication ports are located. Unless
this module needs to be serviced, it is seldom removed and is shown here for information
purposes.
Installing an Expansion Card
1. Power down the system and remove the top cover as described in Section 3.2.
2. Remove all cables connected to the PCIe/GPU bay, then pull the bay out.
3. On the back of the chassis, pull the module towards the rear, there are no screws to
remove.
4. Unscrew and remove the PCIe slot cover from the module.
5. Secure the PCIe/GPU card and bracket into the module's PCIe slot using the screw
previously set aside.
6. Replace the PCIe/GPU assembly back into the chassis.
7. Replace the top covers and power up the system.
