Prerequisites
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform
troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or
telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by
your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
CAUTION: Removing the storage sled from the enclosure when the storage sled is powered on results in loss of
data.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the storage sled locks, use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to turn the sled locks to
lock or unlock positions.
1. Ensure that you read the Safety instructions on page 33.
2. Turn off the compute sled(s) to which the storage sled is mapped, by using the CMC, iDRAC, or the sled power button.
3. Keep the Phillips #2 screwdriver ready.
Steps
1. Using a Phillips #2 screwdriver, turn the storage sled locks on the sled front panel to unlock position.
CAUTION:
If you are permanently removing the sled, install a sled blank. Operating the enclosure for
extended periods of time without a sled blank installed can cause the enclosure to overheat.
2. Lift the sled release latches upward by 90 degrees, and holding it by the latches, pull the sled out of the enclosure.
CAUTION:
To protect the I/O connector pins, install the I/O connector cover every time a sled is removed
from the enclosure.
3. Install the I/O connector cover over the I/O connectors.
