2. Remove the blade server from the BladeCenter unit (see Removing the blade server from the BladeCenter unit).
3. Remove the cover from the blade server (see Removing the blade server cover).

   Attention

   When you remove an SSD drive, use a felt-tip pen to write which SSD connector the drive was removed from on the drive label. Installing an SSD drive into a different SSD connector can damage the RAID configuration.

9. Use your fingers to lift the SSD storage tray from the blade server.
10. If you are instructed to return the storage drive, follow all packaging instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
