Internal Cisco USB Flash Drive Replacement Procedure
To install or replace an internal Cisco USB Flash Drive, follow these steps:
Step 1 Remove the USB flash drive that you are replacing. See Figure 3-23:
a. Power off the server as described in the “Shutting Down and Powering Off the Server” section on
page 3-6.
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.
Caution If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the rack.
c. Remove the top cover as described in “Removing and Replacing the Server Top Cover” section on
page 3-7.
d. Remove PCIe riser 1 to provide access to the USB flash drive socket that is on the motherboard (see
Figure 3-23). See Replacing a PCIe Riser, page 3-32 for more information.
e. Pull the USB flash drive from the socket.
Step 2 Install a USB flash drive:
a. Insert the USB flash drive into the socket.
b. Replace PCIe riser 1 to the server. See Replacing a PCIe Riser, page 3-32 for more information.
