Shutdown Procedure For Servicing A Solid State Drive
NOTE: This section applies only when the blade must be powered down to service an SSD. In many
situations, the SSD can be serviced while the blade is powered on.
If you need to power off the blade to service an SSD, wait for 30 seconds after the blade’s power
indicator turns off, before removing the SSD. Otherwise, the SSD may not be recognized after it is
reinstalled and the blade is powered on again.
