TL;DR

Power down the Dell Pro Micro Plus QBM1250 and disconnect all peripherals before beginning any internal component work to avoid damage or injury.
Remove the side cover by loosening its screws, then identify the 2230 SSD, remove its retaining screw, lift it out, and unlatch it from the carrier assembly.
Reinstallation is the reverse process: re-latch the drive to the assembly, seat it, tighten the screw, and replace the side cover securely.

Summary

This official Dell Technologies tutorial demonstrates how to remove and reinstall a 2230 form-factor solid state drive in the Dell Pro Micro Plus QBM1250 desktop in a dual SSD configuration. The process begins with essential safety precautions: reviewing the Owner's Manual, powering down the system, and disconnecting all peripherals before touching any internal components. The physical procedure covers loosening the side cover screws, lifting the cover away, identifying the target SSD, removing the retaining screw, lifting the drive out, and unlatching it from its carrier assembly. Reinstallation follows the reverse sequence — re-latching the drive to the assembly, seating it in the system, securing the screw, and replacing the side cover. A critical operational note is highlighted at the end: the system will only power on and exit service mode when the power adapter is connected. Viewers are directed to dell.com/support for the full Owner's Manual and additional system documentation.
