Prerequisite

- Minimum required privileges: Infrastructure administrator or Server administrator

- For server hardware with a server profile applied, perform one of the following tasks:

  - Move the server profile to another server

  - Edit the server profile to remove the association to the removed device

  - Delete the server profile if it is no longer needed

| NOTE: If you do not remove the server profile association before removing the server, the status of the server profile on the Server Profiles screen changes to `critical` and the status of all connections is `disabled`.

Removing a server from an existing enclosure

1. Remove a server by physically removing it from an enclosure.

2. Verify that the server is removed from the HPE OneView database. Choose one of the following methods:

   Enclosures screen

   - The bay is marked `empty`.

   Server Hardware screen

   - When you remove a server from an enclosure, the status icon for the server hardware on the Server Hardware screen is `In progress` until the server is deleted from the database. The data from the removed server no longer displays.

     | NOTE: If you select Actions→Remove from the Server Hardware screen, you receive a message with instructions for removing the entire enclosure from management.
