Which tool is needed when servicing a UCS M5 server?

A PCIe slot cover is a physical filler component that occupies empty expansion slots, not a servicing tool required by the hardware installation guide.

The Cisco UCS M5 server hardware installation guide explicitly lists a T-30 Torx driver as a required tool for removing and installing components such as PCIe riser assemblies and other secured parts inside the chassis. Torx fasteners are used throughout the M5 server design to retain internal components during operation. Without a T-30 Torx driver, key components cannot be properly accessed or reinstalled to specification.

An 'M5 DIMM puller' is not an officially listed or required tool in Cisco's UCS M5 hardware documentation; standard DIMM installation and removal is performed by hand.

An HDD removal tool is not listed as a separately required specialized tool for standard UCS M5 server servicing procedures in Cisco's official documentation.
