Surface Hub v1 SSD replacement

You might need to remove the solid state drive (SSD) from your Surface Hub so that you can reimage it using the Surface Hub Recovery Tool or because you've been sent a replacement drive. You would reimage your SSD when the operating system is no longer bootable, such as from a Windows update failure, BitLocker issues, reset failure, or hardware failure.

Warning

Make sure the Surface Hub is turned off at the AC switch.

  1. Locate the SSD compartment door on the rear, upper portion of the Surface Hub in the locations illustrated below. The door is identifiable as it doesn't have open ventilation slots.
