modules in the same bays you removed them from. If drive sleds are mixed
between nodes, even prior to configuration, the system will be inoperable.
If all compute nodes and drive sleds are already installed in the chassis, you can skip
this section.
Procedure
1. At the back of the chassis, locate the empty node bay where you will install the
node.
2. Pull the release lever away from the node.
Keep the lever in the open position until the node is pushed all the way in to the
node bay.
3. Slide the node into the node bay.
Note:
Support the compute node with both hands until it is fully inserted in
the drive bay.
4. Push the release lever in against the node back panel.
You can feel the lever pull the node into place in the bay. If you do not feel the
lever pull the node into the bay, pull the lever back into the open position, make
sure that the node is pushed all the way into the node bay, then push the lever
in against the node again.
5. Tighten the thumbscrew on the release lever to secure the lever in place.
6. At the front of the chassis, locate the empty drive sled bays where you will
install the drive sleds that correspond to the compute module you just installed.
7. Make sure the drive sled handle is open before inserting the drive sled.
8. With two hands, slide the a drive sled into the sled bay.
9. Push the drive sled handle back into the face of the sled to secure the drive sled
in the bay.
