Server node orientation
The server node cover facilitates smooth node entry and ejection from the bay. When installing the server into the bay,
observe the correct node orientation.
• Left side—The node cover must be facing down with the release lever on the top side of the bay.
• Right side—The node cover must be facing up with the release lever on the bottom side of the bay.
The following image is shown from the perspective of a user facing the chassis rear panel. The release lever is shown in
amber color.
