Removing the Compute Node
The compute node must be removed before servicing any component except the drive carrier and SSD in
order to give access to that component.
When removing a compute node, make note of the node bay number. Some configuration information and
update options are established according to node bay number. One way to track the node is via the serial
number. The serial number is located on the pullout tab for the each node.
Note: Reinstalling a compute node into a node bay other than from which it was removed can have
unintended consequences, including requiring the compute node to be reconfigured.
To remove the compute node, follow these steps:
1.
Turn off the compute node to be serviced.
Figure 12. Removing the compute node
2.
Release and rotate the locking lever to the left.
3.
Slide the node out about 12 inches/300 mm; then grip the node with both hands and remove it from
the system chassis.
4.
Install either a node bay filler or another compute node in the node bay within 1 minute to ensure the
integrity of system cooling.
Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the system without a compute node or node
bay filler installed in each node bay.
