Removing Nodes from the Chassis
Each of the four individual motherboard nodes may be removed from the chassis. Note that
any time a node is removed from the chassis, the hard drives located in the node will shut-
down.
Removing a Motherboard Node

described on the previous page.
2. Grasp the node by the handles on either side of the front of the node.
3. Carefully pull the node forward and out of the chassis.
Removing the Node Cover
Each node has a removable cover which will permit access to the nodes components.
Removing the Node Cover
1. Remove the power cord from the rear of the node as described in Section 6-3 and
remove the node from the chassis as described in Section 6-4. Place the node on a flat,
stable surface.
