3.2 Chassis Components
The chassis includes power supplies, fans and eight nodes. Each node is a separate system
containing a drawer with a serverboard and other components. Each node may be removed
from the chassis separately.
Installing and Removing the Node Drawers
The F418IF3 chassis contains eight individual motherboards in separate node drawers (Figure
3-1). Each motherboard node controls a set of two internal fixed hard drives. Note that if a
motherboard node drawer is pulled out of the chassis, the hard drives associated with that
node will power down as well.
