Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation
3.2 Servicing the System
Common maintenance tasks, such are replacing fans, power supply modules, or accessing
the nodes, can be accomplished while the system is in the rack. Keep the system secure
in the rack with the thumbscrews, because there are no locking latches in the rail system.
Connecting to a Node
USB, COM, and serial port capabilities can be added to any node through the KVM port on
the front. Plug in the adapter (dongle).
