Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

6-7

6-5 Node 

Installation/Removal

As with any server system, power must be removed from the serverboard 

when upgrading or installing memory or processors. In the 2U Twin

2

 server, the 

serverboards (nodes) are capable of being hot-swapped from the chassis, allowing 

one to be powered down for servicing while the others continue operating.

Important! Removing a node from the server affects the airfl ow 

throughout the system. For this reason, nodes should be removed, 

serviced and replaced as quickly as possible. Also note that powering 

down a node will power down all the hard drives that are logically 

associated with it.

!

Removing a Node

Depress the power button on the control panel to power down the node.

1. 

There are two latches located below the handles at the rear of the node tray. 

2. 

Push both of these inward.

While pushing the latches inward, grasp both handles and pull the node from 

3. 

the chassis.

Perform any service needed to the node in a timely manner.

4. 

Reinstall the node by pushing it into its bay until fi rmly seated.
