Recycling the PCB Assembly (PCBA)
Each compute node has a PCBA that is connected to the compute node's faceplate and sheet metal tray. You
must disconnect the PCBA from the faceplate and tray to recycle the PCBA. Each compute node is attached
to the sheet metal tray be the following:
• Four M3 screws
• Two hexagonal standoffs.
For this procedure you will need the following tools:
• Screwdrivers: #2 Phillips, one 6mm slotted, one T8, T10, and T30.
• Nut driver: One 6mm hex
You will need to recycle the PCBA for each compute node.
Before you begin
For Recyclers Only!
This procedure is not a standard field-service option. This procedure is for recyclers
who will be reclaiming the electronics for proper disposal to comply with local eco design and e-waste
regulations.
Note
To remove the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), the following requirements must be met:
• The compute node must be disconnected from facility power.
• The compute node must be removed from the equipment rack.
• The compute node's top cover must be removed. See
Removing and Installing the Compute Node Cover,
Step 1
(Optional) If the CPUs and heat sinks are still installed, remove them:
a) Using a T30 Torx screwdriver, loosen the eight captive screws.
