Opening the Node Cover

To open the DXi4700 Node cover:

 1.  Set the Node on a flat, stable surface.

 2.  Make sure that no cables (power, Ethernet, Fibre Channel, or SAS) are connected to the Node.

 3.  Press and hold the power button on the front of the Node for three seconds to fully drain the system of 

stored power prior to removing the cover (see 

Figure 66 below

).
