Removing and Installing Motherboard Nodes
The system features twelve removable nodes. Each node contains an individual motherboard
and hard drive mounted on a sled, which allows it to be easily installed and removed from
the chassis.

Removing Nodes from the System
1. Power-down the individual node by pressing the node's power button.
2. Press and hold down the release tab on the front of the node.
3. Use the node's handle to pull the node from the system.
Caution:
Except for short periods of time while swapping nodes, do not operate the server
with the node bays empty. In the unlikely event of a node failure, remove the failed node and
replace it with the dummy node that was included with the system.
