Installing the PCIe Expansion Node with compute node host

Use these instructions to install a PCIe Expansion Node with a compute node host in an Flex System Enterprise Chassis.

Before installing a PCIe Expansion Node with compute node host in an Flex System Enterprise Chassis, complete the following steps:

1. Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
2. Remove the 1-bay shelf from the Flex System Enterprise Chassis bays where the PCIe Expansion Node will be installed (see Removing a 1-bay shelf for instructions).

Statement 4

≥ 18 kg (39.7 lb)	≥ 32 kg (70.5 lb)	≥ 55 kg (121.2 lb)

CAUTION:

Use safe practices when lifting.

To install a PCIe Expansion Node with compute node host, complete the following steps:

1. Place the handles on the compute node and the PCIe Expansion Node in the open position.
2. Orient the 2-bay shelf assembly containing the compute node and the PCIe Expansion Node with the front of the assembly pointing toward you.
   
   
   
3. Place the 2-bay shelf assembly onto the shelf supports in the chassis bays; then, slide the shelf assembly all the way into bays.
4. Close the handles on the compute node and the PCIe Expansion Node to latch the assembly in place.
