Use these instructions to install the storage expansion node assembly in an Flex System Enterprise Chassis.
Before you install the storage expansion node assembly
in an Flex System Enterprise Chassis,
complete the following steps:
- Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
- Make sure that the integrated management module II (IMM2) primary
and backup firmware in the compute node is at level ibm_fw_imm2_1aoo34x-1.xx_anyos_noarch
or later.Attention: If you attempt to operate the storage expansion node with a compute node that has IMM2 firmware an earlier level, the firmware in the storage expansion node will become corrupted and unrecoverable, and you will have to replace the storage expansion node.
- Remove the 1-bay shelf from the Flex System Enterprise Chassis bays where you will install the storage expansion node assembly.

CAUTION:
Use safe practices when lifting.
To install the storage expansion node assembly, complete the following steps.
Attention: Make sure that the drive drawer is closed and latched. Do not attempt to install the storage expansion node assembly in the chassis while the drive drawer is open.
- Open the cam handles on the compute node and the storage expansion node.
- Orient the storage expansion node assembly with the storage expansion node and compute node bezels facing you.
- Place the storage expansion node assembly onto the shelf supports in the chassis bays; then, slide the assembly all the way into the bays.
- Close the cam handles on the compute node and the storage expansion node to latch the assembly in place.
If you have changed the configuration of the compute node or if you are installing a different compute node from the one that you removed, you must configure the compute node through the Setup utility, and you might have to install the compute node operating system. See Updating the compute node configuration for more information.
