Installing a management node in a chassis

Use this information to install a management node in a Flex System Enterprise Chassis.

Before you begin

Before you install the management node in a chassis, read Safety and Installation guidelines.

Statement 21

CAUTION:

Hazardous energy is present when the node is connected to the power source. Always replace the node cover before installing the compute node.

To install the management node in a chassis, complete the following steps.

1. Select the node bay.
   Notes:

   1. If you are reinstalling a management node that you removed, you must install it in the same node bay from which you removed it. Reinstalling a management node into a different node bay can have unintended consequences. If you reinstall the management node into a different node bay, you might have to reconfigure the management node.
   2. To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the Flex System Enterprise Chassis without a management node, I/O expansion unit, or node bay filler in each node bay.
2. Make sure that the front handle on the management node is in the open position.
3. Slide the management node into the node bay until it stops.
4. Push the front handle on the front of the management node to the closed position.
   Note: After the management node is installed, the IMM2 in the management node initializes and synchronizes with the chassis management module. This process takes approximately 90 seconds to complete. The power LED flashes rapidly, and the power button on the management node does not respond until this process is complete.
5. Turn on the management node (see Turning on the management node for instructions).
6. Make sure that the power LED on the management node control panel is lit continuously, indicating that the management node is receiving power and is turned on.
7. You can place identifying information on the label tabs that are accessible from the front of the compute node.
