When you install your new compute node, take
the opportunity to download and apply the most recent firmware updates.
This step will help to ensure that any known issues are addressed
and that your compute node is
ready to function at maximum levels of performance.
Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place
removed covers and other parts in a safe place.
Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
Before you remove a compute node from
the chassis, you must shut down the operating system and turn off
the compute node.
You do not have to shut down the chassis itself.
Blue or terra cotta on a component indicates touch points, where
you can grip the component to remove it from or install it in the compute node, open
or close a latch, and so on.
Returning a device or component
If you are instructed to return a device or component, follow all packaging instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
