- Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface,
orienting the compute node with the bezel pointing toward you.
Procedure
To remove the hard disk drive cage and backplane assembly,
complete the following steps.
-
Remove the cover (see Removing the compute node cover).
-
Remove the hot-swap hard disk drives and hard disk drive
bay fillers (see Removing a hot-swap hard disk drive).
-
Lift up on the rear of the assembly to disconnect it from
the connector on the system board.
-
Remove the assembly from the compute node at an angle.
What to do next
If you are instructed to return the hard disk drive cage
