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.
To download
the latest firmware and device drivers, go to the Fix Central website and select Flex System x220 Compute Node.
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 hard disk
drives.
Before you remove a compute node from the Flex System 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 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.
