Installing the upper compute node - Flex System x222 Compute Node

Use this information to install the upper compute node on the lower compute node.

Before you install the upper compute node, read Safety and Installation guidelines.

Attention: You cannot insert the Flex System x222 Compute Node into the Flex System chassis until the upper compute node is installed and closed. Do not attempt to override this protection.

Statement 21

CAUTION:

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

Note:

The upper compute node acts as the cover for the Flex System x222 Compute Node. You can not install the Flex System x222 Compute Node in a chassis unless the upper compute node is installed.
Although the upper and lower compute nodes are configured and operated independently, they must be installed together as a complete Flex System x222 Compute Node unit.

To install the upper compute node, complete the following steps:

Carefully lay the lower compute node on a flat, static-protective surface, orienting the compute node with the bezel pointing toward you.
Orient the upper compute node so that it is nearly vertical (between 70-degrees and 80-degrees from horizontal) with the slots on the front edge of the upper compute node slid onto the pins on the lower compute node.
Note: Before you close the upper compute node, make sure that the air baffles and all components are installed and seated correctly and that you have not left loose tools or parts inside the compute node.
Rotate the rear of the upper compute node down. When it stops, press on the indicated location to fully seat the connectors.
Rotate the release lever on the rear of the compute node closed until it clicks..

After you install the upper compute node, install the Flex System x222 Compute Node into the chassis (see Installing a compute node in a chassis for instructions).
