Use this information to remove an Flex System x222 Compute Node from a Flex System chassis.
Before you remove an Flex System x222 Compute Node,
complete the following steps:
- Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
- If either the upper or lower compute node is operating, shut down its operating system.
- Press the power buttons to turn off the upper and lower compute nodes (see Turning off a compute node for more information).
To remove the Flex System x222 Compute Node from a chassis, complete the following steps:
- Open the front handle as shown in the illustration. The Flex System x222 Compute Node moves
out of the node bay approximately 0.6 cm (0.25 inch).
Attention:- To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the Flex System chassis without a compute node or node bay filler installed in each node bay.
- When you remove the compute node, note the node bay number. Reinstalling a compute node into a different node bay from the one it was removed from can have unintended consequences. Some configuration information and update options are established according to node bay number. If you reinstall the compute node into a different node bay, you might have to reconfigure the compute node.
If you are instructed to return the Flex System x222 Compute Node, follow all packaging instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
