Use this information to install the adapter-retention assembly.
Before you begin
Before you install the adapter-retention assembly, complete
the following steps:
- Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
- If the compute node is installed in an Flex System chassis,
remove it (see Removing a compute node from a chassis for
instructions).
- Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface,
orienting the compute node with the bezel pointing toward you.
About this task
The adapter-retention assembly consists of five separate
parts. You can replace only the parts that you choose and save the
unused parts for future use.
Procedure
To install the adapter-retention assembly, complete the
following steps.
-
Remove the cover (see Removing the compute node cover).
-
Remove the air baffles.
-
Carefully place the chassis on its side with the front
handle side up.
-
Align the adapter-retention assembly on the system board.
-
Using a T9 Torx screwdriver, install the screws that secure
the adapter-retention assembly.
-
Carefully return the chassis to the bottom-side-down orientation.
-
Install the I/O expansion adapters, if you removed them
(see Installing an I/O expansion adapter).
-
Install the air baffles.
Attention: Install
the air baffles with the arrow indicating airflow direction pointing
to the rear of the compute node.
What to do next
After you install the adapter-retention assembly, complete
the following steps:
- Install the cover onto the compute node (see Installing the compute node cover for instructions).
- Install the compute node into the chassis (see Installing a compute node in a chassis for instructions).
