Use these guidelines to make sure that the Flex System
chassis meets cooling and system reliability requirements.
- You do not operate the Flex System chassis without a device or
filler installed in each bay. See the documentation for your Flex
System chassis for additional information.
- Each of the module bays on the front and rear of the Flex System
chassis has either a module or a module filler installed in it.
- Each of the node bays on the front of the Flex System chassis
has either a node device or a node filler installed in it.
- Each of the drive bays in a node device has either a hot-swap
drive or a panel filler installed in it.
- You replace a removed hot-swap module, node device, or drive within
1 minute of removal. Failure to replace a node device or module with
another node device, module, node filler, or module filler within
1 minute can affect performance of the compute nodes.
- Cables for optional modules are routed according to the documents
that come with the modules.
- You replace a failed fan module as soon as possible
to maintain cooling redundancy. See the documentation for your Flex
System chassis for instructions.
