Use these instructions to install the storage expansion node assembly
in an Flex System Enterprise Chassis.
Before you install the
storage expansion node assembly
in an
Flex System Enterprise Chassis,
complete the following steps:
- Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
- Make sure that the integrated management module II (IMM2) primary
and backup firmware in the compute node is at level ibm_fw_imm2_1aoo34x-1.xx_anyos_noarch
or later.
Attention: If you attempt to operate the storage expansion node with
a compute node that has IMM2 firmware an earlier level, the firmware
in the storage expansion node will
become corrupted and unrecoverable, and you will have to replace
the storage expansion node.
- Remove the 1-bay shelf from the Flex System Enterprise Chassis bays
where you will install the storage expansion node assembly.

CAUTION:
Use safe practices when lifting.
To install the storage expansion node assembly,
complete the following steps.
Attention: Make sure that the
drive drawer is closed and latched. Do not attempt to install the storage expansion node assembly
in the chassis while the drive drawer is open.
- Open the cam handles on the compute node and the storage expansion node.
- Orient the storage expansion node assembly
with the storage expansion node and
compute node bezels facing you.
- Place the storage expansion node assembly
onto the shelf supports in the chassis bays; then, slide the assembly
all the way into the bays.
- Close the cam handles on the compute node and the storage expansion node to
latch the assembly in place.
If you have changed the configuration of the compute node
or if you are installing a different compute node from the one that
you removed, you must configure the compute node through the Setup
utility, and you might have to install the compute node operating
system. See Updating the compute node configuration for
more information.
