The Installation and User's Guide includes the compute node information on the IBM Flex System Enterprise
Chassis Documentation CD. All of the following information is in the document and also in the information
center:
v Setting up the compute node
v Starting and configuring the compute node
v Installing optional hardware devices
v A reference to more information about installing supported operating systems
v Performing basic troubleshooting of the compute node
Packaged with the printed Installation and User's Guide are software CDs that help you to configure
hardware, install device drivers, and install the operating system.
The compute node comes with a limited warranty. For information about the terms of the warranty and
