Installing A Compute Node In A Chassis - Lenovo Flex System x280 X6 Compute Node Installation And Service Manual

3. Pull the compute node out of the node bay.
4. Install either a node bay filler or another compute node in the node bay within
What to do next
If you are instructed to return the compute node, follow all packaging instructions,
and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.

Installing a compute node in a chassis

Use this information to install a compute node in a Flex System chassis.
Before you begin
Before you install the compute node in a chassis, read "Safety" on page v and
"Installation guidelines" on page 699.
Statement 21
CAUTION:
Hazardous energy is present when the compute node is connected to the power
source. Always replace the compute node cover before installing the compute
node.
If you are installing a compute node model that does not have an integrated
Ethernet controller, you must install a network interface adapter before you install
the compute node in the chassis for management network communication. For a
list of supported optional devices for the compute node, see http://

Attention:
v 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.
v 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.
