Before you begin
Before you install an SMP expansion connector, complete the following steps:
1. Read "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 699.
2. If the compute node is operating, shut down the operating system.
3. Press the power button to turn off the compute node (see "Turning off the
compute node" on page 16 for more information).
Notes:
v If you purchased a multi-node complex and you received each compute node
packaged individually, each compute node has a label on the top of the bezel
identifying the primary node and the secondary nodes as defined at the factory
during testing. Install the nodes in the chassis in the order indicated on the label
with the lowest number on the bottom and the highest number on top.
