Before you begin
To remove the front mezzanine module, you need a T8 screwdriver and a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
Step 1 If the compute node's cover is not already removed, remove it now. Remove the compute node cover.
See Removing a Compute Node Cover, on page
Step 2 Remove the securing screws:
a) Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws on the top of the front mezzanine module.
Note This step may be skipped if removing the front mezzanine blank (UCSX-X10C-FMBK).
b) Using a T8 screwdriver, remove the two screws on each side of the compute node that secure the front mezzanine
module to the sheet metal.
Note The SuperCap module is only needed when the MRAID Storage Controller
module (UCSX-X10C-RAIDF) is installed.
