1. Read "Safety" on page iii and "Installation guidelines" on page 7.
2. If the storage expansion node assembly is installed in an Flex System Enterprise Chassis, remove it
(see "Removing the storage expansion node assembly from the Flex System Enterprise Chassis" on
page 17 for instructions).
3. Carefully lay the storage expansion node assembly on a flat, static-protective surface with the storage
expansion node and compute node bezels facing you.
To remove the compute node, complete the following steps:
Step 1.
Remove the compute node cover (see the compute node Installation and Service Guide for
instructions).
Step 2.
If any I/O expansion adapters in the compute node are blocking access to the interposer connector,
remove them (see the compute node Installation and Service Guide for instructions).
Step 3.
Disconnect the interposer cable from the interposer connector on the compute node system board.
Step 4.
If you removed any I/O expansion adapters from the compute node, install them (see the compute
node Installation and Service Guide for instructions).
Step 5.
On the underside of the expansion shelf, lift the raised edge of the retaining latch that secures the
compute node to the shelf while you slide the compute node away from the center of the shelf, as
shown in the following illustration.
Step 6.
Install the compute node cover (see the compute node Installation and Service Guide for
instructions).
Installing a flash/RAID adapter and flash power module
Some RAID configurations require an optional 512 MB or 1 GB flash/RAID adapter. The adapter comes
with a flash power module, which you must install with the adapter.
