Replacing The Pci Riser Filler - Lenovo NeXtScale nx360 M5 Installation And Service Manual

1. Read "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 101.
2. If the compute node is installed in a NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure, remove it (see "Removing a compute
node from a chassis" on page 104 for instructions).
3. Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface, orienting the compute node with
the bezel pointing toward you.
To remove the PCI riser filler, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Remove the cover (see "Removing the compute node cover" on page 113).
