Removing A Compute Node From A Chassis; Installing A Compute Node In A Chassis - Lenovo ThinkServer sd350 Installation And Service Manual

Removing a compute node from a chassis

Use this information to remove a compute node from a Lenovo ThinkServer n400 Enclosure Type 5495
chassis.
Before you remove a compute node, complete the following steps:
1. Read "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 75.
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 server" on page 29 for
more information).
4. Record the serial number for each node bay.
To remove the compute node from a chassis, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Unhook the latch by pushing the side way.
Attention:
• To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the Lenovo ThinkServer n400 Enclosure Type
5495 chassis without a compute node or node bay filler installed in each node bay.
• 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.
Step 2. Pull the compute node out of the node bay.
Step 3. Install either a node bay filler or another compute node in the node bay.
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.
