Installing A Compute Node In A Chassis - IBM Flex System x440 Compute Node Installation And Service Manual

2. Pull the compute node out of the node bay.
3. Install either a node bay filler or another compute node in the node bay within
What to do next
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.

Attention:
v To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the IBM Flex System
chassis without a compute node or node bay filler installed in each node bay.
v 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.
