Installing A Compute Module Into The Chassis; Removing Or Installing The Top Cover; Removing The Top Cover - Intel MFS5520VI - Multi-Flex Server Compute Module User Manual

4. Rotate the two lever handles outward and pull the compute module from the chassis
slot.
5. Place either a filler or another compute module into the bay within one minute. This
step is required to maintain proper airflow patterns throughout the chassis and to
ensure proper chassis cooling.

Installing a Compute Module into the Chassis

To install a compute module into the chassis, follow these steps:
1. Observe the safety and ESD information at the beginning of this manual and in the
appendices.
2. If you have not done so already, install any necessary options, such as processors,
memory, hard drives and expansion cards in the compute module.
Note: The top cover is a required component of the compute module; do not attempt
3. Make sure the retention levers on the compute module are in the open position.
4. Insert the compute module into an open slot in the chassis and slide it in until it
stops.
5. Close the retention lever handles on the front of the compute module.

Removing or Installing the Top Cover

Removing the Top Cover

To remove the top cover, follow these steps:
1. Observe the safety and ESD information at the beginning of this manual and in the
appendices.
2. If the compute module is installed in a chassis, remove it. For instructions, see
"Removing a Compute Module from the Chassis" on page
3. Carefully lay the compute module down on a flat, non-conductive surface, with the
cover side up.
