Node Installation/Removal
As with any server system, power must be removed from the serverboard when
upgrading or installing memory or processors. In the 2U Twin server, the server-
boards (nodes) are capable of being hot-swapped from the chassis, allowing one
to be powered down for servicing while the other continues operating.
Important! Removing a node from the server affects the airfl ow through-
out the system. For this reason, nodes should be removed, serviced and
!
replaced as quickly as possible. Also note that powering down a node will
power down all the hard drives that are logically associated with it.
Removing a System Node
1.
Depress the power button on the control panel to power down the node.
2.
There are two latches located below the handles at the rear of the node tray.
Push both of these inward.
3.
While pushing the latches inward, grasp both handles and pull the node from
the chassis.
4.
Perform any service needed to the node in a timely manner.
5.
Reinstall the node by pushing it into its bay until fi rmly seated.
