Installing a Compute Node Blank
If you remove a compute node, and you will not be installing another compute node, you must install a compute
node blank. Do not operate the server with an empty compute node slot. The minimum configuration is 1
installed compute node, so in this configuration you need 7 module blanks installed.
Compute node blanks are interchangeable within the same chassis or other chassis.
Use this task to install a compute node blank
Step 1 Grasp the blank by the finger holds.
Step 2 Hold the module blank vertically and align the module blank with the slot.
The module blank has an arrow and the word UP that show how to orient the blank. Also, if you attempt to
install the blank with the wrong orientation, the module does not sit flush with the front of the chassis.
