To remove a network adapter, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Read the Safety topic and the “Installation guidelines” on page 35.
2. Shut down the operating system on all partitions of the compute node, turn off the compute node,
and remove the compute node from the IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis. See “Removing the
compute node from an IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis” on page 37.
3. Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface, with the cover side up.
4. Open and remove the compute node cover. See “Removing the compute node cover” on page 39.
5. Pull the slot’s two blue release tabs open, as indicated in Figure 29.
6. Lift the network adapter up and away from its connector and out of the compute node.
7. If you are instructed to return the expansion card, follow all packaging instructions, and use any
packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
8. Install and close the compute node cover. See “Installing and closing the compute node cover” on
page 41.
Statement 21
CAUTION:
Hazardous energy is present when the compute node is connected to the power source. Always
replace the compute node cover before installing the compute node.
