2. Remove the fabric connector (see “Removing a fabric connector” on page 537).
3. Position the bulkhead in the chassis.
4. Using a T8 Torx screwdriver, install the screws that secure the bulkhead to the
sides of the chassis.
5. Carefully place the chassis on its side with the front handle side up.
6. Using a T8 Torx screwdriver, install the screws that secure the bulkhead to the
bottom of the chassis.
7. Carefully return the chassis to the bottom-side-down orientation.
8. Install the fabric connector (see “Installing a fabric connector” on page 538).
9. Install the air baffles, if you removed them.
Attention: Install the air baffles with the arrow indicating air airflow direction
pointing to the rear of the compute node.
Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the compute
node without air baffles installed over the DIMM connectors.
What to do next
After you install the chassis bulkhead, complete the following steps:
1. Install the cover onto the compute node (see “Installing the compute node
cover” on page 500 for instructions).
2. Install the compute node into the chassis (see “Installing a compute node in a
chassis” on page 490 for instructions).
Removing the hard disk drive cage
Use this information to remove the hard disk drive cage.
Before you begin
Note: This procedure should be performed only by trained service technicians.
Before you remove the hard disk drive cage, complete the following steps:
1. Read “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page 487.
2. If the compute node is installed in an IBM Flex System chassis, remove it (see
“Removing a compute node from a chassis” on page 489 for instructions).
3. Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface, orienting the
compute node with the bezel pointing toward you.
