Remove source node B

Take the following actions to remove node B from the chassis. Node B is the top node.

1. Ensure that the wire bail is properly secured to the power supply cable of the other node to prevent accidental loss of power and cache.
2. Rotate the power cable retention bail to the right. Disconnect the power cable from the power supply.
3. Disconnect the cables from the back of the I/O modules and network ports on the node.
   NOTE:Do not remove any cables from the other node.
4. Remove the node ID plug from the node handle.
5. Pull the orange release trigger while gently pushing in on the node.
   The hook disengages from the locking mechanism, and the release tab slides out.

   NOTE:The node comes completely out of the chassis. Be prepared to support the node to avoid dropping it.

   NOTE:The release trigger and handle for node B is on the upper left.

   CAUTION:Removing the incorrect node leads to loss of system power and cached data will be lost.

   

6. Use the release handle to pull the node outward enough to grasp the sides with both hands. Then, with both hands supporting the node, pull the node fully out of the enclosure.

   

7. Place the node on a clean, flat, static-free work surface with the top cover facing up.
