CAUTION

The power-control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not turn off the electrical current supplied to the device. The device also might have more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source.

Attention

• Read Installation Guidelines and Safety inspection checklist to ensure that you work safely.

• Power off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. See Power off the server.

• Reserve 500 mm of clearance in front of the node for installation/removal procedure.

Note

Depending on the model, your server might look slightly different from the illustration.

Procedure

1. If applicable, remove the WLAN antennas. See Remove the WLAN antennas.
2. If applicable, turn the screw between the two SMA connectors clockwise to shorten the connectors into the chassis.
   Note

   Make sure that the SMA connectors are shortened into the chassis; if the SMA connectors are extended and out of the chassis, the node can not be installed successfully.

4. Depending on the model, fasten four screws or thumbscrews to secure one side bracket to the node; then, repeat the procedure to the other side bracket.
   Note

   There are “L” and “R” logos marked on the front of side brackets which represent the left bracket and the right bracket (viewed from the front of the node). Make sure to install the brackets with correct orientation shown in the illustration.

5. Secure the bottom plate to the node with eight screws (four for each side).
   Note

   Make sure to fasten the screws to the screw holes close to the node.

7. If applicable, fully extend the SMA connectors, and install the WLAN antennas. See Install the WLAN antennas.
8. Mount the node sleeve to the DIN rail.
   1. Hook the top side of DIN rail clips onto the rail at an angle.
   2. Pivot the node sleeve toward the DIN rail, and ensure the DIN rail clips are securely seated.

9. Connect the power cable and other necessary external cables to the node.
10. Power on the server and any peripheral devices. See Power on the server.
11. (Optional) If necessary, install the security bezel.
    Note

    When the security bezel is installed, the front operator panel and USB Type-C connectors are not accessible.
    1. Insert the tab of security bezel into the slot; then, pivot the security bezel toward the node sleeve until the other side of security bezel clicks into place.
       Note

       Make sure that the external cables in front of the node go through the corresponding openings of the security bezel.
    2. Lock the security bezel with the key, and store the key for future use.
