Chassis front view

This section contains information on the front of the chassis installed with nodes.

The chassis can contain up to four 1U nodes or up to two 2U nodes.

Note
ThinkSystem V4 nodes cannot be mixed with ThinkSystem V3 nodes within the same chassis.
Important
  • For proper cooling, each node tray must be installed with either a node or node tray fillers before the nodes in the chassis are powered on.
  • The installation of nodes must follow the sequence of the tray numbering.

Four 1U nodes

For four 1U nodes: the two nodes in the right trays ( 2 and 4 ) must be installed upside down.

The following illustration shows the front view of the chassis and respective node trays in the chassis.

Two 1U nodes and one 2U node

For two 1U nodes and one 2U node:
  1. One 2U node in the left tray and two upside-down 1U nodes in the right trays ( 2 / 4 ).

Two 2U nodes

For two 2U nodes: the node in tray 2 ( 2 ) must be installed upside down.
