System reliability guidelines

Use these guidelines to make sure that the compute node meets the cooling and system reliability requirements:

• To ensure proper cooling, do not operate the chassis without a compute node or a filler in each node bay.
• Make sure that the ventilation holes on the compute node are not blocked.
• The compute node CMOS battery must be operational. If the CMOS battery becomes defective, replace it immediately. See the documentation that comes with the compute node for instructions.
