Installing the storage expansion node in an Flex System Enterprise Chassis

Use these instructions to install the storage expansion node assembly in an Flex System Enterprise Chassis.

Before you install the storage expansion node assembly in an Flex System Enterprise Chassis, complete the following steps:

1. Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
2. Make sure that the integrated management module II (IMM2) primary and backup firmware in the compute node is at level ibm_fw_imm2_1aoo34x-1.xx_anyos_noarch or later.
   Attention

   If you attempt to operate the storage expansion node with a compute node that has IMM2 firmware an earlier level, the firmware in the storage expansion node will become corrupted and unrecoverable, and you will have to replace the storage expansion node.
3. Remove the 1-bay shelf from the Flex System Enterprise Chassis bays where you will install the storage expansion node assembly.

Statement 4

≥ 18 kg (39.7 lb)	≥ 32 kg (70.5 lb)	≥ 55 kg (121.2 lb)

CAUTION

Use safe practices when lifting.

To install the storage expansion node assembly, complete the following steps.

Attention: Make sure that the drive drawer is closed and latched. Do not attempt to install the storage expansion node assembly in the chassis while the drive drawer is open.

1. Open the cam handles on the compute node and the storage expansion node.
2. Orient the storage expansion node assembly with the storage expansion node and compute node bezels facing you.
3. Place the storage expansion node assembly onto the shelf supports in the chassis bays; then, slide the assembly all the way into the bays.
4. Close the cam handles on the compute node and the storage expansion node to latch the assembly in place.
