Replacing the rear bulkhead

Use these instructions to install a replacement rear bulkhead on the storage expansion node.

To install the rear bulkhead, complete the following steps:

1. Place the bulkhead so that the screw holes on the bulkhead are aligned with the screw holes on the storage expansion node.
2. Using a T8 Torx screwdriver, install the five screws that secure the bulkhead, as shown in the following illustration. Use the screws that you removed when you removed the bulkhead.
   
   
   
3. Install the cover on the storage expansion node (see Installing the cover on the storage expansion node for instructions).
   Attention

   Bend the interposer cable up and over the storage expansion node to ensure that the cable and connector are clear of the compute node.
4. With the left edge of the storage expansion node aligned with the expansion node alignment mark on the expansion shelf, orient the slots on the bottom of the storage expansion node with the posts on the right side of the expansion shelf. Then, slide the storage expansion node toward the center of the shelf until the retention latch clicks into place, as shown in the following illustration.
   
   
   
5. Connect the interposer cable to the interposer connector on the compute node system board, as shown in the following illustration.
   
   
   
6. If you removed any I/O expansion adapters from the compute node, install them (see the compute node Installation and Service Guide for instructions).
7. Install the compute node cover (see the compute node Installation and Service Guide for instructions).
