Installing the center partition

Use this information to install the center partition.

Before you install the center partition, complete the following steps:
  1. Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
  2. If the compute node is installed in a Lenovo Flex System chassis, remove it (see Removing a compute node from a chassis for instructions).
  3. Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface, orienting the compute node with the bezel pointing toward you.

To install the center partition, complete the following steps.
center partition installation

  1. Remove the cover (see Removing the compute node cover).
  2. Remove the air baffles.
  3. Place the center partition into position at the rear of the compute node.
  4. Rotate the center partition and secure it at the front of the compute node.
  5. Install the air baffles.
    Attention
    Install the air baffles with the arrow indicating air airflow direction pointing to the rear of the compute node.
    Attention
    To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the compute node without the center partition installed in the compute node and the air baffles installed over the DIMM connectors.
After you install the center partition, complete the following steps:
  1. Install the cover onto the compute node (see Installing the compute node cover for instructions).
  2. Install the compute node into the chassis (see Installing a compute node in a chassis for instructions).
