Removing a storage tray from a compute node

Use this information to remove a storage tray from a NeXtScale nx360 M4 compute node.

Before you remove a storage tray from a compute node, complete the following steps:

1. Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
2. If the compute node is operating, shut down the operating system.
3. Press the power button to turn off the compute node (see Turning off the compute node for more information).

To remove the storage tray from a compute node, complete the following steps:

1. Remove the easy-swap hard disk drive #6 (see Removing a 3.5-inch hard disk drive).
2. Disconnect the configuration cable, the hardware RAID (signal) cable, and the mini-SAS cable from the storage tray.
3. Press on the release latch and slide the storage tray toward the rear of the compute node.
