Replacing the PCI riser filler

Use this information to install the PCI riser filler.

Before you install the PCI riser filler, complete the following steps:
  1. Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
  2. If the compute node is installed in a NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure, 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 PCI riser filler, complete the following steps:

  1. Remove the cover (see Removing the compute node cover).
  2. Align the PCI riser filler pin with the baffle pin hole on the right side of the chassis; then, lower the PCI riser filler into the compute node. Press the PCI riser filler down until it is securely seated.

  3. Reinstall the cover (see Installing the compute node cover).
  4. Slide the compute node into the rack.
  5. Reconnect the power cords and any cables that you removed.
  6. Turn on the peripheral devices and the compute node.
