Installing the rear hard disk drive cage
Use this information to install the rear hard disk drive cage.
Before you install the rear hard disk drive cage, complete the following steps:
- Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
- If the compute node is installed in a NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure, remove it (see Removing a compute node from a chassis for instructions).
- Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface, orienting the compute node with the bezel pointing toward you.
To install the rear hard disk drive cage, complete the following steps.
Figure 1. Installing a hard disk drive cage (3.5-inch)
Figure 2. Installing a hard disk drive cage (2.5-inch)
Figure 3. Installing a hard disk drive cage (1.8-inch)
- Remove the cover (see Removing the compute node cover).
- Position the cage with an angle and rotate the cage into position on the system board.
- Align the cage with the screw holes on the planar tray.
- Using a Phillips (for 3.5-inch hard disk drive cage) or T8 torx (part number 00FK488, for 2.5-inch or 1.8-inch hard disk drive cage, provided on the back of the chassis) screwdriver, insert the screws (four for 3.5-inch hard disk drive cage and three for 2.5-inch or 1.8-inch hard disk drive cage) and secure the cage in the compute node.
- Install the hard disk drive backplate if there is one (see Installing the hard disk drive backplate).
- Insert the easy-swap hard disk drives or the solid-state drives (see Removing and installing drives).
- For cable routing, see Internal cable routing and connectors.
After you install the hard disk drive cage, complete the following steps:
- Install the cover onto the compute node (see Installing the compute node cover for instructions).
- Install the compute node into the chassis (see Installing a compute node in a chassis for instructions).
