Remove the flash power module

Procedure

1. Make preparations for this task.
   1. Power off the node (see Power off the node); then, disconnect all external cables from the node.
      Note

      If necessary, press the release clip with a flat-head screwdriver to remove an external network cable from the rear of a 2U node.
      
      
   2. Remove the node from the chassis (see Remove a node from the chassis); then, carefully lay the node on a flat, static-protective surface, orienting the node with the front toward you.
      Note

      • When removing the node, note the node tray number and make sure to install the node in the same tray from which it was removed. Reinstalling the node into a different tray requires the node to be reconfigured.
      • For safety, make sure to hold the node with both hands when lifting the node.
   3. Remove the top cover (see Remove the top cover).
2. Disconnect the flash power module cable from the CFF RAID adapter.
3. Remove the flash power module from the air baffle.
