About this task

Attention
  • Read the following sections to ensure that you work safely.
  • Turn off the corresponding DWC tray that you are going to perform the task on.
    Note
    If Shared I/O adapters are installed, power off the auxiliary node (node 1/3/5/7/9/11) first, and then power off the primary node (node 2/4/6/8/10/12).
  • Disconnect all external cables from the enclosure.
    Note
    Use extra forces to disconnect QSFP cables if they are connected to the solution.
  • A torque screwdriver is available for request if you do not have one at hand.

  • To avoid damaging the water loop, always use the water loop carrier when removing, installing or folding the water loop.

Prepare the following screwdrivers to ensure you can install and remove corresponding screws properly.
