Install the adapter-retention assembly

Use this information to install the adapter-retention assembly.

About this task
Attention
Note
The adapter-retention assembly consists of 12 separate parts. You can install only the parts that you choose and save the unused parts for future use.

Procedure

  1. Carefully place the compute node on its side, making sure the protruding part of the handle is at the top so that the compute node is stable.
    Attention
    If you place the compute node on its side, with the protruding part of the handle at the bottom, the compute node will not be stable and might fall over.
