Disassemble the compute node for chassis recycle

Follow the instructions in this section to disassemble the compute node before recycling the chassis.

About this task

Attention

  • Read Installation Guidelines to ensure that you work safely.

  • Power off the corresponding compute node that you are going to perform the task on.

  • Remove the compute node from the chassis (see Remove the compute node from the chassis).

  • Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface, orienting the compute node with the bezel pointing toward you.

Note

Refer to local environmental, waste or disposal regulations to ensure compliance.
