Installing the front handle

Use this information to install the front handle on the lower compute node.

Before you install the front handle, complete the following steps:
  1. Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
  2. If the Flex System x222 Compute Node is installed in a chassis, remove it (see Removing a compute node from a chassis for instructions).
  3. Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface with the upper compute node side down, orienting the compute node with the bezel pointing toward the left.

To install the front handle, complete the following steps.


Graphic illustrating the removal of the front handle

  1. Orient the front handle so that the blue release latch is toward the middle of the compute node.
  2. Align the hole in the handle with the hole on the lower compute node where the handle is installed.
  3. Using a T15 Torx screwdriver, install the screw that secures the handle. Install the screw that you removed when you removed the handle.
After you install the front handle, install the Flex System x222 Compute Node into the chassis (see Installing a compute node in a chassis for instructions).
