Installing the chassis bulkhead

Use this information to install the chassis bulkhead.

Before you install the chassis bulkhead, complete the following steps:
  1. Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
  2. If the 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, orienting the compute node with the bezel pointing toward you.

To install the chassis bulkhead, complete the following steps.

  1. Remove the cover (see Removing the compute node cover).
  2. Remove the fabric connector (see Removing a fabric connector).
  3. Position the bulkhead in the chassis.
  4. Using a T8 Torx screwdriver, install the screws that secure the bulkhead to the sides of the chassis.
  5. Carefully place the chassis on its side with the front handle side up.
  6. Using a T8 Torx screwdriver, install the screws that secure the bulkhead to the bottom of the chassis.
  7. Carefully return the chassis to the bottom-side-down orientation.
  8. Install the fabric connector (see Installing a fabric connector).
  9. Install the I/O expansion adapters (see Installing an I/O expansion adapter).
  10. Install the air baffles, if you removed them.
After you install the chassis bulkhead, complete the following steps:
  1. Install the cover onto the compute node (see Installing the compute node cover for instructions).
  2. Install the compute node into the chassis (see Installing a compute node in a chassis for instructions).
