Removing the compute node cover

Use this information to remove the cover from a compute node.

Before you remove the compute node cover, complete the following steps:
  1. Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
  2. If the compute node is installed in an IBM NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure, 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.

    Attention: Do not use any tools or sharp objects to press on the release latch. Doing so might result in permanent damage to the release latch.
  3. Lay the cover flat or store it for future use.

If you are instructed to return the cover, follow all packaging instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
