Removing the PCI riser filler

Use this information to remove the PCI riser filler.

Before you remove the PCI riser filler, complete the following steps:
  1. Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
  2. If the compute node is installed in a 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.

To remove the PCI riser filler, complete the following steps:

  1. Remove the cover (see Removing the compute node cover).
  2. Grasp the PCI riser filler and lift the PCI riser filler up.

  3. Remove the PCI riser filler from the compute node and set it aside.
    Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace the PCI riser filler before you turn on the compute node. Operating the compute node with the PCI riser filler removed might damage compute node components.
