  1. Disconnect the power supply cord and all network and system cables from the compute module.

    Caution: Remove the power ONLY from the compute module being serviced. Removing the power from both modules in the chassis has the potential to cause a service outage to the X200 system.

    Note: Before disconnecting cables, document the cable configuration. The cabling must be reconnected to the module in the exact same configuration.

  2. Unlock the left and right latches on the side of the compute module.

  3. Remove the compute module from the chassis and place on a flat surface.

  3. Reconnect the power cable to the power supply and all network and system cables to the compute node.

  1. Press the node power button once. The compute node control board will initiate the power up sequence.

  2. Wait a few minutes for the node to power up and spin up all disks.
