Removing a Compute Sled
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You
should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized is not covered by
warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
CAUTION: To ensure proper airflow in the system, if a sled is removed it should be
immediately replaced with another sled or sled blank.
CAUTION: Operating the system without a sled or sled blank installed can cause
the enclosure to overheat. See "Installing a Double-Wide Sled Blank" on page 190.
1 Power down the sled using OS commands or the Baseboard Management
Controller, and ensure that the sled’s power is off.
When the sled is powered off, its front-panel indicator is off.
2 Pull up on the compute sled release latch at the bottom of the sled to
disengage the sled from the server enclosure. See Figure 3-4 or Figure 3-5.
3 Using the handle, slide the sled out of the enclosure. See Figure 3-4 or
Figure 3-5.
