To remove the node from a rack:
1. Power off the node. See Powering Off the System.
2. Disconnect the cabling.
3. Extend the node from the rack. See Extending a VLS Node from the Rack.

Removing the VLS Node Access Panel
WARNING! Pressing the Power on/Standby button sets the node to the standby position, which
removes power from most areas of the node. However, portions of the power supply and some
internal circuitry remain active until the AC power cord is removed.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: Do not operate the node for long periods without the access panel. Operating the
node without the access panel results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to
thermal damage.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Properly ground yourself
before beginning any installation procedure.
1. Power off the node. See Powering Off the System.
2. Extend the node from the rack. See Extending a VLS Node from the Rack.
3. Lift up on the hood latch handle which slides the panel toward the rear of the unit.
4. Lift up the panel to remove it.
Installing the VLS Node Access Panel
1. Set the access panel on top of the node about 0.2 inch from the opening with the hood latch
open.
2. Engage the anchoring pin with the corresponding hole in the latch.
3. Push down on the hood latch.
4. Slide the access panel into the closed position.
VLS Node Component Replacement
Hard Drive
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the node unless
all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
NOTE: The node contains one of several possible hard drives. The replacement hard drive must
be the same or greater capacity as the original hard drive; see the label on the front of the original
hard drive for the correct supported replacement capacity and part number.
