If you must remove the chassis from a rack or a non-hot-plug component from the chassis or node, then you must power down the nodes. If only one node needs to be serviced, you only need to power down that node. If you are going to service the management module, you must power down all nodes in the chassis. • Remove the chassis from the rack (on page 31). • Remove the nodes from the chassis ("Remove a node from the chassis" on page 32). If the rack environment, cabling configuration, or the chassis location in the rack creates unstable conditions, then remove the node from the chassis. • Disconnect the cable management arm (on page 33). • Remove the access panel (on page 34). • Install the access panel (on page 34). Power down the node Before powering down the node for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of critical server data and programs.
