-
-
Power off both server systems in the Open Compute V2 chassis.
-
Remote Power Down: Login to each server to power it off.
-
shutdown -h now;exit -
Hardware Power Down: Press and hold the power switch for at least three seconds, as annotated.
-
-
-

-
Place the chassis on a work surface.
-
-
-
Disconnect the power connector from the server motherboard.
-

-
The SATA connector has a metal tab that must be depressed to release the cable.
-
-
-
Pinch the sled retention lever and pull it forward.
-
Slide the server node out of the chasiss.
-
Repeat these actions for the adjacent server node.
-
-
-
Disconnect the fan power cable from the middle plane board.
-
-
-
Remove the right-most fan from the server chassis.
-
-
-
Disconnect one DC cable connector from the PSU.
-
Disconnect one AC cable connector from the PSU.
-
Make sure to pinch the connector tabs to release the cables..
-
-
-
Pull retention plunger away from the PSU.
-
Push the PSU away from the chassis while holding the plunger outwards, as shown.

-
Route the LED cable connector through the chassis cutout near the PSU socket, as shown.
-
-
-
Slide the LED cable away each cable management tab in the chassis.
-
-
-
Route the LED through the chassis cutout as shown.
-
