Procedure: Reseating a node canister

To reseat a node canister, use this procedure.

If a node canister has been powered off, it must be powered on according to this procedure.

If a node canister is powered on, only carry out this procedure if instructed by another service procedure to do so.

Refer to Procedure: Understanding the system status using the LEDs to understand whether a node canister is powered off.

Only if it is appropriate to do so, reseat a canister by completing the following steps.

  1. On the node canister, unlatch the release levers and pull them open.
    Take care not to inadvertently disturb or remove any cables connected to the system.
    The canister moves out of the slot approximately 0.6 cm (0.25 inch).
  2. Refer to Procedure: Understanding the system status using the LEDs to confirm that the canister is not powered.
  3. Wait 10 seconds.
  4. With the release levers still open, gently push the canister back into the enclosure until it stops.
    The canister will be approximately 0.6 cm (0.25 inch) short of being fully inserted.
  5. Close both the release levers together so that the canister is pulled fully into its slot.
    The node starts.
  6. Push the orange end of each release lever to latch the lever in the closed position.
  7. Use the management GUI to check the status of the node and check system events.
