[Framers] [EXTERNAL] Grammar question

"All" is superfluous; I would remove it.
I would also remove "before proceeding further"; it is assumed that the
user will perform this step before proceeding to the next one.

Revised sentence: Remove the covers from the supervisor and nodes.

As to whether the revision is "better," minimalists would say that content
is easier to read and understand when you streamline a sentence.
