Doug,
    Do both the nodes and the supervisor have covers? Is it only covers 
that must be removed or nodes as well? Both sentences are ambiguous, but 
the most likely meanings are that A. instructs the reader to remove all 
the covers from the supervisor and from the nodes. B. instructs the 
reader to remove the covers from the supervisor and to remove all nodes.
