Figure 4: Installing a Compute Node Blank
Removing a Compute Node
You must decommission the compute node using Cisco Intersight before physically removing the compute
node.
Do not operate the chassis with an empty compute node slot. If you will not be installing a compute node in
an empty slot, install a compute node blank (UCSX-9508-FSBK) to cover the empty slot.
Step 1 Turn off the compute node by using Cisco Intersight.
Step 2 Press the release button at the center of the compute node's faceplate to disengage the ejector handles.
Step 3 Grasp the ejector handles and pull them outward so that they arc vertically away from each other.
While moving the compute node handles, you might feel some resistance. This resistance is normal. It occurs because
the connectors at the rear of the compute node are unseating from the corresponding sockets in the chassis.
