Cisco UCS X9508 User Manual

Before you begin
Do not operate the server with an empty compute node slot. If you will not be installing a compute node in
an empty slot, install a compute node blank to cover the empty slot.
Step 1 Press the release button at the center of the compute node faceplate to disengage the ejector handles.
Step 2 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.
Also, when the compute node disconnects from the midplane, the server powers off.

Step 3 Grasp the compute node handles and slide the compute node partially out of the chassis.
Make sure to keep the compute node vertical while removing it.
Step 4 Place your other hand underneath the compute node to support it and slide the compute node completely out of the chassis.
What to do next
Fill the empty compute node slot. Go to the appropriate option:
