Step 5
Replace the compute node's top cover and reinsert the compute node into the server chassis.
Replacing a GPU Card
A maximum of two GPU cards (UCSX-GPU-T4-MEZZ) are supported in the GPU cage in slots 1 or 2. Slots
are numbered on the side of the GPU cage.

GPU Card Guidelines and Restrictions
Be aware of the following guidelines and restrictions for GPU cards:
• Do not operate the compute node with an empty GPU card slot.
• In a one GPU system, it is a best practice to have the GPU in slot 1.
• If your front mezzanine GPU module has only one GPU card, the other GPU slot must contain a GPU
• GPU slots are keyed so that they can accept only the supported GPU (UCSX-GPU-T4-MEZZ).
• Always follow guidance on any service label or warning sticker physically installed on the GPU and

is preinstalled at the factory.
Caution
Cisco offers multiple models of Cisco T4 GPU, but they are not all interchangeable
between the different Cisco products. For the Cisco X10c Front Mezzanine GPU
Module, the only Cisco T4 GPU supported is UCSX-GPU-T4-MEZZ, which has
a custom heatsink. You can identify this GPU by the M3 screw on the GPU
bracket, which is a different screw from any other Cisco T4 GPU. Because of the
heatsink and screw, the UCSX-GPU-T4-MEZZ is supported only on the front
mezzanine GPU module. Do not attempt to install the UCSX-GPU-T4-MEZZ in
any other Cisco product.
