Removing the PCIe Node
Use this task to remove the PCIe node from the chassis.
Before you begin
You can remove each PCIe node directly from the front of the chassis by using the node's ejectors. You do
not need any tools to remove the node.
Note
Caution
Step 1
If you have not already done so, use Cisco management software (for example, Cisco IMM) to power down the compute
node paired with the PCIe node.
Step 2
After the paired compute node is completely powered off, push the PCIe node's ejector button between the two ejectors
to disconnect the ejectors from the sheet metal.
When you press the ejector button, the ejector handles will pop up slightly from the face of the node.
Step 3 Gently swing each ejector vertically to disconnect the PCIe node from the server.
Step 4
Using one hand to support the PCIe node, pull the node towards you to slide it out of the server chassis.

Hot swap of the PCIe node is not supported while the host is on. The paired compute node must be
powered down first before removing or inserting the PCIe node.

The PCIe node can be heavy. Use your other hand to support the module while you are removing it.
The Cisco UCS X440p PCIe node itself is hot swappable, but the paired compute node must be powered
down first before hot swapping the PCIe node.
