Installing the Cisco UCS X440p PCIe Node
PCIe Node Companion Module
The PCIe node must be installed in pairs with a compute node. The module and the node work together to
provide compute and GPU processing acceleration.
When you install, replace, or upgrade the PCIe node, make sure that you install it next to a supported companion
module, such as a Cisco UCS X210c compute node.
Note
Replacing the Cisco UCS X440p PCIe Node
The Cisco UCS X440p PCIe Node is tool-less, field replaceable hardware. You can install or remove the node
through node's integrated ejectors.
The Cisco X-Fabric solution does not limit or restrict slot usage when PCIe nodes are not required.
Compute nodes can be installed in any slot without restriction where PCIe nodes are not used.
