Recycling the Motherboard PCBA
Each Cisco UCS X440p PCIe Node has a PCBA (motherboard) that is connected to sheet metal. You must
disconnect the PCBA from the chassis sheet metal to recycle the PCBA. You will need to disassemble and
remove additional parts to gain access to the PCBA.
You will need to recycle the PCBA for each UCS X9508 chassis.
Use the following procedure to recycle the Cisco UCS X440p PCIe Node's motherboard.
Before you begin
For Recyclers Only!
This procedure is not a standard field-service option. This procedure is for recyclers
who will be reclaiming the electronics and sheet metal for proper disposal to comply with local eco
design and e-waste regulations.
Note
To remove the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) which is the PCB (motherboard) plus components
mounted on it, the following requirements must be met:
• The PCIe node must be disconnected from facility power.
• The chassis must be removed from the equipment rack.
You will find it helpful to gather the following equipment for this procedure:
• Screwdrivers: T10 Torx, T8 Torx, and a #1 Phillips
• Hexagonal screwdriver: H2.0
• A pliers
• A scissors or shop knife
Step 1
Remove the server's top cover.
See
Removing a PCIe Node Cover, on page 18
Step 2
Remove the appropriate GPU riser cage.
See the appropriate topic:

Step 3
After removing the GPU riser cages from the PCIe node, disconnect the LED cable.
a) Use a scissors or shop knife to cut the cable ties around the LED cable.
