The SuperCap module is only needed when the MRAID Storage Controller
module (UCSX-X10C-RAIDF) is installed.
Note
The front mezzanine module can be replaced as a whole unit, or to give easier access to some of the storage
drives that it holds. SAS/SATA and the NVMe drives are accessible directly through the front of the front
mezzanine panel and are hot pluggable.
To replace the front mezzanine module, use the following topics:

• For MRAID Storage Controller Module (UCSX-X10C-RAIDF), M.2 Mini Storage, and NVMe storage,
UEFI boot mode is supported.
Removing the Front Mezzanine Module
Use the following procedure to remove the front mezzanine module. This procedure applies to the following
modules:
• Front mezzanine blank (UCSX-X10C-FMBK)
• Compute Pass Through Controller (UCSX-X10C-PT4F)
• MRAID Storage Controller Module (UCSX-X10C-RAIDF)
Before you begin
To remove the front mezzanine module, you need a T8 screwdriver and a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
Step 1
If the compute node's cover is not already removed, remove it now. Remove the compute node cover.
See
Removing a Compute Node Cover, on page 15
.
Step 2
Remove the securing screws:
a) Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws on the top of the front mezzanine module.
This step may be skipped if removing the front mezzanine blank (UCSX-X10C-FMBK).
Note
b) Using a T8 screwdriver, remove the two screws on each side of the compute node that secure the front mezzanine
module to the sheet metal.
