Table 1: PCIe node LEDs
Description
Color
LED
Locator not enabled.
Off
PCIe node Locator
LED
The PCIe node Locator
LED is synced with its
paired compute node
(host). When the
compute node locator
LED is turned on, the
paired slot PCIe node
locator LED is also
turned on.
Note
Locates a selected PCIe node—If
the LED is not blinking, the PCIe
node is not selected.
You can activate the LED in UCS
Intersight, which enables toggling
the LED on and off.
Blinking Blue (1 Hz)
PCIe node is not powered on.
Off
PCIe node Health
Host is receiving power.
Solid Green
Host is powered off. You can safely
remove the PCIe node.
Blinking Green (1 Hz)
Fault condition exists, such as a
configuration or system or device
inventory problem.
Solid Amber
Severe fault, such as an insufficient
power condition.
Blinking Amber (1 Hz)
Riser Cage Options
GPUs are contained in risers that mount onto the PCIe node sheet metal. Power and signaling are supported
by cables that connect each riser cage to the PCIe node rear mezzanine PCBA.
• Riser Type A: Supports FHFL GPU cards through a single x16 FHFL dual-slot PCIe connector.
• Riser Type B: Supports HHHL GPU cards through two x16 PCIe connectors, which the PCIe node
supports as two x8 PCIe connectors.
If your PCIe node is not fully populated, any empty riser cage must contain PCIe slot blanks. For example,
if you have a PCIe node with two HHHL GPUs in one riser, but no GPUs in the second riser, the second riser
must contain two Cisco PCIe blanks.
Regardless of the riser type, any empty GPU card slot in a riser must be filled with a PCIe slot blank.
