Installation Guides and Limitations
Be aware of the following guidelines and limitations when installing the Cisco UCS X440p PCIe node.
• The Cisco UCS X440p PCIe node is supported in the Cisco UCS X9508 chassis only. Do not attempt
to install the PCIe node in any other UCS server chassis.
• The companion compute node host power should be off before attempting any removal or insertion
procedures. Hot removal or insertion of the PCIe node while the host is on is not supported.
• Each PCIe node must be paired with an X-Series compute node, and therefore, has specific configurations.
Either of the following configurations are supported. Be aware of these configurations, especially when
removing and installing compute nodes and PCIe nodes in your deployment.
