Components
The following figure shows an empty Cisco UCS X9508 server chassis and identifies the front, back, and
module slots.
Before you remove or install components, please ensure that all software applications are shutdown and
management software is in a good state.
Note
Whenever you remove a module from the chassis for an extended period of time, always replace the module
with the appropriate blank panel. Failing to do so can result in heating and EMI issues. Blank panels can be
ordered from Cisco Systems.
