Taking the Cartridge Offline

Decommission the cartridge remotely using Cisco UCS Manager. UCS Manager gracefully shuts down the CPU subsystem during the 
decommissioning process. 

For details, see the Configuration Guide for the version of Cisco UCS Manager that you are using. The configuration guides are available 
at the following URL: 

Removing the Cartridge From the Chassis

 You do not have to power off the chassis, but you must decommission the cartridge before removing it from the chassis.

Decommission the cartridge by using Cisco UCS Manager.

 Do not remove the cartridge from the chassis if the cartridge is powered on in main power mode (the power LED is green). 

The cartridge power LED must be amber, indicating that the CPU subsystem is in standby. You must decommission the cartridge before you 
pull it from the chassis.

Check the color of the cartridge power status LED:

Green—The CPU subsystem is in main power mode. Do not remove the cartridge.

Amber—The CPU subsystem is in standby mode and the cartridge can be pulled from the chassis (only after decommission in 
UCS Manager).

Off—The CPU subsystem power is off and the cartridge can be pulled from the chassis any time.

Remove a cartridge from the chassis:

Squeeze the cartridge locking mechanism and the release lever together (see 

Slide the cartridge out of the chassis and set it on an antistatic surface.

Reinstall a cartridge to the chassis: 

Carefully align the cartridge with the empty bay, keeping the cartridge level.

Slide the cartridge into the chassis until the locking mechanism clicks and locks the cartridge in place.
