Buttons
The Reset button is just inside the chassis and must be pressed using the tip of a paper clip or a similar
item. Hold the button down for five seconds and then release it to restart the server if other methods of
restarting are not working.
The beaconing function for an individual server may be turned on or off by pressing the combination
button and LED.
The Power button and LED allows you to manually take a server temporarily out of service but leave it
in a state where it can be restarted quickly. If the desired power state for a service profile associated with
a blade server or an integrated rack-mount server is set to "off", using the power button or Cisco UCS
Manager to reset the server will cause the desired power state of the server to become out of sync with
the actual power state and the server may unexpected shutdown at a later time. To safely reboot a server
from a power-down state, use the Boot Server action in Cisco UCS Manager.
Connectors
A console port is provided to give a direct connection to a blade server to allow operating system
installation and other management tasks to be done directly rather than remotely. The port uses the KVM
dongle device included in the chassis accessory kit.

Installing and Removing a Blade Server Hard Drive
Installing and Removing a Blade Server Hard Drive
There are up to 4 front-accessible, hot-swappable, 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives per blade. You can
remove blade server hard drives without removing the blade server from the chassis. All other
component replacement for a blade server requires removing the blade from the chassis. Unused hard
drive bays should always be covered with cover plates (N20-BBLKD) to assure proper cooling and
ventilation. The chassis is omitted from illustrations here to simplify the drawing.
Caution To prevent ESD damage, wear grounding wrist straps during these procedures and handle modules by
the carrier edges only.
Replacing an HDD or SSD with a drive of the same size, model, and manufacturer generally causes few
problems with UCS Manager. If the drive being replaced was part of a RAID array we recommend using
a newly ordered drive of identical size, model, and manufacturer to replace the failed drive. Cisco
recommends following industry standard practice of using drives of the same capacity when creating
RAID volumes. If drives of different capacities are used, the useable portion of the smallest drive will
be used on all drives that make up the RAID volume. Before upgrading or adding an HDD to a running
system, check the service profile in UCS Manager and make sure the new hardware configuration will
be within the parameters allowed by the service profile.

If you need to move a RAID cluster, refer to the Moving a RAID Cluster section of the the
Troubleshooting Server Hardware chapter of the Cisco UCS Troubleshooting Guide.
Removing and Installing a UCS B440 High Performance Blade
Server
Before performing any internal operation on a blade server, you must turn it off and remove it from the
chassis.
Caution To prevent ESD damage, wear grounding wrist straps during these procedures and handle modules by
the carrier edges only.
Shutting Down and Powering Off A Blade Server
The server can run in two power modes:
•Main power mode—Power is supplied to all server components and any operating system on your
hard drives can run.
•Standby power mode—Power is supplied only to the service processor and the cooling fans and it
is safe to power off the server from this mode.
After establishing a connection to the blade server’s operating system, you can directly shut down the
blade server using the operating system.
You can invoke a graceful shutdown or an emergency shutdown (hard shutdown) by using either of the
following methods:
•Use the UCS Manager . See either the Cisco UCS Manager GUI Configuration Guide or the Cisco
UCS Ma nager CLI Configuration Guide.
•Use the Power button on the server front panel. To use the Power button, follow these steps:
Step 1 Check the color of the Power Status LED.
•Green indicates that the server is in main power mode and must be shut down before it can be safely
powered off. Go to Step 2.
•Amber indicates that the server is already in standby mode and can be safely powered off. Go to
Step 3.
Step 2 Invoke either a graceful shutdown or a hard shutdown:
Caution To avoid data loss or damage to your operating system, you should always invoke a graceful shutdown
of the operating system.
•Graceful shutdown—Press and release the Power button. The operating system will perform a
graceful shutdown and the server goes to standby mode, which is indicated by an amber Power
Status LED.
•Emergency shutdown—Press and hold the Power button for 4 seconds to force the main power off
and immediately enter standby mode.

Removing and Installing a UCS B440 High Performance Blade Server
Step 3 If you are shutting down all blade servers in a chassis, you should now disconnect the power cords from
the chassis to completely power off the servers. If you are only shutting down one server, you can skip
unplugging the chassis and move to removing the server.
Removing a Cisco UCS B440 High Performance Blade Server
Using UCS Manager, decommission the server using UCS Manager before physically removing the
server. To remove a blade server from the chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1 Turn off the blade server using either UCS Manager or the power on standby button.
Step 2 Completely loosen the captive screws on the front of the blade.
Step 3 Remove the blade from the chassis by pulling the ejector levers on the blade until it unseats the blade
server.
Step 4 Slide the blade part of the way out of the chassis, and place your other hand under the blade to support
its weight.
Step 5 Once removed, place the blade on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam if you are not immediately
reinstalling it into another slot.
Step 6 If the slot is to remain empty, reinstall the slot divider (N20-CDIVV) and install two blank faceplates
(N20-CBLKB1) to keep assure proper ventilation and cooling.
Installing a Cisco UCS B440 High Performance Blade Server
While the blades and chassis are designed for any device to operate in any slot, the following placement
guidelines should be used when installing blades to distribute weight as intended and make insertion and
removal easier:
1. 1.A chassis filled with half-width servers will require slot dividers be installed. A chassis filled with
full-width servers will require the removal of all slot dividers.
2. 2.If a mixture of full- and half-width servers is desired, place full-width blades in slot 1 and down,
and place half-width blades in slot 8 and up. Slot dividers are required between half-width servers
to provide support to the bays above.
To install a blade server, follow these steps:
Step 1 If necessary, remove the slot divider (N20-CDIVV) from the chassis. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Simultaneously pull up on the left side catch and push down on the right side catch as shown in
callout 1 of Figure 4.
b. Pull the slot divider out of the chassis as shown in callout 2 of Figure 4. Keep the slot divider in case
it is needed at another time.
Tip To reinstall the slot divider, align it with the dimples in the slot top and bottom and slide it back in until
it clicks into place.

topicWorking Inside the Blade Server
LED states are saved, and if you remove the blade from the chassis the LED values will persist for up to
10 minutes. Pressing the LED diagnostics button on the motherboard will cause the LEDs that currently
show a component fault to light for up to 30 seconds for easier component identification. LED fault
values are reset when the blade is reinserted into the chassis and booted, and the process begins from its
start.
If DIMM insertion errors are detected, they may cause the blade discovery to fail and errors will be
reported in the server POST information, viewable using the UCS Manager GUI or CLI. UCS blade
servers require specific rules to be followed when populating DIMMs in a blade server, and the rules
depend on the blade server model. Refer to the documentation for a specific blade server for those rules.
HDD status LEDs are on the front face of the HDD. Faults on the CPU, DIMMs, or adapter cards will
also cause the server health LED to light solid Amber for minor error conditions or blinking Amber for
critical error conditions.

Removing a CPU or Heat Sink
You can order your blade server with one CPUs, and upgrade later to up to four CPUs. All CPUs must
be of the same type, and memory in slots intended for additional CPUs will not be recognized if the
corresponding CPU is not present (see Memory Arrangement). You may need to use these procedures to
move a CPU from one server to another, or to replace a faulty CPU.
Table 4 and Table 5 show the available CPU options:
To remove a CPU, CPU filler, or heat sink, follow these steps:
Step 1 Unscrew the four captive screws securing the heat sink to the motherboard as shown in callout 1 of
