The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Compute cartridges consist of up to two Cisco UCS servers. Each individual server is independently manageable through its own CIMC instance, and has its own memory and CPU. The cartridge does not contain any I/O adapters or local storage within it.
 Note |
When a cartridge is replaced by another cartridge or relocated to a new slot in the same chassis or a different chassis, it goes into the mismatch state. |
| Command or Action | Purpose | |
|---|---|---|
| Step 1 |
UCS-A# acknowledge cartridge-slot chassis-id / cartridge-id |
Acknowledges the specified cartridge slot. |
| Step 2 |
UCS-A# commit-buffer |
Commits the transaction to the system configuration. |
The following example acknowledges cartridge 1 in chassis 1 and commits the transaction:
UCS-A# acknowledge cartridge-slot 1/1
UCS-A* # commit-buffer
UCS-A #
Physically remove the cartridge from its chassis before performing the following procedure.
| Command or Action | Purpose | |
|---|---|---|
| Step 1 |
UCS-A# remove cartridge chassis-num / cartridge-num |
Removes the specified cartridge from the specified chassis. |
| Step 2 |
UCS-A# commit-buffer |
Commits the transaction to the system configuration. |
The following example removes cartridge 1 in chassis 1 and commits the transaction:
UCS-A# remove cartridge 1/1
UCS-A* # commit-buffer
UCS-A #
If you physically re-install the cartridge, you must re-acknowledge the cartridge to have Cisco UCS Manager rediscover the cartridge.
| Command or Action | Purpose |
|---|---|
|
UCS-A# show cartridge status [detail] |
