UCS240 server hardware

[SharonJoseph18339]

Hello,

   I have questions about UCS240 server . It is M5 rack server . When i was upgrading hardware , accidently , the PCi slot frame , has gone inside partly and stay there . Will it cause any problem to the running server. ?

It is only the frame that lean inside of the server , no PCi card installed . It is an empty slot with covered frame on rear side of the server. 

Will it cause any issue to the server if it stays inside ?

If you are talking about the blanking panel that goes on the PCIE slot, no it will not cause any immediate issues, however, you should look towards opening the server and securing it back in place during your next maintenance window. These blanking panels keep air flowing correctly inside of the server and help to maintain temperature.

Hei,

Thank you for the reply. 

  I don't know the name. If we need to install a pci card, we remove that and insert the pci card.

Hei again, 

  It is the blanking plate for covering up unused server expansion bay slots.
