    1 MCIO 21 PCIe x 16 MCIO 4 connector
    2 MCIO 32 PCIe x 16 MCIO 1 connector
    3 MCIO 43 PCIe x 16 MCIO 2 connector
    5 Stud (in between the nodes) Make sure the cables are routed around the stud as shown in the illustration.
  4. Disconnect the OSFP module cables from the network board on the GPU node.
    CAUTION
    • Hold the cable connector at 45 degree angle when inserting it into the port.

    • Have extremely precaution when reseating the connectors that have a 45 degree label on them as they are fragile and will get damage if not installed in the correct 45 degree angle.

  6. Remove the OSFP module.
    1. Insert a flat head screwdriver into the gap between the OSFP module and the OSFP module conduction plate; then, rotate the flat head screwdriver to release the OSFP module from the conduction plate.
    2. Carefully hold the OSFP module by its edges and keep the OSFP module at an angle. Then, remove it from the compute node.
