Installation Warnings and Guidelines

Note

Before you install, operate, or service a server, review the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for important safety information.

Warning

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. Use the statement number provided at the end of each warning to locate its translation in the translated safety warnings that accompanied this device.

Statement 1071

Warning

To prevent the system from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of: 35° C (95° F).

Statement 1047

Warning

The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times, because it serves as the main disconnecting device.

Statement 1019

Warning

Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.

Statement 1074

Warning

This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock, and key, or other means of security.

Statement 1017

Warning

This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (over current) protection. Ensure that the protective devices is rated not greater than 20A (North America), 16A (Europe),and 13A (UK).

Statement 1005

Caution

To ensure proper airflow it is necessary to rack the servers using rail kits. Physically placing the units on top of one another or “stacking” without the use of the rail kits blocks the air vents on top of the servers, which could result in overheating, higher fan speeds, and higher power consumption. We recommend that you mount your servers on rail kits when you are installing them into the rack because these rails provide the minimal spacing required between the servers. No additional spacing between the servers is required when you mount the units using rail kits.

Caution

Avoid uninterruptible power supply (UPS) types that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable with systems such as the Cisco UCS, which can have substantial current draw fluctuations from fluctuating data traffic patterns.

Caution

To prevent loss of input power, ensure the total maximum loads on the circuits supplying power to the switch are within the current ratings for the wiring and breakers.

When you are installing a server, use the following guidelines:

- Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the server.

- Ensure that there is adequate space around the server to allow for accessing the server and for adequate airflow. The airflow in this server is from front to back.

- Ensure that the air-conditioning meets the thermal requirements listed in the Environmental Specifications.

- Ensure that the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in the Rack Requirements.

- Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in the Power Specifications. If available, you can use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power failures.

Grounding Requirements

The switch is sensitive to variations in voltage supplied by the power sources. Overvoltage, undervoltage, and transients (or spikes) can erase data from memory or cause components to fail. To protect against these types of problems, ensure that there is an earth-ground connection for the switch. You can connect the grounding pad on the switch either directly to the earth-ground connection or to a fully bonded and grounded rack.

When you properly install the chassis in a grounded rack, the switch is grounded because it has a metal-to-metal connection to the rack. Alternatively, you can ground the chassis by using a customer-supplied grounding cable that meets your local and national installation requirements (we recommend 6-AWG wire for U.S. installations) connected to the chassis with a grounding lug (provided in the switch accessory kit) and to the facility ground.

Note

You automatically ground AC power supplies when you connect them to AC power sources. For DC power supplies, you must connect a grounding wire when wiring the power supply to the DC power source.

Rack Requirements

The rack must be of the following type:

- A standard 19-in. (48.3-cm) wide, four-post EIA rack, with mounting posts that conform to English universal hole spacing, per section 1 of ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992.

- The rack-post holes can be square 0.38-inch (9.6 mm), round 0.28-inch (7.1 mm), #12-24 UNC, or #10-32 UNC when you use the Cisco-supplied slide rails.

- The minimum vertical rack space per server must be one rack unit (RU), equal to 1.75 in. (44.45 mm).

Supported Cisco Slide Rail Kits

The server supports the following rail kit options:

- Cisco part UCSC-RAIL-M6= (ball-bearing slide rail kit)

- Cisco part UCSC-CMA-C220M6= (cable management arm)

Rack Installation Tools Required

The slide rails sold by Cisco Systems for this server do not require tools for installation.

Slide Rail and Cable Management Arm Dimensions

The slide rails for this server have an adjustment range of 24 to 36 inches (610 to 914 mm).

The optional cable management arm (CMA) adds additional length requirements:

- The additional distance from the rear of the server to the rear of the CMA is 5.4 inches (137.4 mm).

- The total length of the server including the CMA is 35.2 inches (894 mm).

Installing the Server in a Rack

Warning

To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

Before you begin

Note

To configure the system remotely, you must have a DHCP server on the same network as the system. Your DHCP server must be preconfigured with the range of MAC addresses for this server node. The MAC address is printed on a label that is on the pull-out asset tag on the front panel. This server node has a range of six MAC addresses assigned to the Cisco IMC. The MAC address printed on the label is the beginning of the range of six contiguous MAC addresses.

Procedure

Step 1

Attach a power cord to each power supply in your server, and then attach each power cord to a grounded power outlet.

Wait for approximately two minutes to let the server boot to standby power during the first bootup. You can verify system power status by looking at the system Power Status LED on the front panel. The system is in standby power mode when the LED is amber.

Step 2

Plug your management Ethernet cable into the dedicated management port on the rear panel.

Step 3

Allow your preconfigured DHCP server to assign an IP address to the server node.

Step 4

Use the assigned IP address to access and log in to the Cisco IMC for the server node. Consult with your DHCP server administrator to determine the IP address.

Note

The default user name for the server is admin. The default password is password.

Step 5

From the Cisco IMC Server Summary page, click Launch KVM Console. A separate KVM console window opens.

Step 6

From the Cisco IMC Summary page, click Power Cycle Server. The system reboots.

Step 7

- Non-alphabetic characters !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *, -, _, =, “

Step 9

Continue with Setting Up the System With the Cisco IMC Configuration Utility.

Setting Up the System With the Cisco IMC Configuration Utility

Before you begin

The following procedure is performed after you connect to the system and open the Cisco IMC Configuration Utility.

Procedure

Step 1

Set the NIC mode to choose which ports to use to access Cisco IMC for server management. Cisco IMC for APIC appliance only supports dedicated mode:

- Dedicated—The dedicated management port is used to access Cisco IMC. You must select the None NIC redundancy setting in the following step.

Step 2

Set the NIC redundancy to none, which is the only supported option for dedicated NIC mode:

- None—The Ethernet ports operate independently and do not fail over if there is a problem. This setting can be used only with the Dedicated NIC mode.

Step 3

Choose whether to enable DHCP for dynamic network settings, or to enter static network settings.

Note

Before you enable DHCP, you must preconfigure your DHCP server with the range of MAC addresses for this server. The MAC address is printed on a label on the rear of the server. This server has a range of six MAC addresses assigned to Cisco IMC. The MAC address printed on the label is the beginning of the range of six contiguous MAC addresses.

The static IPv4 and IPv6 settings include the following:

- The Cisco IMC IP address.

For IPv6, valid values are 1 - 127.

- The gateway.

For IPv6, if you do not know the gateway, you can set it as none by entering :: (two colons).

- The preferred DNS server address.

For IPv6, you can set this as none by entering :: (two colons).

Step 4

(Optional) Make VLAN settings.

Step 5

Press F1 to go to the second settings window, then continue with the next step.

From the second window, you can press F2 to switch back to the first window.

Step 6

(Optional) Set a hostname for the server.

Step 7

(Optional) Enable dynamic DNS and set a dynamic DNS (DDNS) domain.

Step 8

(Optional) If you check the Factory Default check box, the server reverts to the factory defaults.

Step 9

(Optional) Set a default user password.

Note

The factory default username for the server is admin. The default password is password.

Step 10

(Optional) Enable auto-negotiation of port settings or set the port speed and duplex mode manually.

Note

Auto-negotiation is applicable only when you use the Dedicated NIC mode. Auto-negotiation sets the port speed and duplex mode automatically based on the switch port to which the server is connected. If you disable auto-negotiation, you must set the port speed and duplex mode manually.

Step 11

(Optional) Reset port profiles and the port name.

Step 12

Press F5 to refresh the settings that you made. You might have to wait about 45 seconds until the new settings appear and the message, “Network settings configured” is displayed before you reboot the server in the next step.

Step 13

Press F10 to save your settings and reboot the server.

Note

If you chose to enable DHCP, the dynamically assigned IP and MAC addresses are displayed on the console screen during bootup.

What to do next

Use a browser and the IP address of the Cisco IMC to connect to the Cisco IMC management interface. The IP address is based upon the settings that you made (either a static address or the address assigned by your DHCP server).

Note

The factory default username for the server is admin. The default password is password.

Network Interface Card Considerations

This section describes network interface card (NIC) support and considerations for Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) APIC M4/L4.

The following supported network interface cards must be inserted to PCIe Riser 01 for Cisco APIC M4/L4.

- APIC-P-I8D25GF (2 x 10/25G SFP28)

- APIC-P-ID10GC (2 x 10GBase-T)

- APIC-PCIE-C25Q-04 (2 x 10GBase-T)

The following virtual interface cards are also supported:

- Cisco VIC 1455 (4 × 10/25G SFP28)

Note

The supported network interface cards have following considerations:

- 10/25GbE ports on Cisco VIC 1455 and APIC-P-I8D25GF can be used as either 10G or 25G ports. All ports must have the same speed.

- 25G connectivity between Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) leaf and Cisco APIC M4/L4 must use copper cable when APIC-P-I8D25GF network interface cards are used. For example, Cisco SFP-H25G-CU1M.

- 25G connectivity between the Cisco ACI leaf and Cisco APIC M4/L4 can use either copper or fiber cables when APIC-PCIE-C25Q-04/Cisco VIC 1455 network interface cards are used.

Please see the list of transceiver options: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/interfaces-modules/transceiver-modules/datasheet-c78-736950.html.

- APIC-P-ID10GC supports 10G Base-T connectivity to Cisco APIC leaf nodes.

- The Cisco VIC 1455 has 4 ports: port-1, port-2, port-3, and port-4, from left to right.

- Port 1 and port 2 is one pair, corresponding to eth2-1 on Cisco APIC. Port 3 and port 4 is another pair, corresponding to eth2-2 on Cisco APIC. Only one connection is allowed for each pair. For example, you can connect one cable to either port 1 or port 2, and you can connect another one cable to either port 3 or port 4. Do not connect two cables on any pair.
