Chapter 2 Installing the Server

Initial Server Setup

This section includes the following topics:

•Connecting and Powering on the Server (Standalone Mode), page 2-11

•NIC Modes and NIC Redundancy Settings, page 2-14

Connecting and Powering on the Server (Standalone Mode)

This section describes how to power on the server, assign an IP address, and connect to server

management when using the server in standalone mode. To use the server in a Cisco UCS integration,

specific cabling and settings are required. See Installation for Cisco UCS Integration, page E-1.

Note The server is shipped with a default NIC mode called Shared LOM EXT, default NIC redundancy is

active-active, and DHCP is enabled. Shared LOM EXT mode enables the 1-Gb Ethernet ports and the

ports on any installed Cisco virtual interface card (VIC) to access the Cisco Integrated Management

Interface (Cisco IMC). If you want to use the 10/100 dedicated management ports to access the Cisco

IMC, you can connect to the server and change the NIC mode as described in Step 4 of the following

procedure. In that step, you can also change the NIC redundancy and set static IP settings.

Step 1 Attach a supplied power cord to each power supply in your server, and then attach the power cord to a

grounded AC power outlet. See the Power Specifications, page A-2 for power specifications.

Wait for approximately two minutes to let the server boot in standby power during the first bootup.

You can verify the power status by looking at the Power Status LED (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-1):

•Off—No AC power is present in the server.

•Amber—The server is in standby power mode. Power is supplied only to the Cisco IMC and some

motherboard functions.

•Green—The server is in main power mode. Power is supplied to all server components.

Note During bootup, the server beeps once for each USB device that is attached to the server. Even if

no external USB devices are attached, there is a short beep for each virtual USB device such as

a virtual floppy drive, CD/DVD drive, keyboard, or mouse. A beep is also emitted if a USB

device is hot-plugged or hot-unplugged during a BIOS power-on self test (POST), or while you

are accessing the BIOS Setup utility or the EFI shell.

Step 2 Connect a USB keyboard and VGA monitor by connecting the supplied KVM cable to the KVM

connector on the front panel (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-1).

Note Alternatively, you can use the VGA and USB ports on the rear panel. However, you cannot use

the front panel VGA and the rear panel VGA at the same time. If you are connected to one VGA

connector and you then connect a video device to the other connector, the first VGA connector

is disabled.

Step 3 Connect Ethernet cables to the server ports or card ports that you want to use.

Cisco UCS C460 M4 Server Installation and Service Guide

OL-31215-01

Chapter 2 Installing the Server

Initial Server Setup

Step 4 Set NIC mode and NIC redundancy, and choose whether to enable DHCP or set static network settings:

a. Press the Power button to boot the server. Watch for the prompt to press F8.

b. During bootup, press F8 when prompted to open the BIOS Cisco IMC Configuration Utility.

c. Set the NIC mode to your choice for which ports to use to access the Cisco IMC for server

management (see Figure 1-2 on page 1-2 for identification of the ports):

•Shared LOM EXT (default)—This is shared LOM extended mode, which is the factory default. This

default includes Active-active NIC redundancy with DHCP enabled. With this mode, the shared

LOM and Cisco Card interfaces are both enabled.

In this mode, DHCP replies are returned to both the shared LOM ports and the Cisco card ports. If

the system determines that the Cisco card connection is not getting its IP address from a Cisco UCS

Manager system because the server is in standalone mode, further DHCP requests from the Cisco

card are disabled. Use the Cisco Card NIC mode if you want to connect to the Cisco IMC through

a Cisco card in standalone mode.

•Dedicated—The 1-Gb dedicated management port is used to access the Cisco IMC. You must select

a NIC redundancy and IP setting.

•Shared LOM—The 1-Gb Ethernet ports are used to access the Cisco IMC. You must select a NIC

redundancy and IP setting.

•Shared LOM 10G—The 10 Gb Ethernet ports are used to access the Cisco IMC. You must select a

NIC redundancy and IP setting.

•Cisco Card—The ports on an installed Cisco UCS virtual interface card (VIC) are used to access the

Cisco IMC. You must select a NIC redundancy and IP setting.

Note Cisco Card NIC mode is currently supported only with a Cisco UCS VIC that is installed in PCIe

slot 5 or 10. See also Special Considerations for Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Cards, page 3-48.

d. Use this utility to change the NIC redundancy to your preference. This server has three possible NIC

redundancy settings:

–

None—The Ethernet ports operate independently and do not fail over if there is a problem.

–

Active-standby—If an active Ethernet port fails, traffic fails over to a standby port.

–

Active-active—All Ethernet ports are used simultaneously. See NIC Modes and NIC

Redundancy Settings, page 2-14 for more information.

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

Note Before you enable DHCP, your DHCP server must be preconfigured 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 that are assigned to the Cisco IMC. The MAC address

printed on the label is the beginning of the range of six contiguous MAC addresses.

f. (Optional) Use this utility to make VLAN settings and to set a default Cisco IMC user password.

Note Changes to the settings take effect after approximately 45 seconds. Press F5 to refresh the

window and wait until the new settings appear before you reboot the server in the next step.

g. Press F10 to save your settings and reboot the server.

OL-31215-01

Chapter 2 Installing the Server

Initial Server Setup

Note If you chose to enable DHCP, the dynamically assigned IP and MAC addresses are displayed on

the console window during bootup.

Step 5 Use a browser and the IP address of the Cisco IMC to connect to the Cisco IMC Setup Utility. The IP

address is based upon the settings that you made in Step 4 (either a static address or the address assigned

by your DHCP server).

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

To manage the server, see the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Server Configuration Guide or the Cisco

UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Server CLI Configuration Guide for instructions on using those interfaces.

NIC Modes

This server has the following NIC mode settings that you can choose from:

•Shared LOM EXT (default)—This is shared LOM extended mode, which is the factory default. This

default includes Active-active NIC redundancy with DHCP enabled. With this mode, the shared

LOM and Cisco Card interfaces are both enabled.

In this mode, DHCP replies are returned to both the shared LOM ports and the Cisco card ports. If

the system determines that the Cisco card connection is not getting its IP address from a Cisco UCS

Manager system because the server is in standalone mode, further DHCP requests from the Cisco

card are disabled. Use the Cisco Card NIC mode if you want to connect to the Cisco IMC through

a Cisco card in standalone mode.

•Dedicated—The 1-Gb dedicated management port is used to access the Cisco IMC. You must select

a NIC redundancy and IP setting.

•Shared LOM—The 1-Gb Ethernet ports are used to access the Cisco IMC. You must select a NIC

redundancy and IP setting.

•Shared LOM 10G—The 10 Gb Ethernet ports are used to access the Cisco IMC. You must select a

NIC redundancy and IP setting.

•Cisco Card—The ports on an installed Cisco UCS virtual interface card (VIC) are used to access the

Cisco IMC. You must select a NIC redundancy and IP setting.

NIC Redundancy

This server has the following NIC redundancy settings that you can choose from:

•None—The Ethernet ports operate independently and do not fail over if there is a problem.

•Active-standby—If an active Ethernet port fails, traffic fails over to a standby port.

•Active-active—All Ethernet ports are used simultaneously.

The active/active setting uses Mode 5 or Balance-TLB (adaptive transmit load balancing). This

channel bonding does not require any special switch support. The outgoing traffic is distributed

according to the current load (computed relative to the speed) on each slave. Incoming traffic is

received by the current slave. If the receiving slave fails, another slave takes over the MAC address

of the failed receiving slave.

Warning

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to

hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)

that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not

operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.

Statement 1029

Caution When handling server components, wear an ESD strap to avoid electrostatic damage.

Caution This server weighs approximately 130 pounds (59 kilograms) when fully loaded with components. We

recommend that you use a minimum of two people when lifting the server. Attempting to lift the server

alone could result in personal injury or equipment damage.

This section includes the following topics:

•SAS/SATA Drive Population Guidelines, page 3-14

•Replacing a SAS or SATA Drive, page 3-15

SAS/SATA Drive Population Guidelines

The server can hold up to 12 SAS/SATA hard drives or solid state drives (SSDs). Figure 3-6 shows the

drive bays and the drive bay numbering.

All drive bays support SAS and SATA drives. Drive bays 5 and 9 also support NVMe PCIe SSDs.

Figure 3-6 Drive Bays and Drive Bay Numbering

1 Drive bays 5 and 9

These two bays support NVMe PCIe SSDs

and SAS/SATA drives.

3 Drive bays 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 12

When using the Cisco UCS 12G SAS Modular

8-Port RAID Controller (UCSC-MRAID12G),

the 8 SAS/SATA drives must be in these 8 drive

bays.

2 Drive bays 1–12

All bays support SAS and SATA drives.

When using the Cisco UCS 12G SAS

Modular 12-Port RAID Controller

(UCSC-MRAIDC460), you can control all

12 SAS/SATA drives.

Cisco UCS C460 M4 Server Installation and Service Guide

OL-31215-01

Chapter 3 Maintaining the Server

Replacing Server Components

Observe these drive population guidelines for optimum performance:

•When using the Cisco UCS 12G SAS Modular 12-Port RAID Controller (UCSC-MRAIDC460), you

can control all 12 SAS/SATA drives. You can populate all 12 drive bays with SAS/SATA drives.

•When using the Cisco UCS 12G SAS Modular 8-Port RAID Controller (UCSC-MRAID12G), the

eight SAS/SATA drives must be in bays 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 12, as shown in Figure 3-6.

See RAID Controller Cabling, page C-4 for information about cabling for specific bays and how

those bays are grouped.

•Keep an empty drive blanking tray in any unused slots to ensure proper airflow.

•You can mix hard drives and SSDs in the same server. However, you cannot configure a logical

volume (virtual drive) that contains a mix of hard drives and SSDs. When you create a logical

volume, it must contain all hard drives or all SSDs.

Replacing a SAS or SATA Drive

Tip You do not have to shut down the server or drive to replace SAS/SATA hard drives or SSDs because they

are hot-swappable. To replace an NVMe PCIe SSD drive, which must be shut down before removal, see

Replacing an NVMe PCIe SSD, page 3-17

For information about drive tray LEDs, see Front-Panel LEDs, page 3-2.

Step 1 Remove the drive that you are replacing or remove a blank tray from an empty bay:

a. Remove the front bezel from the server, if one is attached. See Removing or Replacing the Front

Bezel (Optional), page 3-9.

b. Press the release button on the face of the drive tray. See Figure 3-7.

c. Grasp and open the ejector lever and then pull the drive tray out of the slot.

d. If you are replacing an existing drive, remove the four drive tray screws that secure the drive to the

tray and then lift the drive out of the tray.

Step 2 Install a new drive:

a. Place a new drive in the empty drive tray and replace the four drive tray screws.

b. With the ejector lever on the drive tray open, insert the drive tray into the empty drive bay.

c. Push the tray into the slot until it touches the backplane, and then close the ejector lever to lock the

drive in place.

Replacing Memory Risers

Caution DDR4 memory risers are available for use with DDR4 DIMMs and EX v3 CPUs. You must upgrade to

Cisco IMC 2.0(6) or later firmware before you upgrade the hardware. See Special Information For

Upgrades to Intel Xeon v3 Series CPUs, page 3-29.

The 8 memory risers connect to motherboard sockets and each riser provides 12 DIMM slots. Each riser

has two memory buffers, each with two DDR channels of three DIMMs. The memory riser is

hot-pluggable when you use the Attention button to take the riser offline, as described in the procedure

in this section. (This feature is available only on supported operating systems. Some operating systems

support only hot-add, but not hot-remove.)

Note See the release notes for your operating system and your Cisco IMC/BIOS release for details and

restrictions on hot-plugging: Cisco IMC Release Notes.

Figure 3-9 Memory Riser LEDs (Top View)

Memory Riser Population Guidelines

Use the following guidelines when populating memory risers:

•Each CPU supports two memory risers.

•The minimum memory riser configuration is one riser installed on CPU1 or CPU2, with at least one

DIMM. The minimum DIMM capacity must meet the requirements of the OS installed.

•If not installing all memory risers, populate the even-numbered riser slots first to ensure optimum

CPU airflow.

The memory riser includes fault LEDs on its top panel (see Figure 3-9):

•If the memory riser fault LED is lit, replace the memory riser as described in Replacing a Memory

Riser, page 3-21.

•If one or more of the numbered DIMM fault LEDs are lit, replace the corresponding DIMMs on the

riser as described in Replacing DIMMs, page 3-23.

Replacing a Memory Riser

The qualified and supported part numbers for this component are subject to change over time. For the most

up-to-date list of replaceable components, see the following URL and then scroll to Technical Specifications:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10493/products_data_sheets_list.html

Step 1 Remove the memory riser that you are replacing (see Figure 3-10):

a. Slide the server out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover.

b. Remove the top cover as described in Removing or Replacing the Server Top Cover, page 3-10.

Caution Memory risers are hot-pluggable, which means that you do not have to remove power from the server,

but you must shut down the riser before removing it as described in the following steps.

c. Press the attention button on the top of the memory riser to shut down the riser in the BIOS (see

Figure 3-9).

d. Wait until the attention LED (ATTN) and the power LED (PWR) turn off.

e. Press both green riser-latch release buttons on the top of the riser (see Figure 3-10).

f. Lift on both riser latches at the same time. The lever action disengages the riser’s connector from

the motherboard socket.

g. Grasp the open retaining latches and lift the memory riser straight up and out of the server.

h. To remove DIMMs from the memory riser, use the instructions in Replacing DIMMs, page 3-23.

Step 2 Install a new memory riser:

Note When you install more than one memory riser, you must install and activate one riser at a time before

you install and activate the next riser. That is, do not attempt to install all risers and then activate them.

a. To install DIMMs to the new memory riser, use the instructions in Replacing DIMMs, page 3-23.

b. Ensure that the riser retaining latches are in the open position.

c. Align the riser with the empty motherboard socket and the card guides at each end of the riser (on

the chassis mid-brace and the rear of the fan cage).

d. Lower the riser until it makes contact with the motherboard socket.

e. Close each retaining latch at the same time to fully engage the riser with the motherboard socket.

f. Press the attention button on the top of the memory riser (see Figure 3-9), and then wait until the

attention LED (ATTN) turns off and the power LED (PWR) turns on.
