Procedure
Chapter 3 Installing the Server
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
Wait for approximately two minutes to let the server boot in standby power during the first bootup.
You can verify power status by looking at the Power Status LED (see the front panel illustrations in
Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-3):
• Off—There is no AC power present in the server.
• Amber—The server is in standby power mode. Power is supplied only to the CIMC 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
there are no external USB devices 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 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 using the supplied KVM cable connected to the KVM
connector on the front panel (see the front panel illustrations in
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.

Shutting Down and Powering Off the Server
The server can run in two power modes:
• Main power mode—Power is supplied to all server components and any operating system on your
drives can run.
• Standby power mode—Power is supplied only to the service processor and the cooling fans and it
is safe to power off the server from this mode.
You can invoke a graceful shutdown or an hard shutdown by using either of the following methods:
• Use the CIMC management interface.
Chapter 4 Replacing Hardware Components
• Use the Power button on the server front panel. To use the Power button, follow these steps:
Step 1 Check the color of the Power Status LED (see the “Cisco Connected Safety and Security UCS C240
LEDs and Buttons” section on page 1-15).
• Green—the server is in main power mode and must be shut down before it can be safely powered
off. Go to
• Amber—the server is already in standby mode and can be safely powered off. Go to Step 3.
