Step 2Install the slide rails onto the rack:
a. Position a slide-rail assembly inside the two left-side rack posts (see Figure 2-3).
b. Position the front mounting pegs so that they enter the desired front rack-post holes from the front.
NoteThe mounting pegs that protrude through the rack-post holes are designed to fit round or square holes,
or smaller #10-32 round holes when the mounting peg is compressed. If your rack has #10-32 rack-post
holes, align the mounting pegs with the holes and then compress the spring-loaded pegs to expose the
#10-32 inner peg.
c. Expand the length-adjustment bracket until the rear mounting pegs protrude through the desired

Connecting and Powering On the Server (Standalone Mode)
NoteThis 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 UCS integration, specific
cabling and settings are required. See Appendix D, “Installation for Cisco UCS Integration”.
The server is shipped with these default settings:
• The NIC mode is Shared LOM EXT.
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.
• The NIC redundancy is active-active. All Ethernet ports are utilized simultaneously.
• DHCP is enabled.
• Internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) is enabled.
Chapter 2 Installing the Server
Use the following procedure to perform initial setup of the server:
Step 1Attach the supplied power cord to the power supplies 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 power status by looking at the Power Status LED (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-1):
• Off—There is no AC power 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.
NoteDuring 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 2Connect a USB keyboard and VGA monitor to the server.

Step 3Open the Cisco IMC Configuration Utility:
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 Cisco IMC Configuration Utility. Note the
Figure 2-5Cisco IMC Configuration Utility Window 1 and Window 2 (Cisco IMC 2.0(1) and Later)
Initial Server Setup
differences between versions of Cisco IMC firmware:
–
In Cisco IMC 2.0(1) and later, there are two windows for this utility that you can switch between
by pressing F1 or F2 (see Figure 2-5 for sample windows). The IPv4 and IPv6 protocols and
dynamic domain name system (DDNS) are supported. You can also define a host name and a
DDNS domain.
–
In Cisco IMC earlier than release 2.0(1), there is only one window for this utility. Only the IPv4
protocol is supported. DDNS is not supported.
Step 4
Set NIC mode and NIC redundancy:
a. Set the NIC mode to your choice for which ports to use to access the Cisco IMC for server
management (see Figure 1-3 on page 1-3 for identification of the ports):
• Shared LOM EXT (default)—This is shared LOM extended mode. This is the factory-default
setting, along with Active-active NIC redundancy and 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 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.
• 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.
NoteThe Cisco Card NIC mode is currently supported only with a Cisco UCS VIC that is installed in
PCIe slot 1. See also Special Considerations for Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Cards, page 3-36.

Initial Server Setup
Step 5Choose whether to enable DHCP for dynamic network settings, or to enter static network settings.
Chapter 2 Installing the Server
b. 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 utilized simultaneously. See NIC Modes and NIC
Redundancy Settings, page 2-12 for more information.
NoteBefore 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 assigned to the Cisco IMC. The MAC address printed
on the label is the beginning of the range of six contiguous MAC addresses.
NoteIn Cisco IMC 2.0(1) and later, you can choose whether to use IPv4 or IPv6 IP addresses by
checking either the IPv4 or IPv6 check box.
The static IPv4 and IPv6 settings include:
• The Cisco IMC IP address.
• The prefix/subnet.
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 typing :: (two colons).
• The preferred DNS server address.
For IPv6, you can set this as none by typing :: (two colons).
Step 6Optional: Use this utility to make VLAN settings.
Step 7Continue with the next action based on which release of Cisco IMC your server is running:
• Cisco IMC earlier than release 2.0(1)—Skip to Step 14.
• Cisco IMC 2.0(1) and later—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 8Optional: Set a host name for the server.
Step 9Optional: Enable dynamic DNS and set a dynamic DNS (DDNS) domain.
Step 10Optional: If you select the Factory Default check box, the server will be set back to the factory defaults.
Step 11Optional: Set a default user password.
Step 12Optional: Enable auto-negotiation of port settings or set the port speed and duplex mode manually.
2-10
NoteAuto-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 13Optional: Reset port profiles and the port name.

Step 16Connect to the Cisco IMC interface for server management. Connect Ethernet cables from your LAN to
the server, using the ports that you selected by your NIC Mode setting in Step 4. The Active-active and
Active-passive NIC redundancy settings require you to connect to two ports.
Step 17Use 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).
NoteThe default user name for the server is admin. The default password is password.

NIC Modes and NIC Redundancy Settings
NIC Modes and NIC Redundancy Settings
This server has the following NIC mode settings that you can choose from:
• Shared LOM EXT (default)—This is shared LOM extended mode. This is the factory default setting,
along with Active-active NIC redundancy and 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. If the system determines that the Cisco card connection is getting its IP address
from a Cisco UCS Manager system, the reply has parameters that automatically move the server to
UCSM mode.
• Dedicated—The 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.
• 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.
Chapter 2 Installing the Server
NoteThe Cisco Card NIC mode is currently supported only with a Cisco UCS VIC that is installed in
PCIe slot 1. See also Special Considerations for Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Cards, page 3-36.
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 utilized simultaneously.
The active/active setting uses Mode 5 or Balance-TLB (adaptive transmit load balancing). This is
channel bonding that 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.
