Cisco SNS 3500 Series Appliance Overview
Cisco SNS 3500 Series Appliances
The Cisco SNS 3515 or Cisco SNS 3595 appliance is designed for performance and density over a wide range
of business workloads, from web serving to distributed databases.
Cisco ISE, Release 2.0.1 is available on SNS 3515 and SNS 3595 platforms.
Note
The SNS 3515 and SNS 3595 appliances support only Cisco ISE 2.0.1 or later releases. You cannot install
a release earlier than 2.0.1 on the SNS 3515 or SNS 3595 appliance.
Support for UEFI Secure Boot
The SNS 3515 and SNS 3595 appliances support the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) secure
boot feature. This feature ensures that only a Cisco-signed ISE image can be installed on the SNS 3515 and
SNS 3595 appliances, and prevents installation of any unsigned operating system even with physical access
to the device. For example, generic operating systems, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Microsoft Windows
cannot boot on this appliance.

Internal Diagnostic LEDs
The server has internal fault LEDs for CPUs, DIMMs, fan modules, SD cards, the RTC battery, and the mLOM
card. These LEDs are available only when the server is in standby power mode. An LED lights amber to
indicate a faulty component.
Power must be connected to the server for these LEDs to be operate.Note

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: 40° C (104° F).
Statement 1047
Warning: The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times, because it serves as the main
disconnecting device.
Statement 1019
This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that the
protective device is rated not greater than: 250 V, 15 A.
Statement 1005
Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.
Statement 1074
When you are installing a server, use the following guidelines
Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the server. See the Cisco UCS Site
•
Preparation Guide for the recommended site planning tasks.
Ensure that there is adequate space around the server to allow for servicing the server and for adequate
•
airflow. The airflow in this server is from front to back.

Install Cisco ISE Software on the SNS 3515 and SNS 3595 Appliances
Ensure that the air-conditioning meets the thermal requirements listed in the Server Specifications, on
•
page 13.
Ensure that the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in the Rack Requirements, on page 13.
•
Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in the Power Specifications, on page
•
15. If available, you can use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power failures.
Unpack and Inspect the Server
Caution
Avoid 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.
Unpack and Inspect the Server
Caution
Note
When handling internal server components, wear an ESD strap and handle modules by the carrier edges
only.
Keep the shipping container in case the server requires shipping in the future.Note
The chassis is thoroughly inspected before shipment. If any damage occurred during transportation or any
items are missing, contact your customer service representative immediately.
To inspect the shipment:
Step 1
Step 2
Remove the server from its cardboard container and save all packaging material.
Compare the shipment to the equipment list provided by your customer service representative and the list given below.
Verify that you have all items.
Step 3
Check for damage and report any discrepancies or damage to your customer service representative. Have the following
information ready:
