Features and Benefits

The Cisco UCS 5108 revolutionizes the use and deployment of blade-based systems. By incorporating unified fabric, integrated, embedded management, and fabric extender technology, the Cisco Unified Computing System enables the chassis to have fewer physical components, no independent management, and to be more energy efficient than traditional blade server chassis.

This simplicity eliminates the need for dedicated chassis management and blade switches, reduces cabling, and enables the Cisco Unified Computing System to scale to 40 chassis without adding complexity. The Cisco UCS 5108 chassis is a critical component in delivering the Cisco Unified Computing System benefits of data center simplicity and IT responsiveness.

Components

Cisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis

The Cisco UCS 5100 Series Blade Server Chassis is a scalable and flexible blade server chassis for today’s and tomorrow’s data center that helps reduce total cost of ownership. It is available configured for AC (N20-C6508) and DC (UCSB-5108-DC) power environments.

Is six rack units (6 RU) high and can mount in an industry-standard 19-inch rack with square holes (such as the Cisco R Series Racks) or in round hole racks when an adapter is used. The chassis can house up to eight half-width Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers and can accommodate both half- and full-width blade form factors.

Four single-phase, hot-swappable AC or DC power supplies are accessible from the front of the chassis. These power supplies can be configured to support nonredundant, N+1 redundant, and grid-redundant configurations. The rear of the chassis contains eight hot-swappable fans, four power connectors (one per power supply), and two I/O bays for I/O modules. A passive midplane provides up to an effective maximum of 20 Gbps of I/O bandwidth per server slot and up to 40 Gbps of I/O bandwidth for two slots, the midplane is built to eventually support 80 Gbps per slot.

Scalability is dependent on both hardware and software. For more information, see FEX Upgrade

Considerations, on page 63 and the appropriate UCS software release notes.

Adapter Cards

Depending on the model of server in question, one to three adapter cards will reside in each blade server, providing failover connectivity to each FEX in the chassis. The following models are available, and others are released on an ongoing basis:

Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card 1280

The Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card 1280 (UCS-VIC-M82-8P) is an eight-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)-capable mezzanine card designed exclusively for Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers. The card enables a policy-based, stateless, agile server infrastructure that can present up to 256 PCIe standards-compliant interfaces to the host that can be dynamically configured as either network interface cards (NICs) or host bus adapters (HBAs). In addition, the Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card 1280 supports Cisco Virtual Machine Fabric Extender (VM-FEX) technology, which extends the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect ports to virtual machines, simplifying server virtualization deployment.

Cisco UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Card

The Cisco UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Card is a virtualization-optimized Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) adapter card. The virtual interface card is a dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter card that supports

Cisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis Installation Guide

14 OL-20035-05

Overview

Adapter Cards

up to 128 Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) standards-compliant virtual interfaces that can be dynamically configured so that both their interface type (network interface card [NIC] or host bus adapter [HBA]) and identity (MAC address and worldwide name [WWNN]) are established using just-in-time provisioning. In addition, the Cisco UCS M81KR supports network interface virtualization and Cisco VN-Link technology.

The Cisco UCS M81KR is designed for both traditional operating system and virtualization environments. It is optimized for virtualized environments, for organizations that seek increased mobility in their physical environments, and for data centers that want reduced TCO through NIC, HBA, cabling, and switch reduction.

The Cisco UCS M81KR presents up to 128 virtual interfaces to the operating system on a given blade. The 128 virtual interfaces can be dynamically configured by Cisco UCS Manager as either Fibre Channel or Ethernet devices. Deployment of applications using multiple Ethernet and Fibre Channel interfaces is no longer constrained by the available physical adapters. To an operating system or a hypervisor running on a Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Server, the virtual interfaces appear as regular PCIe devices.

The Cisco UCS M81KR has built-in architectural support enabling the virtual machine to directly access the adapter. I/O bottlenecks and memory performance can be improved by providing virtual machines direct access to hardware I/O devices, eliminating the overhead of embedded software switches.

The Cisco UCS M81KR also brings adapter consolidation to physical environments. The adapter can be defined as multiple different NICs and HBAs. For example, one adapter card can replace two quad-port NICs and two single-port HBAs, resulting in fewer NICs, HBAs, switches, and cables.

Cisco UCS 82598KR-CI 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

The Cisco UCS 82598KR-CI 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter is based on the Intel 82598 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller, which is designed for efficient high-performance Ethernet transport. It provides a solution for data center environments that need low-latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet transport capability, and a dual-port connection to the midplane of the blade server chassis.

The Cisco UCS 82598KR-CI supports Intel Input/Output Acceleration Technology (I/OAT) as well as virtual queues for I/O virtualization. The adapter is energy efficient and can also help reduce CPU utilization by providing large segment offload (LSO) and TCP segmentation offload (TSO). The Cisco UCS 82598KR-CI uses Intel Virtual Machine Device Queue (VMDq) technology for the efficient routing of packets to the appropriate virtual machine.

Cisco UCS M71KR-E Emulex Converged Network Adapter

The Cisco UCS M71KR-E Emulex Converged Network Adapter (CNA) is an Emulex-based Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) adapter card that provides connectivity for Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers in the Cisco Unified Computing System.

Designed specifically for the Cisco UCS blades, the adapter provides a dual-port connection to the midplane of the blade server chassis. The Cisco UCS M71KR-E uses an Intel 82598 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller for network traffic and an Emulex 4-Gbps Fibre Channel controller for Fibre Channel traffic all on the same adapter card. The Cisco UCS M71KR-E presents two discrete Fibre Channel host bus adapter (HBA) ports and two Ethernet network ports to the operating system.

The Cisco UCS M71KR-E provides both 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 4-Gbps Fibre Channel functions using drivers from Emulex, providing:

Cisco UCS 2100 Series FEXes bring the unified fabric into the blade server enclosure, providing 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between blade servers and the fabric interconnect, simplifying diagnostics, cabling, and management.

The Cisco UCS 2104 (N20-I6584) extends the I/O fabric between the fabric interconnects and the Cisco UCS 5100 Series Blade Server Chassis, enabling a lossless and deterministic Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) fabric to connect all blades and chassis together. Because the FEX is similar to a distributed line card, it does not do any switching and is managed as an extension of the fabric interconnects. This approach removes switching from the chassis, reducing overall infrastructure complexity and enabling the Cisco Unified Computing System to scale to many chassis without multiplying the number of switches needed, reducing TCO and allowing all chassis to be managed as a single, highly available management domain.

The Cisco 2100 Series also manages the chassis environment (the power supply and fans as well as the blades) in conjunction with the fabric interconnect. Therefore, separate chassis management modules are not required.

Cisco UCS 2100 Series FEXes fit into the back of the Cisco UCS 5100 Series chassis. Each Cisco UCS 5100 Series chassis can support up to two FEXes, enabling increased capacity as well as redundancy.

Connectors

No LEDs are on the PDU.

No buttons are on the PDU.

The AC version of the PDU has four power connectors rated for 15.5 A, 200-240V @ 50-60 Hz. Only use Cisco approved power cords, different power cords are available for many countries and applications. See for more information about the supported power cords. See Supported AC Power Cords and Plugs, on page 74 for more information.

The DC version of the PDU has eight dual-post lug power connections, four positive and four negative. A single dual-post lug grounding connection is also provided.

Overview

Fan Modules

The chassis can accept up to eight fan modules (N20-FAN5). A chassis must have filler plates in place if no fan will be installed in a slot for an extended period.

LEDs

There is one LED indication of the fan module’s operational state. See Interpreting LEDs, on page 25 for details.

Buttons and Connectors

No buttons or connectors are on a fan module.

Power Supplies

Fan Modules

Different power supplies are available to work with the AC (N20-PAC5-2500W) or DC (UCSB-PSU-2500DC48) versions of the chassis. To determine the number of power supplies needed for a given configuration, use the Cisco UCS Power Calculator tool.

LEDs

Two LEDs indicate power connection presence, power supply operation, and fault states. See Interpreting

LEDs, on page 25 for details.

Buttons

There are no buttons on a power supply.

Connectors

The power connections are at the rear of the chassis on the PDU, with different types for AC or DC input. Four single-phase, hot-swappable power supplies are accessible from the front of the chassis. These power supplies can be configured to support non-redundant, N+1 redundant, and grid-redundant configurations.

Power Supply Redundancy

Power supply redundancy functions identically for AC and DC configured systems. When considering power supply redundancy you need to take several things into consideration:

Power supplies are all single phase and have a single input for connectivity to customer power source

•

(a rack PDU such as the Cisco RP Series PDU or equivalent).

The number of power supplies required to power a chassis varies depending on the following factors:

•

Cisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis Installation Guide

OL-20035-05 21

Power Supplies

To configure redundancy, see the Configuration Guide for the version of Cisco UCS Central that you are using. The configuration guides are available at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/

ps12502/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html.

Non-redundant Mode

In a non-redundant or combined mode, all installed power supplies are turned on and balance the load evenly. Smaller configurations (requiring less than 2500 W) can be powered by a single power supply when the system is using Cisco UCS Release 1.3(1) or earlier releases. However, a single power supply cannot provide redundancy and if either the power input or power supply fail, the system immediately shuts down. More common configurations require two or more power supplies (if requirements are between 2500 and 5000 W peak) in non-redundant mode.

When using Cisco UCS Release 1.4(1) and later releases, the chassis requires a minimum of 2 power supplies.

Overview

The total "Maximum Draw" required to power all the components configured within that

◦

chassis—such as I/O modules, fans, blade servers (CPU and memory configuration of the blade servers).

The Desired Power Redundancy for the chassis. The supported power configurations are

◦

non-redundant, N+1 redundancy (or any requirement greater than N+1), and grid redundancy.

Note

N+1 Redundancy

In a non-redundant system, power supplies can be in any slot. Installing less than the required number of power supplies results in undesired behavior such as server blade shutdown. Installing more than the required amount of power supplies may result in lower power supply efficiency. At most, this mode will require two power supplies.

The N+1 redundancy configuration implies that the chassis contains a total number of power supplies to satisfy non-redundancy, plus one additional power supply for redundancy. All the power supplies that are participating in N+1 redundancy are turned on and equally share the power load for the chassis. If any additional power supplies are installed, Cisco UCS Manager recognizes these “unnecessary” power supplies and places them on standby.

If a power supply should fail, the surviving supplies can provide power to the chassis. In addition, UCS Manager turns on any "turned-off" power supplies to bring the system back to N+1 status.

To provide N+1 protection, the following number of power supplies is recommended:

Three power supplies are recommended if the power configuration for that chassis requires greater than

•

2500 W or if using UCS Release 1.4(1) and later releases

Two power supplies are sufficient if the power configuration for that chassis requires less than 2500 W

•

or the system is using UCS Release 1.3(1) or earlier releases

Adding an additional power supply to either of these configurations will provide an extra level of protection. Cisco UCS Manager turns on the extra power supply in the event of a failure and restores N+1 protection.

Overview

Grid Redundancy

LEDs

An n+1 redundant system has either two or three power supplies, which may be in any slot.Note

The grid redundant configuration is sometimes used when you have two power sources to power a chassis or you require greater than N+1 redundancy. If one source fails (which causes a loss of power to one or two power supplies), the surviving power supplies on the other power circuit continue to provide power to the chassis. A common reason for using grid redundancy is if the rack power distribution is such that power is provided by two PDUs and you want the grid redundancy protection in the case of a PDU failure.

To provide grid redundant (or greater than N+1) protection, the following number of power supplies is recommended:

Four power supplies are recommended if the power configuration for that chassis requires greater than

•

2500W or if using Cisco UCS Release 1.4(1) and later releases

Two power supplies are recommended if the power configuration for that chassis requires less than

•

2500W or the system is using Cisco UCS Release 1.3(1) or earlier releases

LEDs

Note

Both grids in a power redundant system should have the same number of power supplies. If your system is configured for grid redundancy, slots 1 and 2 are assigned to grid 1 and slots 3 and 4 are assigned to grid 2. If there are only two power supplies (PS) in the a redundant mode chassis, they should be in slots 1 and 3. Slot and cord connection numbering is shown below.

Figure 11: Power Supply Bay and Connector Numbering

LEDs on both the chassis and the modules installed within the chassis identify operational states, both separately and in combination with other LEDs.

Rack Requirements

Installation

Warning

Only trained and qualified personnel must be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030

Rack Requirements

This section provides the requirements for installing in a standard open rack, assuming an external ambient air temperature range of 50 to 95°F (10 to 35°C):

Note

Do not use racks that have obstructions. These obstructions could impair access to field-replaceable units (FRUs).

The Cisco R Series Racks are an ideal choice. If other racks will be used, the rack must be of the following type:

Standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) four-post EIA rack, a minimum of 39.4 inches (100 cm) deep, with mounting

•

rails that conform to English universal hole spacing per section 1 of ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992.

The mounting holes of the rails in the rack must be square (unless the optional round hole adapter kit is

•

used).

The tool-less rack-mount kit shipped with the chassis is required. The adjustable rack rails shipped with

•

each enclosure extend from 29 inches (73.66 cm) to 35 inches (88.9 cm)

• Front and rear doors—If your server rack includes closing front and rear doors, the doors must have 65

percent open perforated area evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow.

Caution

The rack must also meet the following requirements:

The minimum available vertical rack space per chassis must be six RU (rack units), equal to 10.5 inches

•

(26.7 cm).

Cable Management

To help with cable management, allow additional space in the rack above and below the chassis to make it easier to route copper cables (plus up to eight copper cables per Cisco UCS 5108 server chassis) through the rack.

Cable management can be an important factor in preventing overheating issues. In the following figure, the “before“ illustration shows cables blocking the rear of the chassis, and preventing the fans from exhausting warm air from the chassis. This situation causes failed DIMMs in the blade servers, and seemingly random

Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the rack. This arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

server shutdowns when internal temperatures exceed specification. Use cable ties and other wiring practices to keep the rear of the chassis unobstructed as shown in the “after“ illustration.

Figure 14: Cable Management

Airflow Considerations

Airflow through the chassis is from front to back. Air enters the chassis through the blade servers and power supply grills at the front of the chassis and exits through the fan modules on the back of the chassis. To ensure proper airflow, follow these guidelines:

Maintain ambient airflow throughout the data center to ensure normal operation.

•

Consider the heat dissipation of all equipment when determining air-conditioning requirements. Do not

•

allow the exhaust of one system to be the intake for another system.

When evaluating airflow requirements, take into consideration that the hot air generated by equipment

•

at the bottom of the rack can be drawn in the intake of the equipment above.

Make sure that the exhaust at the rear of the chassis is unobstructed for at least 24 in. (61 cm). This

•

includes obstruction due to messy cabling practices.

Some blade servers ship with internal shrouds that are placed over the DIMMs and CPUs. They are used

•

to channel airflow to where it is needed the most. If a shroud can be used a given model, it should be used.

If an enclosed rack is used, the front door must be 65 percent perforated to ensure adequate airflow to

Caution

Do not try to lift the chassis using the handles on the side. These handles are intended only for moving and adjusting the chassis position.

• Never lift the chassis alone—Always use two people to lift the chassis. If available, use a scissor jack

or other lifting device designed for installing heavy equipment into data center racks.

Disconnect all power and external cables before lifting the chassis.

•

Remove all FEXes, power supplies, fans, and servers from the chassis before lifting.

•

Ensure that your footing is solid and the weight of the system is evenly distributed between your feet.

•

Lift the system slowly, keeping your back straight. Lift with your legs, not with your back. Bend at the

•

knees, not at the waist.

Do not remove the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) located at the back of the chassis.Caution

Installation Guidelines

When installing the chassis, follow these guidelines:

Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the chassis. See Site Planning and

•

Maintenance Records, on page 79 for the recommended site planning tasks. For details, see the Cisco UCS Site Preparation Guide.

Record the information listed in Site Planning and Maintenance Records, on page 79 as you install and

•

configure the chassis.

Ensure that there is adequate space around the chassis to allow for servicing the chassis and for airflow.

•

Ensure that the air-conditioning meets the heat dissipation requirements listed in Technical Specifications,

•

on page 69

Ensure that the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in Rack Requirements, on page 30.

•

Note

Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in Technical Specifications, on page

Step 1

Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5

Step 6

Procedure

Install the DC power supply in the chassis, making note of the bay number, so you are sure to connect the wiring to the appropriate terminals on the DC PDU at the chassis rear.

Verify that power is off to the DC circuit or circuits on the power supply that you are installing.

Ensure that all site power and grounding requirements have been met.

Remove the plastic cover from the DC terminals by squeezing the flanges at the top and bottom of the cover.

Connect the ground wires to the power supply terminal block, shown as a green wire below. Only one ground connection is required, though there may be up to four DC connections.

Connect the DC-input wires to the power supply terminal block. The proper wiring sequence is positive to positive (red wire), and negative to negative (black wire). The figure below shows a connection to terminal

Cabling Considerations for Fabric Port Channels

Step 7

Replace the terminal cover as shown. This cover should always be in place when power is applied to the terminals.

Step 8 Step 9

Connect the other end of the power wires to a DC-power input source.

Set the DC disconnect switch in the circuit to ON.

Caution

In a system with multiple power supplies, connect each power supply to a separate DC power source. In the event of a power source failure, if the second source is still available, it can maintain system operation.

Step 10

Step 11

Verify power supply operation by checking the power supply's front-panel LEDs. You should see the following:

The LED labeled INPUT OK is green.

•

The LED labeled OUTPUT FAIL is not lit.

•

Check the power supply and system status from the UCS console by entering the show system command or the show power command, do using the GUI. For more information on these commands, refer to the command reference for your software.

Cabling Considerations for Fabric Port Channels

When you configure the links between the Cisco UCS 2200 Series FEX and a Cisco UCS 6200 series fabric interconnect in fabric port channel mode, the available VIF namespace on the adapter varies depending on where the FEX uplinks are connected to the fabric interconnect ports.

Inside the 6248 fabric interconnect there are six sets of eight contiguous ports, with each set of ports managed by a single chip. When uplinks are connected such that all of the uplinks from an FEX are connected to a set of ports managed by a single chip, Cisco UCS Manager maximizes the number of VIFs used in service profiles deployed on the blades in the chassis. If uplink connections from an IOM are distributed across ports managed by separate chips, the VIF count is decreased.

Figure 27: Port Groups for Fabric Port Channels

Caution

Adding a second link to a fabric port channel port group is disruptive and will automatically increase the available amount of VIF namespace from 63 to 118. Adding further links is not disruptive and the VIF namespace stays at 118.

OL-20035-05 47

Cisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis Installation Guide

Proper FEX and Fabric Interconnect Port Connectivity

Installation

Caution

Linking a chassis to two fabric port channel port groups is disruptive and does not affect the VIF namespace unless it is manually acknowledged. The VIF namespace is then automatically set to the smaller size fabric port channel port group usage (either 63 or 118 VIFs) of the two groups.

For high availability cluster mode applications, symmetric cabling configurations are strongly recommended. If the cabling is asymmetric, the maximum number of VIFs available is the smaller of the two cabling configurations.

For more information on the maximum number of VIFs for your Cisco UCS environment, see the configuration limits document for your hardware and software configuration.

Proper FEX and Fabric Interconnect Port Connectivity

Note

The following illustrations are for example only; you do not need to skip available ports to provide future expansion room. See the UCS Manager configuration guide for FI port configuration considerations and limitations.

Observe the following guidelines:

When you connect the server chassis to the fabric interconnect, do not connect the FEXes to the fabric

•

interconnect’s expansion modules. While similar in appearance to the other ports on the fabric interconnect, the expansion modules are never used for direct chassis connections. They are typically used for SAN connectivity or network uplink.

All ports of a FEX must be connected to only one fabric interconnect. You must connect each fabric

•

interconnect to the chassis through its own FEX.

If you need to connect to a second fabric interconnect, do the following:

•

The chassis must have a second FEX installed.

◦

All ports of the second FEX must be connected to the second fabric interconnect only because the

◦

FEX is a fabric extender, which can only be connected to a single switch, or in this case, a fabric interconnect.

Removing a Power Supply

Note

Both grids in a power redundant system should have the same number of power supplies. If your system is configured for grid redundancy, slots 1 and 2 are assigned to grid 1 and slots 3 and 4 are assigned to grid 2. If there are only two power supplies in a redundant- mode chassis, they should be in slots 1 and 3. This would be a very unusual configuration, with a single B200 blade server in the chassis. A larger configuration would require two power supplies per grid. Slot and cord connection numbering is shown below.

Figure 37: Power Supply Bay and Connector Numbering (AC Version Shown)

Removing a Power Supply

Caution

Step 1 Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

If you are using the Cisco UCS 5108 server chassis with one power supply (this is only supported in earlier versions of the system software), removing the power supply will cause the servers and chassis to shut down. If you are using more than two power supplies, and you remove one of them, the servers continue to operate as long as the other power supplies are sufficient to meet the power requirements of the number of servers in the chassis.

Procedure

Loosen the captive screw on the front of the power supply.

Lift up the power supply’s handle to unseat the power supply.

Using the lever, pull the power supply from its slot. Place your other hand under the power supply to support it while you slide it out of the chassis.

Install a blank power supply filler panel (N20-CBLKP) if the power supply bay is to remain empty.

Installing and Removing FEXes

The chassis houses two FEXes (Cisco UCS 2104XP, UCS 2208XP, UCS 2204XP) that allow the blade servers in the chassis to communicate with Cisco UCS fabric interconnects. FEXes can have either four or eight I/O ports.

Note

FEX Upgrade Considerations

A FEX is sometimes referred to as an “I/OM” or IO Module.

Before you install a pair of UCS 2208XP FEXes to an existing UCS chassis using a pair of UCS 2104XPs, or add a new chassis with a pair of UCS 2208XP FEXes to a UCS instance you must perform a full upgrade to UCS software version 2.0(1) or later. The UCS 2208XP FEX is not recognized by earlier software releases.

Before you install a pair of UCS 2204XP FEXes to an existing UCS chassis using a pair of UCS 2104XPs, or add a new chassis with a pair of UCS 2204XP FEXes to a UCS instance you must perform a full upgrade to UCS software version 2.0(2) or later. The UCS 2204XP I/O Module is not recognized by earlier software releases.

Upgrading from a pair of UCS 2104XP to a pair of UCS 2200 series modules should be done first on the FEX connected to the standby Fabric Interconnect, standby should be made active, then the FEX connected to the new standby Fabric Interconnect can be upgraded.

If you are also performing an upgrade on the fabric interconnects, perform the upgrades separately. Attempting to upgrade both FEXes and fabric interconnects in a single process will likely complicate any reconfiguration needed on the FI ports.

Adding any M3 model blade server may require an upgrade from UCS 2104XP to UCS 2208 series FEXes. M3 blade servers use newer MLOM and adapter card models that are not fully compatible with the older FEX model.

Before you disconnect any data cables, make a record of which FEX ports are connected to which Fabric interconnect ports.

Cisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis Installation Guide

OL-20035-05 63

Removing a FEX

Configurations of 1, 2, 4, or 8 10 GB connections between FEX and Fabric interconnect are supported in UCS. If your UCS 2104XP has 4 physical connections and you want more, the next available upgrade step is the full 8 connections on the UCS 2208XP. You should verify that the FEX upgrade is completed with no problems before adding the connections for ports 5-8.

If you intend to implement the Fabric port channel feature available in UCS software version 2.0, you may need to rearrange the cabling between FEX and Fabric Interconnect before performing the feature configuration. Fabric port channel will require that all physical links from a given FEX physically connect to a contiguous block of ports (1 to 8 or 9 to 16, and so on). This feature requires a Cisco UCS M82-8P Virtual Interface Card in at least one blade server, and the UCS 2208XP FEX. See the Fabric Port Channel sections in the configuration guides for more details.

Removing a FEX

Procedure

Installing and Removing Components

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5

Installing and Removing a Fan Module

You can hot swap a fan module (N20-FAN5) without causing an electrical hazard or damage to the system. However, you can only remove one fan module while the system is operating. Removing more than one fan module could cause overheating.

Installing and Removing Components

Note

When a fan is removed, louvers inside the chassis prevent recirculation of air into the system or loss of cooling. However, you should not leave the chassis for extended periods of time without all fan modules in place.

Installing a Fan Module

Procedure

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Step 4

Hold the fan module with the spring latch at the top of the module.

Push the fan module into the chassis until it seats properly and the spring latch snaps into place.

Listen for the fans if the chassis is powered on. You should immediately hear it operating. If you do not hear it, ensure that the fan module is inserted completely in the chassis and the faceplate is flush with the outside surface of the chassis.

Verify that the LED behavior is as expected. See LED Locations, on page 24 and Interpreting LEDs, on

page 25.

Length: 14 ft 0 in. (4.26 m)

Connector: IEC 60320 C19

Plug: AU20S3

Supported AC Power Cords and Plugs

DC wiring must meet your local codes and regulations, we recommend using a licensed local electrician to install the DC wiring needed.

To determine the number of power supply units needed for the blade server, remember that each single slot server is budgeted a max 550 W and each full width server is budgeted a max 1100 W. For a more detailed estimate, contact Cisco Sales.

Supported AC Power Cords and Plugs

The AC power connectors on the blade server chassis PDU use an IEC 320 C20 socket. Each chassis power supply has a separate power cord. The power cord that you use to connect the blade server power supply units to an AC power source will have an IEC 320 C19 plug on one end and on the other end one that conforms to the AC power outlet specifications for your country. See the following table to determine which cord to order for your blade server chassis power supply units. When you determine which power cord you need to order, you can verify that its plugs conform to the power outlets for your facility by clicking on its reference link.

The jumper power cords, for use in racks, are available as an optional alternative to the standard power cords. The optional jumper power cords have an IEC C19 connector (such as a Cisco RP Series PDU) on the end that plugs into the chassis’ PDU and an IEC C20 connector on the end that plugs into an IEC C19 outlet receptacle. For more information, contact your Cisco Systems representative.
