To prevent the system from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum
recommended ambient temperature of: 35° C (95° F).

Statement 1047

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

rack-mounted. To ensure proper air flow it is necessary to rack the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA
Appliances using the provided rail kits. Physically placing the units on top of one another or “stacking”
without the use of the rail kits blocks the air vents on top of the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliances,
which could result in overheating, higher fan speeds, and higher power consumption. It is recommended
that you mount your Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliances on the rail kits when installing them into
the rack because these rails provide the minimal spacing required between the Cisco UCS Invicta
C3124SA Appliances. No additional spacing between the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliances is
required when you mount the units using the provided rail kits.

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.

Preparing for Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance Installation

When you are installing a Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance, use the following guidelines:

• Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA

Appliance. See the Cisco UCS Site Preparation Guide for the recommended site planning tasks.

• Ensure that there is adequate space around the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance to allow for

servicing the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance and for adequate airflow. The airflow in this
Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance is from front to back.

• Ensure that the air-conditioning meets the thermal requirements listed in the C3124SA Appliance.

• Ensure that the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in the “Rack Requirements” section on

page 2-4.

• Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA

Appliance Specifications. If available, you can use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect

against power failures.

Rack Requirements

This section provides the requirements for the standard open racks.

The rack must be of the following type:

• A standard 19-in. (48.3-cm) wide, four-post EIA rack, with mounting posts that conform to English

universal hole spacing, per section 1 of ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992.

Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance

• The rack post holes can be square 0.38-inch (9.6 mm), round 0.28-inch (7.1 mm), #12-24 UNC, or

#10-32 UNC when you use the supplied slide rails.

• The minimum vertical rack space per Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance must be two RUs,

equal to 3.5 in. (88.9 mm).

Equipment Requirements

The slide rails supplied by Cisco Systems for this Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance do not require
tools for installation if you install them in a rack that has square 0.38-inch (9.6 mm), round 0.28-inch
(7.1 mm), or #12-24 UNC threaded holes. The inner rails are pre-attached to the sides of the Cisco UCS
Invicta C3124SA Appliance.

However, if you install the slide rails in a rack that has #10-32 round holes, a bladed screwdriver is
required to remove the larger square/round mounting pegs from the front of the slide rails.

Slide Rail Adjustment Range

The slide rails for this Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance have an adjustment range of 26 to 36
inches (660 to 914 mm).

Installing the Slide Rails

Warning

To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special
precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure
your safety:

This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component
at the bottom of the rack.
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

Statement 1006

To install the slide rails and the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance into a rack, follow these steps:

Step 1 Install the slide rails into the rack (see Figure 2-1):

a. Align the slide-rail assembly inside the rack posts with the length-adjustment bracket (Figure 2-1,

item 4) toward the rear of the rack.

b. Compress the length-adjustment bracket until the mounting pegs (item 5) and locking clips (item 6)

engage the desired rack holes on the front and rear rack posts.

–

The mounting pegs fit square 0.38-inch (9.6 mm), round 0.28-inch (7.1 mm), or #12-24 UNC
threaded holes. They fit the shape of the hole when the pegs are compressed.

–

The smaller #10-32 round mounting pegs are enclosed in the center of the compressible rear
pegs. However, to use the #10-32 pegs, you must use a bladed screwdriver to remove the
square/round front pegs.

d. Pull the inner slide rails on each assembly out toward the rack front until they hit the internal stops

and lock in place.

Step 2 Insert the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance into the slide rails (see Figure 2-2):

Caution This Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance weighs approximately 60 pounds (28 kilograms) when

fully loaded with components. We recommend that you use a minimum of two people when lifting the
Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance. Attempting this procedure alone could result in personal injury
or equipment damage.

Note The inner rails are pre-attached to the sides of the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance at the

factory. You can order replacement inner rails if these are damaged or lost (Cisco PID
UCSC-RAIL-2U-I).

a. Align the inner rails that are attached to the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance sides with the

front ends of the empty slide rails.

b. Push the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance into the slide rails until it stops at the internal

stops.

c. Push in the slide rail locking clip (item 2) on each inner rail, and then continue pushing the Cisco

UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance into the rack until its front flanges latch onto the rack posts.

CIMC Setup and Configuration

The CIMC is factory configured using the dedicated CIMC Management Port (see Item 7, Figure 1-2 on

page 1-2). This is designed to prevent conflicts with the Invicta Storage OS. The devices are shipped

from the factory with the following configuration:

• IP address: 10.100.100.1

• Mask: 255.255.255.0

• Username: admin

• Password: d3m0n0w!

Customer CIMC Installation

To set up CIMC, do the following:

3 Slide rail assembly on rack post

Step 1 Configure a local machine on the 10.100.x IP address.
Step 2 Browse to 10.100.100.1 IP address and login in using the following credentials:

• IP address: 10.100.100.1

• Mask: 255.255.255.0

• Username: admin

Powering On

Step 1 Attach a supplied power cord to each power supply in your Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance, and

Use the following procedure to power on the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance:

then attach the power cord to a grounded AC power outlet. See the Physical Specifications, page A-1 for
power specifications.

Wait for approximately two minutes to let the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance boot in standby
power during the first bootup.

You can verify power status by looking at the Power Status LED (see Figure 1-3 on page 1-3):

• Off—There is no AC power present in the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance.

• Amber—The Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance is in standby power mode. Power is supplied

only to the CIMC and some motherboard functions.

• Green—The Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance is in main power mode. Power is supplied to

all Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance components.

Note During bootup, the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance beeps once for each USB device that

is attached to the Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance. 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. Connect a USB keyboard and VGA monitor by using the
supplied KVM cable connected to the KVM connector on the front panel (see Figure 1-3 on

page 1-3).
