Interconnect Features

A Cisco UCS 6100 series fabric interconnect is a top-of-rack fabric interconnect that provides Ethernet and Fibre Channel to all servers in the rack. Servers connect to the fabric interconnect, and it connects to the LAN or SAN.

This family of fabric interconnects connect UCS servers to 10 Gigabit Ethernet 1, 2, and 4 Gbps Fibre Channel networks, and provides consolidated I/O connectivity to both production Ethernet LANs and Fibre Channel SANs in a cost-effective, high-performance, low-latency environment.

The Cisco UCS 6100 series has the following characteristics:

• Depending on the model and expansion modules used, 20 to56 ports are on the back of the chassis.

The Cisco UCS 6120XP has 20 ports on the base system and can be upgraded with one expansion module. The Cisco UCS 6140XP has 40 ports on the base system and can be upgraded with two expansion modules.

• There are four expansion modules available for the Cisco UCS 6100 series: N10-E0080 (eight Fiber

Channel ports), N10-E0060 (six Fiber Channel ports), N10-E0600 (six 10-Gbps Ethernet ports), and N10-E0440 (four 10-Gbps Ethernet ports and four Fibre Channel ports).

• Two slots on the front of the chassis for hot swap-capable power supplies.

• Two slots on the front of the chassis for fan modules. Each fan module houses six fans. The

combination of six fans for each module and two modules provides the chassis with 12 fans.

Note Each new fabric interconnect requires a license. For information on licensing, see the Cisco UCS

Manager CLI Configuration Guide.

Preparing for Installation

This section describes how to install the Cisco UCS 6100 and contains the following topics:

• Installation Options, page 2-2

• Installation Guidelines, page 2-3

• Required Equipment, page 2-5

• Unpacking and Inspecting the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect, page 2-6

Installation Options

You can install the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect chassis in a perforated or solid-walled EIA cabinet or an open EIA rack (the Cisco R Series Rack is an ideal choice), using the rack-mount kit shipped with the chassis (N10-SACCA= or N10-SACCB=), for instructions on installing the chassis using the rack-mount kit shipped with the chassis, see the

a Cabinet or Rack” section on page 2-6.

Airflow Considerations

Airflow through the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect is from front to back. Air enters the chassis through the fan trays and power supplies mounted at the front of the chassis and exits the chassis through perforations on the rear 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.

When evaluating airflow requirements, take into consideration that hot air generated by equipment at the bottom of the rack can be drawn in the intake ports of the equipment above.

• Be sure to allow unobstructed exhaust air flow.

Chassis Weight

When lifting the system, follow these guidelines:

“Installing the Cisco UCS 6120XP Chassis in

• Disconnect all power and external cables before lifting the system.

• Have two people to lift the system. The Cisco UCS 6120XP weighs 35 pounds (15.9 kg). The Cisco

UCS 6140XP weighs 50 pounds (22.7 kg)

• 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.

Installation Guidelines

When installing the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect, follow these guidelines:

• Prepare the site as described in the Cisco UCS Site Preparation Guide.

• Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the chassis. Appendix C, “Site

Planning and Maintenance Records,” lists the recommended site planning tasks.

• Record the information listed in Appendix C, “Site Planning and Maintenance Records,” as you

install and configure the fabric interconnect.

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

(

Appendix A, “Technical Specifications,” lists airflow requirements).

• Ensure that the air conditioning meets the heat dissipation requirements listed in Appendix A,

“Technical Specifications.”

Note Jumper power cords are available for use in a cabinet. See the “Jumper Power Cord” section on

page B-8.

• Ensure that the chassis is adequately grounded. If the chassis is not mounted in a grounded rack, we

recommend connecting both the system ground on the chassis and the power supply ground to an earth ground.

• Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in Appendix A, “Technical

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

power failures.

Caution Avoid UPS types that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable

with systems such as the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect, which can have substantial current draw fluctuations because of fluctuating data traffic patterns.

• Ensure that circuits are sized according to local and national codes. For North America, the power

supply requires a 15-A or 20-A circuit.

Caution To prevent loss of input power, ensure the total maximum loads on the circuits supplying

power to the fabric interconnect are within the current ratings for the wiring and breakers.

• Use the following screw torques when installing the chassis:

–

Captive screws: 4 in-lb (0.45 N·m)

–

M3 screws: 4 in-lb (0.45 N·m)

–

M4 screws: 12 in-lb (1.36 N·m)

–

10-32 screws: 20 in-lb (2.26 N·m)

–

12-24 screws: 30 in-lb (3.39 N·m)

Proper Grounding Practices

Grounding is one of the most important parts of equipment installation. Proper grounding practices ensure that the buildings and the installed equipment within them have low-impedance connections and low-voltage differentials between chassis. When you properly ground systems during installation, you reduce or prevent shock hazards, equipment damage due to transients, and data corruption. lists some general grounding practice guidelines.

Grounding Recommendations

High All lightning protection devices

must be installed in strict accordance with manufacturer recommendations. Conductors carrying lightning current should be spaced away from power and data lines in accordance with applicable recommendations and codes. Best grounding recommendations must be closely followed.

High Best grounding

recommendations must be closely followed.

Medium to high Best grounding

recommendations must be closely followed.

Medium Determine source and cause of

noise if possible, and mitigate as closely as possible at the noise source or reduce coupling from the noise source to the affected equipment. Best grounding recommendations must be closely followed.

Low Electromagnetic noise problems

are not anticipated, but installing a grounding system in a new building is often the least expensive route and the best way to plan for the future. Best grounding recommendations should be followed as closely as possible.

Grounding the System

Send document comments to ucs-docfeedback@cisco.com

Note In all situations, grounding practices must comply with local National Electric Code (NEC)

requirements or local laws and regulations.

Note Always ensure that all of the modules are completely installed and that the captive installation screws

are fully tightened. In addition, ensure that all I/O cables and power cords are properly seated. These practices are normal installation practices and must be followed in all installations.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when modules or other devices are improperly handled, results in intermittent or complete failures. Modules consist of printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, always use an ESD grounding strap when handling modules.

For preventing ESD damage, follow these guidelines:

• Always use an ESD wrist strap and ensure that it makes maximum contact with bare skin.

• ESD grounding straps are available with banana plugs, metal spring clips, or alligator clips. All

Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect chassis are equipped with a banana plug connector (identified by the ground symbol next to the connector) somewhere on the front panel. We recommend that you use a personal ESD grounding strap equipped with a banana plug.

• If you choose to use the disposable ESD wrist strap supplied with most field-replaceable units or an

ESD wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip, you must attach the system ground lug to the chassis in order to provide a proper grounding point for the ESD wrist strap.

Note This system ground is also referred to as the network equipment building system (NEBS) ground.

• If your chassis does not have the system ground attached, you must install the system ground lug.

See

“Establishing the System Ground” section on page 2-17 for installation instructions and

location of the chassis system ground pads.

Note You do not need to attach a supplemental system ground wire to the system ground lug; the lug provides

a direct path to the bare metal of the chassis.

Before you install the system ground lug, follow these steps to correctly attach the ESD wrist strap:

Step 1 Attach the ESD wrist strap to bare skin as follows:

a. If you are using the ESD wrist strap supplied with the FRUs, open the wrist strap package and

unwrap the ESD wrist strap. Place the black conductive loop over your wrist and tighten the strap so that it makes good contact with your bare skin.

b. Open the package and remove the ESD wrist strap. Locate the end of the wrist strap that attaches to

your body and secure it to your bare skin.

Establishing the System Ground

This section describes how to connect a system ground to the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect.

Note This system ground is referred to as the network equipment building system (NEBS) ground.

You must use the NEBS ground on AC-powered systems if you are installing this equipment in a U.S. or European Central Office.

The NEBS ground provides additional grounding for EMI shielding requirements and grounding for the low-voltage supplies (DC-DC converters) on the modules, and is intended to satisfy the Telcordia Technologies NEBS requirements for supplemental bonding and grounding connections. You must observe the following system grounding guidelines for your chassis:

• You must install the NEBS ground connection with any other rack or system power ground

connections that you make. The system ground connection is required if this equipment is installed in a U.S. or European Central Office.

• You must connect both the NEBS ground connection and the power supply ground connection to an

earth ground. The NEBS ground connection is required if this equipment is installed in a U.S. or European Central Office.

• You do not need to power down the chassis because the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect

is equipped with AC-input power supplies.

Required Tools and Equipment

To connect the system ground, you need the following tools and materials:

• Grounding lug—A two-hole standard barrel lug. Supports up to 6 AWG wire. Supplied as part of

accessory kit.

• Grounding screws—Two M4 x 8mm (metric) pan-head screws. Supplied as part of the accessory kit.

• Grounding wire—Not supplied as part of accessory kit. The grounding wire should be sized

according to local and national installation requirements. Depending on the power supply and system, a 12 AWG to 6 AWG copper conductor is required for U.S. installations. Commercially available 6 AWG wire is recommended. The length of the grounding wire depends on the proximity of the chassis to proper grounding facilities.

• No. 1 Phillips head screwdriver.

• Crimping tool to crimp the grounding wire to the grounding lug.

• Wire-stripping tool to remove the insulation from the grounding wire.

• Password for the admin account. Choose a strong password that meets the guidelines for Cisco UCS

Manager passwords. This password cannot be blank.

• Management port IP address and subnet mask

• Default gateway IP address

• DNS server IP address (optional)

• Domain name for the system (optional)

Step 5 Connect a PC or laptop directly to the console port of the primary or standalone fabric interconnect. In

a cluster configuration, the primary will be the fabric interconnect that powers up first. The console port on the terminal should be set to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.

Step 6 If the fabric interconnect will be running in a cluster with another fabric interconnect, you will need to

connect ethernet cables between the L1 and L2 ports. Port L1 on fabric interconnect A connects to L1 on fabric interconnect B, and Port L2 on fabric interconnect A connects to L2 on fabric interconnect B. If the fabric interconnect and the UCS instance will be in standalone mode this will not be necessary.

Step 7 Connect the power cable to an AC power source. The system should power on as soon as you connect

the power cable.

Step 8 Listen for the fans; they should begin operating when you plug in the power cable. Step 9 After the system boots, verify that the LED operation is as follows:

• Fan module—Status LED is green.

• Power supply—Status LED is green.

• After initialization, the system status LED is green, indicating that all chassis environmental

monitors are reporting that the system is operational. If this LED is orange or red, one or more environmental monitor is reporting a problem.

• The Link LEDs for the Ethernet connector should not be on unless the cable is connected.

Note The link LEDs for the Fibre Channel ports remain yellow until the ports are enabled, and the

LED for the Ethernet connector port remains off until the port is connected.

Step 10 Try removing and reinstalling a component that is not operating correctly. If it still does not operate

correctly, contact your customer service representative for a replacement.

Preparing a Fabric Interconnect for Removal

Removing a standby fabric interconnect is non-disruptive to a UCS system. Removing an active fabric interconnect will cause the standby fabric interconnect to become active with minimal or no disruption.

Be aware that if you remove both the active and standby fabric interconnect from a UCS system, or the sole fabric interconnect from a standalone system, you are shutting down the entire UCS instance. Before doing this, perform the following tasks:

1. Perform a backup of your UCS Manager configuration as discussed in the “System Management“

section, “Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration” chapter of the UCS Manager configuration guide for your software release.

1. Use UCS Manager to shut down the OS on all servers in the UCS instance. Graceful shutdown of a

blade server is discussed in the “System Management“ section, “Managing Blade Servers” chapter of the UCS Manager configuration guide for your software release. The related CLI commands are:

UCS-A# scope org UCS-A /org # scope service-profile UCS-A /org/service-profile # power down

service-profile-name

2. Disable the Smart Call Home feature, as mentioned in the “System Monitoring” section,

“Configuring Call Home” chapter of the UCS Manager configuration guide for your software release. The related CLI commands are:

UCS-A# scope monitoring UCS-A /monitoring # scope callhome UCS-A /monitoring/callhome # disable

3. Decommision every attached chassis as described in the “System Management“ section, “Managing

the Chassis“ chapter of the UCS Manager configuration guide for your software release. The related CLI command is decommission-chassis chassis-num .

4. Power down every attached chassis as decribed in the installation chapter of the Cisco UCS 5108

emulation. The terminal emulation software (frequently an application such as HyperTerminal or Procomm Plus) makes communication between the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect and a computer possible during setup and configuration.

To connect the console port to a computer terminal, follow these steps:

Step 1 Configure the terminal emulator program to match the following default port characteristics: 9600 baud,

8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

Step 2 Connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port (see Figure 3-1) and the DB-9

connector to the computer serial port.

Note For configuration instructions, see the Cisco UCS Manager CLI Configuration Guide.

Connecting to the Ethernet Connector Port

Caution To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the management port to the network until the initial

configuration is complete. For configuration instructions, see the

Configuration Guide.

The Ethernet connector port has an RJ-45 interface.

To connect the Ethernet connector port to an external hub, switch, or router, follow these steps:

Step 1 Connect the appropriate modular cable to the Ethernet connector port:

• Use modular, RJ-45, straight-through UTP cables to connect the Ethernet connector port to an

Ethernet switch port or hub.

• Use a cross-over cable to connect to a router interface.

Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the device.

Connecting to an Ethernet Port

Use an SFP+ transceiver to connect to an Ethernet port.

Installing a Transceiver

To install a transceiver, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD wrist strap and follow its instructions for use. Step 2 Remove the dust cover from the port cage. Step 3 Remove the dust cover from the port end of the transceiver. Step 4 Insert the transceiver into the port:

• If the transceiver has a Mylar tab, position the transceiver with the tab on the bottom, and then gently

insert the transceiver into the port until it clicks into place.

• If the transceiver has a bale clasp, position the transceiver with the clasp on the bottom, close the

clasp by pushing it up over the transceiver, and then gently insert the transceiver into the port until it clicks into place.

Caution If the transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly positioned and the tab or

b. Press the release latch on the cable, grasp the connector near the connection point, and gently pull

the connector from the transceiver.

c. Insert a dust plug into the cable end of the transceiver.

Caution If the transceiver does not remove easily in the next step, push the transceiver completely in

and then ensure that the latch is in the correct position before continuing.

Step 3 Remove the transceiver from the port:

• If the transceiver has a Mylar tab latch, gently pull the tab straight out (do not twist), and then pull

the transceiver out of the port.

• If the transceiver has a bale clasp latch, open the clasp by pressing it downwards, and then pull the

transceiver out of the port.

Note If you cannot remove the SFP+ transceiver, reseat it by returning the bale clasp to the up position.

Press the SFP+ transceiver inward and upward into the cage. Next, lower the bale clasp and pull the SFP+ transceiver straight out with a slight upward lifting force. Be careful not to damage the port cage during this process.

Step 4 Insert a dust cover into the port end of the transceiver and place the transceiver on an antistatic mat or

into a static shielding bag if you plan to return it to the factory.

Step 5 If another transceiver is not being installed, protect the optical cage by inserting a clean cover.

Installing or Removing Cables into SFP or SFP+ Transceivers

Caution To prevent damage to the copper cables, do not place more tension on them than the rated limit and do

not bend to a radius of less than 1 inch if there is no tension in the cable, or 2 inches if there is tension in the cable.

Removing a Cable from a Transceiver

Caution When pulling a cable from a transceiver, grip the body of the connector. Do not pull on the jacket sleeve,

because this action can compromise the fiber-optic termination in the connector.

Caution If the cable does not remove easily, ensure that any latch present on the cable has been released before

continuing.

To remove the cable, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD wrist strap and follow its instructions for use. Step 2 Press the release latch on the cable, grasp the connector near the connection point, and gently pull the

connector from the transceiver.

Step 3 Insert a dust plug into the cable end of the transceiver. Step 4 Insert a dust plug onto the end of the cable.

Maintaining Transceivers and Cables

SFP+ transceivers must be kept clean and dust-free to maintain high signal accuracy and prevent damage to the connectors. Attenuation (loss of light) is increased by contamination and should be below 0.35 dB.

Consider the following maintenance guidelines:

• SFP+ transceivers are static sensitive. To prevent ESD damage, wear an ESD wrist strap that is

connected to the chassis.

• Do not remove and install transceivers more often than is necessary. Repeated removals and

installations can shorten its useful life.

• Keep all optical connections covered when not in use. If they become dusty, clean before using to

prevent dust from scratching the fiber-optic cable ends.

• Do not touch ends of connectors to prevent fingerprints and other contamination.

Overview

APPENDIX

Troubleshooting Hardware Components

This appendix describes how to identify and resolve problems that might occur with the hardware components of the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect. It includes the following sections:

• Overview, page D-1

• SNMP Traps, page D-1

• System Hardware Best Practices, page D-2

The key to success when troubleshooting the system hardware is to isolate the problem to a specific system component. The first step is to compare what the system is doing to what it should be doing. Because a startup problem can usually be attributed to a single component, it is more efficient to isolate the problem to a subsystem rather than troubleshoot each separate component in the system.

Problems with the initial power up are often caused by a module that is not firmly connected to the backplane or a power supply that has been disconnected from the power cord connector.

Overheating can also cause problems with the system, though typically only after the system has been operating for an extended period of time. The most common cause of overheating is the failure of a fan module.

SNMP Traps

You can set SNMP traps to monitor fans, power supplies, and temperature settings, or to test a call home application. Use the following commands to set SNMP traps:

• test pfmtest-SNMP-trap fan

• test pfmtest-SNMP-trap power supply

• test pfmtest-SNMP-trap temp-sensor

System Hardware Best Practices

Use the recommendations in this section to ensure the proper installation, initialization, and operation of the system. This section includes the following topics:

• Installation Best Practices, page D-2

• Initialization Best Practices, page D-2

• System Operation Best Practices, page D-2

Installation Best Practices

When installing the chassis, follow these best practices:

• Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the chassis.

• Verify that you have the appropriate power supplies for your chassis configuration.

• Install the chassis following the rack and airflow guidelines presented in this guide.

• Verify that the chassis is adequately grounded.

Initialization Best Practices

When the initial system boot is complete, verify the following:

• Power supplies are supplying power to the system.

• Fan modules are operating normally.

• The system software boots successfully. See the Cisco UCS Manager CLI Configuration Guide

appropriate to your software version.

System Operation Best Practices

To ensure proper operation of your system, take the following actions:

• Make a copy of the running configuration to CompactFlash for a safe backup.

• Never use the init system CLI command unless you understand that you will lose the running and

startup configuration as well as the files stored on bootflash:.
