Chapter 2 Installing the Server

Initial Server Setup

Initial Server Setup

This section contains the following topics:

•Connecting and Powering On the Server (Standalone Mode), page 2-9

•NIC Modes and NIC Redundancy Settings, page 2-12

Connecting and Powering On the Server (Standalone Mode)

Note This 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 Installation for Cisco UCS Integration, page D-1.

Note The server is shipped with a default NIC mode called Shared LOM, default NIC redundancy is active-active, and DHCP is enabled. Shared LOM mode enables the two 1-Gb Ethernet ports to access the Cisco Integrated Management Interface (CIMC). If you want to use the 10/100 management ports or a Cisco network adapter card port to access the CIMC, you must first connect to the server and change the NIC mode as described in Step 3 of the following procedure. In that step, you can also change the NIC redundancy and set static IP settings.

Use the following procedure to perform initial setup of the server.

Step 1 Attach a power cord to each power supply in your server, and then attach the power cord to a grounded AC power outlet. See the “Power Specifications” section on 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 on the front panel (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-1 or Figure 1-2 on page 1-2):

•Off—The server is not receiving power. Check the power cord connections and the power source of the facility.

•Blinking green—The server is in standby power mode. Power is supplied only to the service processor and some motherboard functions.

•Solid green—The server is in main power mode. Power is supplied to all server components.

Note During 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.

Chapter 2 Installing the Server

Initial Server Setup

Step 2 Use the supplied KVM cable to connect a keyboard and VGA monitor to the console connector on the front panel (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-1 or Figure 1-2 on page 1-2).

Note Alternatively, you can use the VGA and USB ports on the rear panel. However, you cannot use the front panel console connector VGA and the rear panel VGA at the same time. If you are connected to one VGA connector and you then connect a video device to the other connector, the first VGA connector is disabled. You can then reactivate the first VGA connector only by rebooting the server.

Step 3 Set NIC mode, NIC redundancy, and choose whether to enable DHCP or set static network settings:

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 BIOS CIMC Configuration Utility.

c.Set the NIC mode to your choice for which ports you want to use to access the CIMC for server management (see Figure 1-3 on page 1-3 for identification of the ports):

–Dedicated—The 10/100 management port is used to access the CIMC. You have to select a NIC redundancy and IP setting.

–Shared LOM (default)—The two 1Gb Ethernet ports are used to access the CIMC. This is the factory default setting, along with Active-active NIC redundancy and DHCP enabled.

–Cisco Card—The ports on an installed Cisco network adapter card are used to access the CIMC. You have to select a NIC redundancy and IP setting.

Note The Cisco Card NIC mode is currently supported only with a Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card (N2XX-ACPCI01) that is installed in PCIe slot 6 (see Figure 3-22 on page 3-36). See also Special Considerations for the Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card (N2XX-ACPCI01), page 3-37.
