Connectors I/O ports support SFP+ 10 Gb Ethernet connections. There is also a console connection for use by Cisco diagnostic technicians. It is not intended for customer use.
Overview Fan Modules 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.
Overview Power Supplies ◦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. To configure redundancy, see the Configuration Guide for the version of Cisco UCS Central that you are using.
Overview LEDs Note An n+1 redundant system has either two or three power supplies, which may be in any slot. Grid Redundancy 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.

CHAPTER 2 Installation This chapter contains the following sections: • Installation Notes and Warnings for the Cisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis, page 29 • Installing the Chassis, page 35 • Repacking the Chassis, page 51 • SFP+ Transceivers, page 51 Installation Notes and Warnings for the Cisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis The following notes and warnings apply to all installation tasks: Note Warning Before you install, operate, or service the system, see the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for Ci
Installation Rack Requirements 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.
Installation Airflow Considerations 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 After 253898 Before Airflow Considerations Airflow through the chassis is from front to back.
Installation Moving Server Chassis Moving Server Chassis When lifting the chassis, be aware of its weight, and follow these guidelines: 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.
Installation Required Equipment 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 due to fluctuating data traffic patterns. • Ensure that circuits are sized according to local and national codes. For North America, the power supply requires a 20 A circuit.
Installation Attaching the Round Hole Adapter Kit to the Rails (Optional) • ESD wrist strap • Cables with connectors (including the N20-BKVM=, which is the KVM/local I/O console dongle) • Any optional items ordered Step 3 Verify that all unused blade slots and power supply bays have blank covers. Attaching the Round Hole Adapter Kit to the Rails (Optional) Note The chassis tool-less rails are designed for racks that have square mounting holes.
Installation Installing the Chassis Step 4 Repeat steps 1to 3 for the other three adapters. Installing the Chassis This section describes how to install the chassis. This two part process consists of installing the rails into the rack and then installing the chassis into the rack and on to the rails. Caution Never attempt to lift the chassis by using an installed module’s handle as a grip point. only use the handles on the sides of the chassis.
Installation Installing the Rails Installing the Rails Procedure Step 1 Step 2 Remove the mounting template (Cisco 78-19093-01) from the accessory box. The template is designed to show you the proper holes within which the rails and cage nuts should be placed. Once the rack holes line up with the template, you should mark the holes so that their position is known after removing the template.
Installation Installing the Rails The following figure shows a rail mounted into a rack in the proper position with respect to a rack-unit boundary. Measurements are in inches between the centers of the holes. 192518 Figure 18: Installing Tool-less Chassis Support Rails into the Rack Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Press down firmly on the rail until the hooks seat firmly and securely into the holes, and the spring clip latches into place. Follow the same procedure to install the other rack rail.
Installation Installing the Rails plates. The next two cage nuts are installed into the fifth holes above the first cage nut. Finally, the two cage nuts are installed into the fourth holes above the second cage nuts.
Installation Installing the Round Hole Adapter Kit Cage nuts . .500 .625 .625 .250 Right rail 192730 Left rail Step 8 Remove all power supplies, fan assemblies, server blades, and fabric extenders to lighten the chassis. Even with devices removed, the chassis weighs 90 lbs (40.83 kg).
Installation Installing the Round Hole Adapter Kit Procedure Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Remove the mounting template (Cisco 78-19093-01) from the accessory box. The template is designed to show you the proper holes within which the rails and cage nuts should be placed. Once the rack holes line up with the template, you should mark the holes so that their position is known after removing the template.
Installation Installing the Round Hole Adapter Kit Step 5 Follow the same procedure to install the other rack rail as shown below. 279774 Figure 22: Round Hole Adapter and Rails Installed in a Rack Step 6 Step 7 Use a tape measure and level to verify that both rack rails are horizontal and at the same height. Remove all power supplies, fan assemblies, server blades, and I/O modules to lighten the chassis. Even with devices removed, the chassis weighs 90 lbs (40.83 kg).
Installation Inserting the Chassis into the Rack Inserting the Chassis into the Rack Procedure Step 1 With the help of another person (or special lifting equipment), lift the chassis and place it on the mounting rail as shown. Figure 23: Mounting Rail Weight Distribution (Square Hole Mount Shown) NON-WEIGHT BEARING SURFACECHASSIS SHOULD NOT BE RIDING ON THIS SURFACE Caution 192518 Weight bearing surface. Chassis should be riding on this surface.
Installation Inserting the Chassis into the Rack Step 2 Step 3 Slide the chassis into the rack until the front flange is flat against the cage nuts. (Cage nuts are not needed in round hole racks.) Using the six Phillips round washer head screws and the cage nuts (used in square hole installations), secure the chassis by its flanges to the rack as shown.
Installation Connecting a DC 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 only two power supplies (PS) are in a redundant- mode chassis, they should be in slots 1 and 3. Slot and cord connection numbering is shown below.
Installation Connecting a DC Power Supply Warning A readily accessible two-poled disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring. Statement 1022 Warning Use copper conductors only. Statement 1025 Warning This product requires short-circuit (overcurrent) protection, to be provided as part of the building installation. Install only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations.
Installation Connecting a DC Power Supply Note The positive and negative wires can be installed pointing either to the right or to the left as long as the terminal cover is used. The figure below shows them pointed to the right. Panduit LCD4-14A-L connectors may be used for the supply and return wires, and Panduit LCD4-14AF-L or equivalent connectors may be used for the 90-degree ground lug wire. Both connections have double lugs with .25 inch holes measuring .625 inches from center to center.
Installation 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 Connect the other end of the power wires to a DC-power input source. Step 9 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.
Installation Proper FEX and Fabric Interconnect Port Connectivity 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.
Installation Proper FEX and Fabric Interconnect Port Connectivity The following figure shows an invalid connection from a FEX to two separate fabric interconnects.
Installation Removing the Chassis from a Rack ports on the fabric interconnect, the expansion modules are never used for direct chassis connections, they are used for uplink or SAN connections.
Installation Repacking the Chassis Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Disconnect the power cords and networking cables from the chassis. Remove all modules and blades from the chassis to lighten its weight. Remove the screws holding the front rack-mount flange to the rack. With two people holding the chassis, make sure that its weight is fully supported. Gently slide the chassis off the rails, and out of the rack. Replace the modules and blades in the server chassis.
Installation Optical SFP+ Transceivers The figure below shows the SFP-H10GB-CU5M transceiver. The rubber loop is used for removing the SFP+ from its port on the I/O module. 187492 Figure 30: SFP+ 10 Gb Twinax Copper Transceiver Optical SFP+ Transceivers If distances greater than 10 meters (33 feet) must be spanned, the FEX also supports the substitution of the copper SFP+ by optical SFP+ transceivers.
Installation Replacing a Copper Twinax SFP+ Transceiver with an Optical SFP+ Transceiver Replacing a Copper Twinax SFP+ Transceiver with an Optical SFP+ Transceiver Procedure Step 1 Remove the copper Twinax SFP+ from the FEX port by pulling gently on the rubber loop. The cable and SFP+ transceiver come out as a single unit, leaving the FEX port empty. 192627 Figure 31: Removing a Twinax Copper SFP+ Transceiver Step 2 Step 3 Insert the optical SFP+ transceiver into the FEX port.

Installing and Removing Components Installing a Power Supply Installing a Power Supply All power supply models (N20-PAC5-2500W, UCSB-PSU-2500ACPL, or UCSB-PSU-2500DC48) install using the same process. Procedure Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Place the power supply’s handle in the up position.
Installing and Removing Components 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.
Installing and Removing Components Installing and Removing a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) Installing and Removing a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) Caution The Power Distribution Unit should only be replaced by a Cisco certified technician. This section is for reference only. Caution You can not hot swap a PDU (N01-UAC1). The entire chassis will need to be shut down and all power cords should be unplugged before attempting this procedure.
Installing and Removing Components Removing a PDU Removing a PDU Procedure Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Partially remove all installed power supplies. If a power supply is seated into the PDU, removal is difficult or impossible. Loosen the captive screws. Pull the PDU clear of the chassis by pulling on the captive screws. Support its weight from below.
Installing and Removing Components 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.
Installing and Removing Components Installing a FEX Installing a FEX Procedure Step 1 Step 2 Make sure that the two levers at the front of the FEX are pulled open. Slide the FEX into the chassis slot, ensuring that the FEX is fully seated. 192601 Figure 39: Positioning a 4 Port FEX within the Server Chassis 237202 Figure 40: Positioning an 8 Port FEX within the Server Chassis Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Close the levers and tighten the captive screw on each lever.
Installing and Removing Components Installing and Removing a Fan Module 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. Note When a fan is removed, louvers inside the chassis prevent recirculation of air into the system or loss of cooling.
Installing and Removing Components Removing a Fan Module Removing a Fan Module Procedure Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Hold the fan module by its handle. Press down on the spring latch at the top of the fan module. Pull the fan module clear of the chassis. Note The chassis is designed to have all fan modules in place and operating at all times. Do not leave a fan module bay empty for longer than is necessary to replace it with a new fan module.
