Use native HP/IBM documents for instructions on installing the rail kits.

If you require rail kits for a different rack type (such as telco racks or HP or IBM proprietary racks), order that directly

from IBM or HP. Cisco does not provide SKUs for rail kits.

g. Fan Modules

Cisco does not provide SKUs for fan spares on the latest Cisco MCS 7800 models. Order these direct from

the server vendor using exact part numbers at www.cisco.com/go/swonly . h. Power Supplies

Cisco does not provide SKUs for power supply spares on the latest Cisco MCS 7800 models. . Order these direct

from the server vendor using exact part numbers at www.cisco.com/go/swonly .

Cisco supports Direct Current (DC) power supplies on select IBM server configurations purchased as

“Software-only” from IBM. See www.cisco.com/go/swonly for more details. i. Power Cords

Note: At this time Cisco MCS 7800 does not support Direct Current (DC) power supplies, only Alternating Current

(AC) power supplies. DC power supplies affect features such as environmental instrumentation, auto-restart

behavior, and UPS integration, and therefore are not supported.

In the SKUs for the Cisco MCS 7800, Cisco provides options for configuring AC power cords for various countries,

and these cords will ship with the MCS (either one or two depending on the number of power supplies used by the

Cisco MCS 7800 model). IBM may also ship additional power-cord types with some of its models.

Customers requiring a different power-cord type (such as hooded power cords, or male/female connector variants for

hookup to a UPS) should consult HP/IBM directly for what is supported. The power cords are available from HP/IBM

as well as several third parties. Cisco does not provide SKUs for these power-cord variants.

j. Service Processors

MCS 7835/45-I3 and MCS 7816/25/28-I5 have partial support for IBM’s Integrated Management Module (IMM)

service processor.

• MCS 7835/45-I3 ship with this hardware.

• MCS 7816/25/28-I5 do NOT ship with this hardware. Customers may order direct from IBM and install

themselves.

• UC apps have no integration with IMM firmware, software, licensing or user interfaces.

• IMM feature support by UC is limited to remote console and remote power management. Other features

such as remote media are not supported.

• Above support includes Software-only equivalents based on IBM x3650-M2 and x3250-M3 as described at
