Cisco UCS C200 Server Installation and Service Guide
OL-20732-02
Appendix D Installation for Cisco UCS Integration
Installing a Release 1.2(2) or Later Server for Cisco UCS Integration
Required Items
The hardware configuration described in this procedure provides redundant network fabrics and paths
for both management traffic and data traffic. The following items are required to create this
configuration.
• A Cisco UCS C-Series server with a 10 Gb adapter card installed.
Note If you install a Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card (N2XX-ACPCI01), see Special
Considerations for the Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card (N2XX-ACPCI01), page 3-27.
• Two Cisco UCS 6100 Series fabric interconnects. The switch ports that carry server traffic must be
enabled as server ports.
• Two Cisco Nexus 2248 fabric extenders.
Note You must plug a power cord into each of the two power supplies in the fabric extender. If a power
supply is not connected to power, you might see “Major” faults reported during power-on self
test (POST). For example,
Power supply 1 in fex 6 power: error. You can clear these errors
by connecting the missing power cord to the fabric extender power supply.
• Two RJ45 Ethernet cables.
• Four 10 Gb SFP cables.
Procedure
Use the following procedure to connect the Cisco UCS C200 server to the Cisco UCS environment and
power it on.
Step 1 Install the server into your rack. See Installing the Server Into a Rack, page 2-4.
Step 2 Connect the management traffic paths (see Figure D-1):
a. Connect an RJ45 Ethernet cable between 1Gb port Eth1 on the rear panel of the server and a port on
a fabric extender in Fabric A. You can use any port on the fabric extender.
b. Connect an RJ45 Ethernet cable between 1Gb port Eth2 on the rear panel of the server and a port on
a fabric extender in Fabric B. You can use any port on the fabric extender.
c. Connect a 10 Gb SFP cable between fabric extender A and a port on fabric interconnect A. You can
use any port on fabric interconnect A, but the port must be enabled for server traffic.
d. Connect a 10 Gb SFP cable between fabric extender B and a port on fabric interconnect B. You can
use any port on fabric interconnect B, but the port must be enabled for server traffic.
Step 3 Connect the data traffic paths (see Figure D-1):
a. Connect a 10 Gb SFP cable between the 10 Gb adapter card in the server and a port on fabric
interconnect A. You can use any port on fabric interconnect A, but the port must be enabled for
server traffic.
b. Connect a 10 Gb SFP cable between the 10 Gb adapter card in the server and a port on fabric
interconnect B. You can use any port on fabric interconnect B, but the port must be enabled for
server traffic.
