Cisco UCS C460 Server Installation and Service Guide
OL-22326-01
Chapter 2 Installing the Server
Initial Server Setup
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 to use to access the CIMC for server management
(see
Figure 1-3 on page 1-2 for identification of the ports):
– Dedicated—The two 10/100 management ports are 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.
– Shipping—The two 10/100 management ports are used to access the CIMC, but each port has a
default setting:
Port M1—DHCP is enabled, with no NIC redundancy.
Port M2—Static IP address is 10.1.1.7, with no NIC redundancy.
– Shared LOM 10G—The two 10Gb Ethernet ports are used to access the CIMC. You have to
select a NIC redundancy and IP setting.
Note See Using the 10 Gb Ports, page 2-12 for more information about the SFP+ and
10G Base-T ports.
– 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.
