Cisco UCS E-Series Server Modules Hardware Installation Guide
DETAILED STEPS
Restarting the E-Series Server
If the oir-stop command was issued and the module was not physically removed from the slot, you can
restart the E-Series Server with the oir-start command. From a console terminal issue the hw-module
sm {slot} oir-start command. The console displays a output showing the module changing states. See
the following output:
Router# hw-module sm 2 oir-start
Router#
*Mar 8 05:40:19.195: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface ucse2/0, changed state to up
*Mar 8 05:40:20.195: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface ucse2/0, changed
state to up
Inserting the E-Series Server
The Cisco ISR G2 router that is up and running can detect when a device is inserted in the SM slot and
will automatically provide power to the E-Series Server.
Installing or Replacing Hard Disk Drives on the E-Series Servers
The double-wide E-Series Servers can be ordered with two or three hard disk drives (HDD) or solid-state
drive (SSD) installed. The double-wide E-Series Servers support the following Redundant Array of
Independent Disks (RAID) configuration:
• RAID 0 (data striping): Data is stored evenly in stripe blocks across all disks in the array, providing
fast throughput. There is no data redundancy, and all data is lost if any disk fails.
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1
enable
Example:
Router> enable
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2
ucse slot shutdown
Example:
Router# ucse 4 shutdown
Shuts down the E-Series Server gracefully.
Note Before proceeding with the next command, verify
that the E-Series Server has shutdown. The Power
LED turns orange when the UCSE server has shut
down or use the Cisco Integrated Management
Controller to verify that the UCSE server has
powered down.
Step 3
hw-module sm slot oir-stop
Example:
Router# hw-module sm 4 oir-stop
SM Hardware slot 4 can be removed
Shuts down power to the specified module to prepare it for
removal.
The router displays a message similar to the following
example when it is safe to remove the module.
Note Before removing the E-Series Server, verify that
power to the slot has been removed. The power LED
should be off.
