    If the desired power state for a service profile associated with a blade server or an integrated rack-mount server is set to "off", using the power button or Cisco UCS Manager to reset the server will cause the desired power state of the server to become out of sync with the actual power state and the server may unexpected shutdown at a later time.

  • Page 5: Storage Module

    Storage Module The Cisco UCS B200 M4 blade server has an optional storage module that can be configured with SAS or SATA hard drives or solid state disks (SSDs). Because the UCS B200 M4 can be used without disk drives, it does not necessarily come with the storage module installed.

    You can remove and install blade server hard drives without removing the blade server from the chassis. The drives supported in this blade server come with the drive sled attached. Spare drive sleds are not available. A list of currently supported drives is in the specification sheets at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10280/products_data_sheets_list.html...
  • Page 8 Before upgrading or adding an HDD to a running system, check the service profile in Cisco UCS Manager and make sure the new hardware configuration will be within the parameters allowed by the service profile. Caution To prevent ESD damage, wear grounding wrist straps during these procedures and handle modules by the carrier edges only.

A list of currently supported and available DIMMs is in the specification sheets at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10280/products_data_sheets_list.html Cisco does not support third-party memory DIMMs, and in some cases their use may irreparably damage the server and require an RMA and down time.
  • Page 21 Memory Arrangement The blade server contains 24 DIMM slots—12 for each CPU. Each set of 12 DIMM slots is arranged into four channels, where each channel has three DIMMs. Figure 16: Memory Slots In the Blade Server Channels A-D for CPU 1 Channels E-H for CPU 2 DIMMs and Channels Each channel is identified by a letter—A, B, C, D for CPU1, and E, F, G, H for CPU 2.

    Slot 1 is for the VIC 1340 or VIC 1240 cards. Slot 2 is for the VIC 1380 and VIC 1280 cards, and can also be used for the VIC port expander, third-party CNA cards, and non-I/O mezzanine cards, such as Fusion IO. The VIC 1340 and VIC 1380 require a Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnect, and they support the Cisco Nexus 2208XP and 2204XP Fabric Extender (FEX) modules.

    Enabling a Trusted Platform Module The Trusted Platform Module (TPM, Cisco Product ID UCSX-TPM2-001) is a component that can securely store artifacts used to authenticate the server. These artifacts can include passwords, certificates, or encryption keys. A TPM can also be used to store platform measurements that help ensure that the platform remains trustworthy.
