  • Page 1 1/21/2011). The procedures in this document apply to both versions. The Cisco UCS B200 is a half-width blade with 12 DIMM slots; it supports one adapter. You may install up to eight UCS B200 Blade Servers to a UCS chassis.
  • Page 2 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 3 The KVM cable (N20-BKVM shown in Figure 2) provides a connection into a Cisco UCS blade server, providing a DB9 serial connector, a VGA connector for a monitor, and dual USB ports for a keyboard and mouse. With this cable you can create a direct connection to the operating system and the BIOS running on a blade server.
