Cisco UCS B22 M3 Blade Server The UCS B22 M3 blade server is a half-width blade with 12 DIMM slots; it supports one dedicated slot for Cisco's Virtual Interface Card (VIC) 1240, and one open adapter slot. You may install up to eight UCS B22 Blade Servers to a UCS chassis, or mix with other UCS blade servers. - Page 3 12 V main power and goes to standby power state. You cannot shut down standby power from the front-panel power button. See the Cisco UCS Manager Configuration Guide for information about completely powering off the server from the software interface.

Page 4: Buttons
The power button allows you to manually take a server temporarily out of service but leave it in a state where it can be restarted quickly. If the desired power state for a service profile associated with a blade 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 unexpectedly shut down at a later time. -

URL:http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/servers-unified-computing/ ucs-b-series-blade-servers/datasheet-listing.html Before upgrading or adding a drive 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. To prevent ESD damage, wear grounding wrist straps during these procedures. -

Push the hard drive lever into the closed position. You can use Cisco UCS Manager to format and configure RAID services. For details, see the Configuration Guide for the version of Cisco UCS Manager that you are using.

Figure 5: Positioning a Blade Server in the Chassis Step 2 Open the ejector lever in the front of the blade server. Step 3 Gently slide the blade into the opening until you cannot push it any farther.

Page 10: Secure Digital Cards
Do not mix different capacity cards in the same server. Note Due to technical limitations, if the server is running a Cisco UCS Manager version earlier than release 2.2(3a) with the 32-GB SD card, only 16-GB usable capacity is available (regardless of mirroring) in the server. -

Page 13: Working Inside The Blade Server
Installing a CMOS Battery All Cisco UCS blade servers use a CR2032 battery to preserve BIOS settings while the server is not installed in a powered-on chassis. Cisco supports the industry standard CR2032 battery that is available at most electronics stores. - Page 14 CPU from one server to another, or to replace a faulty CPU. The CPUs supported in this blade server are constantly being updated. A list of currently supported and available CPUs is in the specification sheets at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/servers-unified-computing/ucs-b200-m3-blade-server/model.html#DataSheets Removing a CPU and Heat Sink Caution The CPU pick and place tool is required to prevent damage to the connection pins between the motherboard and the CPU.
- Page 15 Step 2 Remove the heat sink (UCSB-HS-01-EP). See callout 2 in the following figure. Remove the existing thermal compound from the bottom of the heat sink using the cleaning kit (UCSX-HSCK= ) included with each CPU option kit. Follow the instructions on the two bottles of cleaning solvent. Step 3 Unhook the socket hook.

- Page 17 Procedure Step 1 (Optional) If you are installing a CPU in a socket that had been shipped empty, there will be a protective cap intended to prevent bent or touched contact pins. The pick and pull cap tool provided can be used in a manner similar to a pair of tweezers.

- Page 20 Step 6 Close the socket latch. See callout 1. Step 7 Secure the hook. See callout 2. Step 8 Using the syringe of thermal grease provided with replacement CPUs and servers (and available separately as UCS-CPU-GREASE=), add 2 cubic centimeters of thermal grease to the top of the CPU where it will contact the heat sink.
- Page 21 Memory Arrangement Keep in mind the following rules when adding DIMMs to this server: • Only use Cisco-provided DIMMs. • Mixing different speed DIMMs causes the server to set the memory speed to that of the slowest installed DIMMs. • If memory mirroring is used, the total memory capacity is reduced by 50%.
- Page 22 The following figure shows how DIMMs and channels are physically laid out on the blade server. The DIMM slots in the upper right are associated with CPU 2, while the DIMM slots in the lower left are associated with CPU 1. Figure 16: Numbering of DIMMs and Channels The memory in the upper right cannot communicate with the memory in lower left, unless both CPUs are Note...
- Page 23 Each CPU in a Cisco UCS B22 blade server supports 3 channels of 2 memory slots each. In a 1 DPC configuration, DIMMs are in slot 0 only. In a 2 DPC configuration, DIMMs are in both slot 0 and slot 1. The table below shows the preferred order for installing upgrade DIMMs, and while other configurations may work if problems arise moving them to the preferred arrangement should help.
- Page 24 Installing an mLOM Adapter You must remove the adapter card to service it. Note To install a Cisco VIC 1240 or VIC 1340 in the blade server, follow these steps: Procedure Step 1 Position the VIC board connector above the motherboard connector and align the captive screw to the standoff post on the motherboard.
- Page 25 If you are switching from one type of adapter card to another, before you physically perform the switch make sure that you download the latest device drivers and load them into the server’s operating system. For more information, see the firmware management chapter of one of the Cisco UCS Manager software configuration guides. Procedure...

Removing an adapter card is the reverse of installing it. You might find it helpful when removing the connector from the motherboard to gently rock the board along the length of the connector until it loosens. Figure 19: Installing an Adapter Card Installing and Enabling a Trusted Platform Module The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a component that can securely store artifacts used to authenticate the server. - Page 27 TPM installation is supported after-factory. However, a TPM installs with a one-way screw and cannot Note be replaced or moved to another server. If a server with a TPM is returned, the replacement server must be ordered with a new TPM. Procedure Step 1 Install the TPM hardware.
