C-Series 3160 and 3260 Rack Servers
Procedure
Step 1 Connect Cables.
a) Connect KVM Cable to Server Node 1 Console Port (top server node for both 3160 and 3260) – used for
initial (F8) CIMC configuration.
b) For 3160: Connect 1-Gb Ethernet Cable to SIOC-1 dedicated management port (left SIOC module) –
used for launching KVM window through CIMC after initial IP address configuration.
c) For 3260: Connect 1-Gb Ethernet Cable to SIOC-1 (left SIOC module) dedicated management port (not
console port) and1-Gb Ethernet Cable to SIOC-2 (right SIOC module) dedicated management port (not
console port) used for launching KVM window through CIMC after initial IP address configuration.
Step 2
Configure CIMC IP Address
a) Power on the system by pressing the front panel power button for 4 seconds.
b) Connect Keyboard/Video/Mouse to KVM connector. Reboot server node and choose<F8>Cisco IMC
Configuration to enter CIMC Configuration Utility.
c) Configure IP address information utilizing Dedicated NIC Mode (Shared LOM method is not available
on 3160/3260) and NIC Redundancy set to None, and uncheck DHCP enabled if IP address will be
entered manually.
d) Choose <F10> to save CIMC IP configuration.
Step 3 Verify Firmware and Ethernet Link Status
Connect by means of a browser to the UCS 3160 or 3260 Management IP address and verify consistent
firmware across components/nodes/platforms.
• For the 3260: Launching KVM console access through CIMC Management GUI is not available until
• For the 3160/3260: Connect the Ethernet ports from the SIOCs to the rack network infrastructure and

• LED Amber = Standby Power
• LED Green = On
• For 3160: Single Server Node; Single IP address applies only to server node 1 management IP.
• For 3260: Single or Dual Server Node; Single IP address applies to both server node 1 and server
node 2 management IP.
IP addresses are assigned to Server 1 BMC-1 and CMC-1 and Server 2 (if installed) BMC-2 and CMC-2.
BMC-1/2 and CMC-1/2 IP Addresses are assigned in the CIMC Management GUI in the
Admin\Networking tab. The Single IP address initially configured in the <F8> Cisco IMC Configuration
Utility is still utilized for CIMC GUI management.
verify that the link lights on the SIOC Ethernet ports are green.
