Cisco UCS B200 M3 Blade Server Installation and
Service Note
The Cisco UCS B200 M3 (shown in
two CPU sockets using Intel E5-2600 series CPUs and up to 24 DIMMs; it supports one modular LOM
(dedicated slot for Cisco's Virtual Interface Card) and one mezzanine adapter. At this time, the UCS
B200 M2 (second generation) server is still available and is documented elsewhere. You can install up
to eight UCS B200 Blade Servers to a UCS chassis, mixing with other models or Cisco UCS blade
servers in the chassis if desired. The Cisco UCS B200 M3 is managed by Cisco UCS Manager version
2.0(2m) and later.

Summary of Contents for Cisco UCS B200 M3

  • Page 1 B200 M2 (second generation) server is still available and is documented elsewhere. You can install up to eight UCS B200 Blade Servers to a UCS chassis, mixing with other models or Cisco UCS blade servers in the chassis if desired. The Cisco UCS B200 M3 is managed by Cisco UCS Manager version 2.0(2m) and later.
  • Page 2 The Reset button is just inside the chassis and must be pressed using the tip of a paper clip or a similar item. Hold the button down for five seconds, and then release it to restart the server if other methods of restarting are not working.
