Task 1: Install into a Rack
For details about how to install the appliance into the rack, see the Cisco UCS C220 M5 Server Installation
and Service Guide at
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C220M5/install/C220M5.html
Task 2: Insert the SFP Network Connection Modules
The CE1200 ships with two 10 Gb fiber SFP modules and two 1 Gb copper SFPs.
To avoid compatibility issues, the following restrictions apply to SFP modules.
Caution
• Only use the SFPs supplied with the appliance. (Note that SFP modules from M4-based Expressways
should not be reused in this appliance.)
• Do not mix SFPs. Either insert two 10 Gb fiber SFPs or two 1 Gb copper SFPs.
The following requirements also apply to the SFPs:
• Insert them only into the designated SFP ports on the PCIe 01 card. The leftmost SFP port corresponds
to LAN1 on the Expressway user interface.
• Although SFPs support auto-negotiation for speed and duplex, they only negotiate one speed—to the
stated speed of the SFP and full duplex. This means you must connect them to a switch port that supports
the stated speed and full duplex:
• 10 Gb full duplex for fiber SFPs
• 1 Gb full duplex for copper SFPs
