Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect
Starting the System
Step 5
Place the grounding lug against the grounding pad so that there is solid metal-to-metal contact, and insert
the two M4 screws with washers through the holes in the grounding lug and into the grounding pad.
Step 6
Ensure that the lug and cable do not interfere with other equipment.
Step 7
Prepare the other end of the grounding cable and connect it to an appropriate grounding point in your
site to ensure adequate earth ground.
Starting the System
This section describes how to power up the system and verify component installation.
Note
Do not connect the Ethernet port to the LAN until the initial system configuration has been performed.
For instructions on configuring the system, see the
Cisco UCS Manager CLI Configuration Guide
. For
instructions on connecting to the console port, see the
“Connecting to the Console Port” section on
page 3-1
.
Warning
When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and
disconnected last.
Statement 1046
Warning
The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times, because it serves as the main
disconnecting device.
Statement 1019
To power up the fabric interconnect and verify hardware operation, follow these steps:
Step 1
Verify that empty power supply slots have filler panels installed, the faceplates of all modules are flush
with the front of the chassis, and the captive screws of the power supplies, fan module, and all expansion
modules are tight.
Step 2
Verify that the power supply and the fan modules are installed.
Note
Depending on the outlet receptacle on your power distribution unit, you may need the optional
jumper power cord to connect the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect to your outlet
receptacle. See the
“Jumper Power Cord” section on page B-8
.
Step 3
Ensure that the chassis is adequately grounded as described in the
“Grounding the System” section on
page 2-11
, and that the power cables are connected to outlets that have the required AC power voltages
(see the
“Power Specifications” section on page A-2
).
Step 4
For a first-time installation, you will need to work with your network manager to determine the following
parameters:
