Maintaining the Server 

This chapter describes how to diagnose server system problems using LEDs. It also provides information 
about how to install or replace hardware components, and it includes the following sections: 

Server Monitoring and Management Tools, page 3-1

 

Status LEDs and Buttons, page 3-2

 

Preparing for Server Component Installation, page 3-8

 

Installing or Replacing Server Components, page 3-11

 

Service DIP Switches, page 3-67

Server Monitoring and Management Tools

Cisco Integrated Management Interface

You can monitor the server inventory, health, and system event logs by using the built-in Cisco Integrated 
Management Controller (Cisco IMC) GUI or CLI interfaces. See the user documentation for your 
firmware release at the following URL: 

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10739/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html

Server Configuration Utility

Cisco has also developed the Cisco Server Configuration Utility for C-Series servers, which can aid and 
simplify the following tasks:

Monitoring server inventory and health

Diagnosing common server problems with diagnostic tools and logs

Setting the BIOS booting order

Configuring some RAID configurations

Installing operating systems

You can download the ISO image from Cisco.com. See the user documentation for your version of the 
utility at the following URL:
