Installing the unit in a rack
See
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C220/install/install.html#wp1341126
for information on how to install the unit in a rack.
Inserting the SFPs
The CE1000 unit is shipped with two 10 Gb fiber small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers and two 1
Gb copper SFPs. When inserting the SFPs into the unit, note that you cannot mix the type of SFP. Either
insert two 10 Gb fiber SFPs or two 1 Gb copper SFPs.
The SFPs do not auto-negotiate the speed, therefore ensure that the SFPs are connected to a switch at the
correct speed (1 Gb if connecting to the copper SFPs or 10 Gb if connecting to the fiber SFPs)
Note:
you must install the 10 Gb fiber SFPs to take advantage of the unit's performance and scalability
capabilities, otherwise it will not support more than 150 traversal calls. This is the case even if the option key
for additional traversal calls has been installed.
Connecting and powering on the unit
Attach a power cord to each power supply in your server, and then attach the power cord to a grounded AC
power outlet. See
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_
computing/ucs/c/hw/C220/install/spec.html#wp1070378
for power specifications.
The power button of the unit is located in the top left-hand corner of the front panel.
If this is the first time that the power switch has been turned on after connecting the power cable, the system
will perform a Self Test and the unit will automatically restart. This is expected behavior. The system will be
operational after it has booted up a second time. The first boot will take approximately 2 minutes.
To verify the power status look at the Power Status LED (see
Figure 3: Front view of the Cisco Expressway
unit. [p.12]
):
n
Off—There is no AC power present in the server.
n
Amber—The server is in standby power mode. Power is supplied only to the CIMC and some motherboard
functions.
n
Green—The server is in main power mode. Power is supplied to all server components.
