Initial Server Setup
Connecting and Powering On the Server (Standalone Mode)
Note
This section describes how to power on the server, assign an IP address, and connect to server
management when using the server
in standalone mode
. To use the server in UCS integration, specific
cabling and settings are required. See
Installation for Cisco UCS Integration, page D-1
The server is shipped with these default settings:
•
The NIC mode is Shared LOM EXT.
Shared LOM EXT mode enables the 1-Gb Ethernet ports and the ports on any installed Cisco virtual
interface card (VIC) to access the Cisco Integrated Management Interface (Cisco IMC). If you want
to use the 10/100 dedicated management ports to access the Cisco IMC, you can connect to the
server and change the NIC mode as described in
of the following procedure.
•
The NIC redundancy is active-active.
All Ethernet ports are utilized simultaneously.
•
DHCP is enabled.
•
Internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) is enabled.
Use the following procedure to perform initial setup of the server:
Step 1
Attach a supplied power cord to each power supply in your server, and then attach the power cord to a
grounded AC power outlet. See the
Power Specifications, page A-2
for power specifications.
Wait for approximately two minutes to let the server boot in standby power during the first bootup.
You can verify power status by looking at the Power Status LED (see
):
•
Off—There is no AC power present in the server.
•
Amber—The server is in standby power mode. Power is supplied only to the CIMC and some
motherboard functions.
•
Green—The server is in main power mode. Power is supplied to all server components.
Note
During bootup, the server beeps once for each USB device that is attached to the server. Even if
there are no external USB devices attached, there is a short beep for each virtual USB device
such as a virtual floppy drive, CD/DVD drive, keyboard, or mouse. A beep is also emitted if a
USB device is hot-plugged or hot-unplugged during BIOS power-on self test (POST), or while
you are accessing the BIOS Setup utility or the EFI shell.
Step 2
Connect a USB keyboard and VGA monitor by using the supplied KVM cable connected to the KVM
connector on the front panel (see
).
Note
Alternatively, you can use the VGA and USB ports on the rear panel. However, you cannot use
the front panel VGA and the rear panel VGA at the same time. If you are connected to one VGA
connector and you then connect a video device to the other connector, the first VGA connector
is disabled.
