Cisco UCS B200 M3 Blade Server 2

Revised: August 28, 2019

Cisco UCS B200 M3 Blade Server

The Cisco UCS B200 M3 is an Intel-based, half-width blade supporting two CPU sockets using Intel E5-2600 series CPUs and up

to 24 DIMMs; it supports one modular LOM (dedicated slot for Cisco's Virtual Interface Card) and one mezzanine adapter. At this

time, the UCS B200 M2 (second generation) server is still available and is documented elsewhere. You can install up to eight UCS

B200 Blade Servers to a UCS chassis, mixing with other models or Cisco UCS blade servers in the chassis if desired.

LEDs

Server LEDs indicate whether the blade server is in active or standby mode, the status of the network link, the overall health of the

blade server, and whether the server is set to give a blinking blue locator light from the locator button.

The removable drives also have LEDs indicating hard disk access activity and disk health.

DescriptionColorLED

Power off.OffPower

Main power state. Power is supplied to all

server components and the server is

operating normally.

Green

Standby power state. Power is supplied only

to the service processor of the server so that

the server can still be managed.

The front-panel power button is

disabled by default. It can be

re-enabled through Cisco UCS

Manager. After it's enabled, if

you press and release the

front-panel power button, the

server performs an orderly

shutdown of the 12 V main

power and goes to standby

power state. You cannot shut

down standby power from the

front-panel power button. See

the Cisco UCS Manager

Configuration Guides for

information about completely

powering off the server from the

software interface.

Buttons

The Reset button is recessed in the front panel of the server. You can press the button with the tip of a paper clip or a similar item.

Hold the button down for five seconds, and then release it to restart the server if other methods of restarting do not work.

The locator function for an individual server may get turned on or off by pressing the locator button/LED.

The front-panel power button is disabled by default. It can re-enabled through Cisco UCS Manager. After it's enabled, The power

button allows you to manually take a server temporarily out of service but leave it in a state where it can be restarted quickly. If the

desired power state for a service profile associated with a blade server is set to "off," using the power button or Cisco UCS Manager

to reset the server will cause the desired power state of the server to become out of sync with the actual power state and the server

may unexpectedly shut down at a later time. To safely reboot a server from a power-down state, use the Boot Server action in Cisco

UCS Manager.

Local Console Connection

The local console connector allows a direct connection to a blade server to allow operating system installation and other management

tasks to be done directly rather than remotely. The port uses the KVM dongle cable that provides a connection into a Cisco UCS

blade server; it has a DB9 serial connector, a VGA connector for a monitor, and dual USB ports for a keyboard and mouse. With this

cable, you can create a direct connection to the operating system and the BIOS running on a blade server. A KVM cable ships standard

with each blade chassis accessory kit.

Drive Replacement

Each blade has up to two front-accessible, hot-swappable, 2.5-inch drives. Unused hard drive bays should always be covered with

cover plates to ensure proper cooling and ventilation.

You can remove and install hard drives without removing the blade server from the chassis.

The drives supported in this blade server come with the drive sled attached. Spare drive sleds are not available. A list of currently

supported drives is in the specification sheets at this

URL:http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/servers-unified-computing/ucs-b-series-blade-servers/datasheet-listing.html

Before upgrading or adding a drive to a running blade server, check the service profile in Cisco UCS Manager and make sure the

new hardware configuration will be within the parameters allowed by the service profile.

To prevent ESD damage, wear grounding wrist straps during these procedures.

Caution

Removing a Blade Server Hard Drive

To remove a hard drive from a blade server, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1 Push the button to release the ejector, and then pull the hard drive from its slot.

Figure 3: Removing the Hard Drive

Step 2 Place the hard drive on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam if you are not immediately reinstalling it in another server.

Step 3 Install a hard disk drive blank faceplate to keep dust out of the blade server if the slot will remain empty.

Installing a Blade Server Drive

To install a drive in a blade server, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1 Place the drive ejector into the open position by pushing the release button.

Figure 4: Installing a Hard Drive in a Blade Server

Step 2 Gently slide the drive into the opening in the blade server until it seats into place.

Step 3 Push the drive ejector into the closed position.

You can use Cisco UCS Manager to format and configure RAID services. For details, see the Configuration Guide for

the version of Cisco UCS Manager that you are using. The configuration guides are available at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10281/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html

If you need to move a RAID cluster, see the Cisco UCS Manager Troubleshooting Reference Guide.

Blade Server Removal and Installation

Before performing any internal operations on this blade server, you must remove it from the chassis.

To prevent ESD damage, wear grounding wrist straps during these procedures and handle modules by the carrier edges only.

Caution

Powering Off a Blade Server Using the Power Button

The front panel power button is disabled by default to ensure that servers are decommissioned through the UCS Manager

software before shutdown. If you prefer to shut down the server locally with the button, you can enable front power-button

control in UCS Manager.

Note

You can also shut down servers remotely using Cisco UCS Manager. For details, see the Configuration Guide for the version

of Cisco UCS Manager that you are using. The configuration guides are available at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10281/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html

Tip

Procedure

Step 1 If you are local to the server, check the color of the Power Status LED for each server in the chassis that you want to

power off.

• Green indicates that the server is running and must be shut down before it can be safely powered off. Go to Step 2.

• Amber indicates that the server is already in standby mode and can be safely powered off. Go to Step 3.

Step 2 If you previously enabled front power-button control through Cisco UCS Manager, press and release the Power button,

then wait until the Power Status LED changes to amber.

The operating system performs a graceful shutdown and the server goes to standby mode.

To avoid data loss or damage to your operating system, you should always invoke a graceful shutdown of the

operating system.

Caution

Step 3 (Optional) If you are shutting down all blade servers in a chassis, disconnect the power cords from the chassis to completely

power off the servers.

Step 4 Remove the appropriate servers from the chassis.

Removing a Blade Server

Using UCS Manager, decommission the server before physically removing the server. To remove a blade server from the chassis,

follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1 Loosen the captive screws on the front of the blade.

Step 2 Remove the blade from the chassis by pulling the ejector lever on the blade until it unseats the blade server.

Step 3 Slide the blade part of the way out of the chassis, and place your other hand under the blade to support its weight.

Step 4 Once removed, place the blade on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam if you are not immediately reinstalling it into another

slot.

Step 5 If the slot is to remain empty, install a blank faceplate (N20-CBLKB1) to maintain proper thermal temperature and keep

dust out of the chassis.

Installing a Half-width Blade Server

Before you begin

The blade server must have its cover installed before installing the server into the chassis to ensure adequate airflow.

Procedure

Step 1 Grasp the front of the blade server and place your other hand under the blade to support it.

Figure 5: Positioning a Blade Server in the Chassis

Step 2 Open the ejector levers in the front of the blade server.

Step 3 Gently slide the blade into the opening until you cannot push it any farther.

Step 4 Press the ejector so that it catches the edge of the chassis and presses the blade server all the way in.

Step 5 Tighten the captive screw on the front of the blade to no more than 3 in-lbs. Tightening only with bare fingers is unlikely

to lead to stripped or damaged captive screws.

Cisco UCS Manager automatically reacknowledges, reassociates, and recommissions the server, provided any hardware

changes are allowed by the service profile.

Secure Digital Cards

Secure Digital (SD) card slots are provided and one or two SD cards can be populated. If two SD cards are populated, they can be

used in a mirrored mode.

Do not mix different capacity cards in the same server.

Note

Due to technical limitations, if the server is running a Cisco UCS Manager version earlier than release 2.2(3a) with the 32-GB

SD card, only 16-GB usable capacity is available (regardless of mirroring) in the server.

Note

Removing a Blade Server Cover

Procedure

Step 1 Press and hold the button down as shown in the figure below.

Step 2 While holding the back end of the cover, pull the cover back and then up.

Air Baffles

The air baffles direct and improve air flow for the server components. Two identical baffles ship with each B200 M3 server. No tools

are necessary to install them, just place them over the DIMMs as shown, with the holes in the center of the baffles aligned with the

corresponding motherboard standoffs.
