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 flashing blue beaconing indication.

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 in

normal operation.

Green

Standby power state. Power is supplied only to the service processor

(BMC) of the server so that the server can still be managed.

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 Guide for your

release for information about completely powering off the

server from the software interface.

Buttons

The Reset button is just inside the chassis and must be pressed using 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 are not working.

The beaconing function for an individual server may get turned on or off by pressing the combination button and LED.

The power button and LED 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 or an integrated rack-mount 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 unexpected shutdown at a later time. To safely reboot a server

from a power-down state, use the Boot Server action in Cisco UCS Manager.

Connectors

The console port 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 (N20-BKVM) which 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.

Hard 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 (N20-BBLKD) to ensure proper cooling and ventilation.

You can remove and install blade server 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: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10280/products_data_sheets_list.html

Before upgrading or adding an HDD to a running system, 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 and handle modules by the

carrier edges only.

Caution

RAID Considerations

Each blade contains an LSI SAS 2004 RAID controller embedded in the motherboard that is not separately replaceable. The controller

supports RAID 0 and 1.

If the drive being replaced was part of a RAID array, Cisco recommends using a new drive of identical size, model, and manufacturer

to replace the failed drive. This recommendation comes from the industry standard practice of using drives of the same capacity when

creating RAID volumes. If drives of different capacities are used, the useable portion of the smallest drive will be used on all drives

that make up the RAID volume.

If you ever need to move a RAID cluster from one server to another, both the old and new servers for the cluster must use the same

LSI controller. For example, migration from a server with an LSI 1064E controller to a server with an LSI MegaRAID controller is

not supported. Similarly, migrating a RAID cluster from a B200 M3 to a B420 M3 is not supported.

For hard disk and RAID troubleshooting information, see the Cisco UCS Manager B-Series Troubleshooting Guide.

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 Hard Drive

Procedure

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

Figure 4: Installing a Hard Drive in a Blade Server

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

Step 3 Push the hard drive lever 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 B-Series Troubleshooting 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 Blade Servers Using the Power Button

You can also shut the server down 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 For each server in the chassis that you want to power off, check the color of the Power Status LED.

•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 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 screw 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 keep dust out of the chassis.

Installing a Half-width Blade Server

UCS B200 M4, UCS B200 M3, and UCS B22 M3 half-width blade servers are interoperable in a UCS chassis with any other UCS

blade servers, including prior generation B200 M2 and B200 M1 servers, or other UCS B-Series blade servers. To install a half-width

blade server, follow these steps:

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 lever 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 lever 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 with bare fingers only is unlikely

to lead to stripped or damaged captive screws.

Step 6 Power on the server. UCS Manager automatically reacknowledges, reassociates, and recommissions the server, provided

any hardware changes are allowed by the service profile.

Secure Digital (SD) Card Access

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 (Cisco UCS Manager 2.2.xand later required).

Do not mix 16 GB and 32 GB SD cards in the same server.Note

Due to technical limitations, the 32 GB SD card has only 16 GB usable capacity (regardless of mirroring)

in this particular server.
