Statement 1005

Warning Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.

Statement 1074

Caution To ensure proper airflow it is necessary to rack the Cisco CSP 2100s using rail kits. Physically placing the units on top of one another or “stacking” without the use of the rail kits blocks the air vents on top of the Cisco CSP 2100s, which could result in overheating, higher fan speeds, and higher power consumption. We recommend that you mount your Cisco CSP 2100s on rail kits when you are installing them into the rack because these rails provide the minimal spacing required between the Cisco CSP 2100s. No additional spacing between the Cisco CSP 2100s is required when you mount the units using rail kits.

Caution Avoid UPS types that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable with systems such as Cisco CSP 2100, which can have substantial current draw fluctuations from fluctuating data traffic patterns.

When you are installing Cisco CSP 2100, use the following guidelines:

- Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing Cisco CSP 2100. The site planning for Cisco CSP 2100 is similar to that for Cisco UCS server. See the Cisco UCS Site Preparation Guide for the recommended site planning tasks.

- Ensure that there is adequate space around Cisco CSP 2100 to allow for servicing and for adequate airflow. The airflow in Cisco CSP 2100 is from front to back.

- Ensure that the air-conditioning meets the thermal requirements listed in the Cisco CSP 2100 Specifications.

- Ensure that the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in the “Rack Requirements” section.

- Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in the Cisco CSP 2100 Specifications. If available, you can use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power failures.

Rack Requirements

This section provides the requirements for the standard open racks. The rack must be of the following type:

- A standard 19-in. (48.3-cm) wide, four-post EIA rack, with mounting posts that conform to English universal hole spacing, per section 1 of ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992.

- The rack post holes can be square 0.38-inch (9.6 mm), round 0.28-inch (7.1 mm), #12-24 UNC, or #10-32 UNC when you use the supplied slide rails.

- The minimum vertical rack space per Cisco CSP 2100 must be one RU, equal to 1.75 in. (44.45 mm).

Step 3 Install the outer slide rails into the rack:

a. Align one slide-rail assembly front end with the front rack-post holes that you want to use.

The slide rail front-end wraps around the outside of the rack post and the mounting pegs enter the rack-post holes from the outside-front (see Figure 2-2).

Note The rack post must be between the mounting pegs and the open securing plate.

b. Push the mounting pegs into the rack-post holes from the outside-front.

c. Press the securing plate release button, marked PUSH. The spring-loaded securing plate closes to lock the pegs in place.

d. Adjust the slide-rail length, and then push the rear mounting pegs into the corresponding rear rack-post holes. The slide rail must be level front-to-rear.

The rear mounting pegs enter the rear rack-post holes from the inside of the rack post.

e. Attach the second slide-rail assembly to the opposite side of the rack. Ensure that the two slide-rail assemblies are at the same height with each other and are level front-to-back.

f. Pull the inner slide rails on each assembly out toward the rack front until they hit the internal stops and lock in place.

Step 4 Insert Cisco CSP 2100 into the slide rails:

Caution Cisco CSP 2100 can weigh up to 67 pounds (59 kilograms) when fully loaded with components. We recommend that you use a minimum of two people or a mechanical lift when lifting Cisco CSP 2100. Attempting this procedure alone could result in personal injury or equipment damage.

a. Align the rear of the inner rails that are attached to Cisco CSP 2100 sides with the front ends of the empty slide rails on the rack.

b. Push the inner rails into the slide rails on the rack until they stop at the internal stops.

c. Slide the release clip toward the rear on both inner rails, and then continue pushing Cisco CSP 2100 into the rack until its front slam latches engage with the rack posts.

Step 5 (Optional) Secure the Cisco CSP 2100 in the rack more permanently by using the two screws that are provided with the slide rails. Perform this step if you plan to move the rack with Cisco CSP 2100 installed.

With Cisco CSP 2100 fully pushed into the slide rails, open a hinged slam latch lever on the front of the Cisco CSP 2100 and insert the screw through the hole that is under the lever. The screw threads into the static part of the rail on the rack post and prevents Cisco CSP 2100 from being pulled out. Repeat for the opposite slam latch.

Initial Cisco CSP 2100 Setup

Connecting and Powering On Cisco CSP 2100 (Standalone Mode)

Note This section describes how to power on Cisco CSP 2100, assign an IP address, and connect to Cisco CSP 2100 management when using the Cisco CSP 2100 in standalone mode.

Cisco CSP 2100 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 network interface card (NIC) to access Cisco Integrated Management Interface (CIMC).If you want to use the 10/100/1000 dedicated management ports to access CIMC, you can connect to the Cisco CSP 2100 and change the NIC mode as described in Step 1 of the following procedure.

- The NIC redundancy is active-active. All Ethernet ports are utilized simultaneously.

- DHCP is enabled .

- IPv4 is enabled.

There are two methods for connecting to the system for initial setup:

- Local setup—Use this procedure if you want to connect a keyboard and monitor to the system for setup. This procedure can use a KVM cable (Cisco PID N20-BKVM) or the ports on the rear of the Cisco CSP 2100. See Local Connection Procedure.

- Remote setup—Use this procedure if you want to perform setup through your dedicated management LAN. See Remote Connection Procedure.

Note To configure the system remotely, you must have a DHCP server on the same network as the system. Your DHCP server must be pre-configured with the range of MAC addresses for this server node. The MAC address is printed on a label on the rear of the server node. This server node has a range of six MAC addresses assigned to the CIMC. The MAC address printed on the label is the beginning of the range of six contiguous MAC addresses.

Local Connection Procedure

Step 1 Attach a power cord to each power supply in your Cisco CSP 2100, and then attach each power cord to a grounded AC power outlet. See Power Specifications for power specifications.

Wait for approximately two minutes to let the Cisco CSP 2100 boot in standby power during the first bootup.

You can verify system power status by looking at the system Power Status LED on the front panel (see External Features Overview). The system is in standby power mode when the LED is amber.

Step 2 Connect a USB keyboard and VGA monitor to the Cisco CSP 2100 using one of the following methods:

- Connect a USB keyboard and VGA monitor to the corresponding connectors on the rear panel (see External Features Overview).

- Connect an optional KVM cable (Cisco PID N20-BKVM) to the KVM connector on the front panel (see External Features Overview for the connector location). Connect your USB keyboard and VGA monitor to the KVM cable.

Step 3 Open the CIMC Configuration Utility:

a. Press and hold the front panel power button for four seconds to boot the Cisco CSP 2100.

b. During bootup, press F8 when prompted to open the CIMC Configuration Utility.

This utility has two windows that you can switch between by pressing F1 or F2.

Step 4 Continue with CIMC Configuration Utility Setup.

Remote Connection Procedure

Step 1 Attach a power cord to each power supply in your Cisco CSP 2100, and then attach each power cord to a grounded AC power outlet. See Power Specifications for power specifications.

Wait for approximately two minutes to let the Cisco CSP 2100 boot in standby power during the first bootup.

You can verify system power status by looking at the system Power Status LED on the front panel (see External Features Overview). The system is in standby power mode when the LED is amber.

Step 2 Plug your management Ethernet cable into the dedicated management port on the rear panel (see External Features Overview).

Step 3 Allow your pre-configured DHCP server to assign an IP address to the server node.

Step 4 Use the assigned IP address to access and log in to the CIMC for the server node. Consult with your DHCP server administrator to determine the IP address.

Note The default user name for the server is admin. The default password is password.

Step 5 From the CIMC Server Summary page, click Launch KVM Console. A separate KVM console window opens.

Step 6 From the CIMC Summary page, click Power Cycle Server. The system reboots.

Step 7 Select the KVM console window.

Note The KVM console window must be the active window for the following keyboard actions to work.

Step 8 When prompted, press F8 to enter the CIMC Configuration Utility. This utility opens in the KVM console window.

This utility has two windows that you can switch between by pressing F1 or F2.

Step 9 Continue with CIMC Configuration Utility Setup.

CIMC Configuration Utility Setup

The following procedure is performed after you connect to the system and open the CIMC Configuration Utility.

Step 1 Set NIC mode and NIC redundancy:

a. Set the NIC mode to choose which ports to use to access CIMC for Cisco CSP 2100 management (see Figure 1-2 for identification of the ports):

- Shared LOM EXT (default)—This is the shared LOM extended mode, the factory-default setting. With this mode, the Shared LOM and Cisco Card interfaces are both enabled.

In this mode, DHCP replies are returned to both the shared LOM ports and the Cisco card ports. If the system determines that the Cisco card connection is not getting its IP address from the Cisco CSP 2100 because the Cisco CSP 2100 is in standalone mode, further DHCP requests from the Cisco card are disabled. Use the Cisco Card NIC mode if you want to connect to CIMC through a Cisco card in standalone mode.

- Shared LOM—The 1-Gb Ethernet ports are used to access CIMC. You must select a NIC redundancy and IP setting.

- Dedicated—The dedicated management port is used to access CIMC. You must select a NIC redundancy and IP setting.

b. Use this utility to change the NIC redundancy to your preference. Cisco CSP 2100 has three possible NIC redundancy settings:

– None—The Ethernet ports operate independently and do not fail over if there is a problem. This setting can be used only with the Dedicated NIC mode.

– Active-standby—If an active Ethernet port fails, traffic fails over to a standby port.

– Active-active—All Ethernet ports are utilized simultaneously. The Shared LOM EXT mode can have only this NIC redundancy setting. Shared LOM and Cisco Card modes can have both Active-standby and Active-active settings.

Step 2 Choose whether to enable DHCP for dynamic network settings, or to enter static network settings.

Note Before you enable DHCP, you must pre-configure your DHCP server with the range of MAC addresses for this server. The MAC address is printed on a label on the rear of the server. This server has a range of six MAC addresses assigned to CIMC. The MAC address printed on the label is the beginning of the range of six contiguous MAC addresses.

The static IPv4 and IPv6 settings include the following:

- The CIMC IP address.

- The prefix/subnet.

For IPv6, valid values are 1–127.

- The gateway.

For IPv6, if you do not know the gateway, you can set it as none by entering :: (two colons).

- The preferred DNS server address.

For IPv6, you can set this as none by entering :: (two colons).

Step 3 (Optional) Use this utility to make VLAN settings.

Step 4 Press F1 to go to the second settings window, then continue with the next step.

From the second window, you can press F2 to switch back to the first window.

Step 5 (Optional) Set a hostname for the server.

Step 6 (Optional) Enable dynamic DNS and set a dynamic DNS (DDNS) domain.

Step 7 (Optional) If you check the Factory Default check box, the server reverts to the factory defaults.

Step 8 (Optional) Set a default user password.

Step 9 (Optional) Enable auto-negotiation of port settings or set the port speed and duplex mode manually.

Note Auto-negotiation is applicable only when you use the Dedicated NIC mode. Auto-negotiation sets the port speed and duplex mode automatically based on the switch port to which the server is connected. If you disable auto-negotiation, you must set the port speed and duplex mode manually.

Step 10 (Optional) Reset port profiles and the port name.

Step 11 Press F5 to refresh the settings that you made. You might have to wait about 45 seconds until the new settings appear and the message, “Network settings configured” is displayed before you reboot the server in the next step.

Step 12 Press F10 to save your settings and reboot the Cisco CSP 2100.

Note If you chose to enable DHCP, the dynamically assigned IP and MAC addresses are displayed on the console screen during bootup.

Use a browser and the IP address of the CIMC to connect to the CIMC management interface. The IP address is based upon the settings that you made (either a static address or the address assigned by your DHCP server).

Note The default username for the server is admin. The default password is admin.

Preparing for Cisco CSP 2100 Component Installation

This section describes how to prepare for component installation, and it includes the following topics:

- Required Equipment

- Shutting Down and Powering Off the Cisco CSP 2100

- Removing and Replacing the Cisco CSP 2100 Top Cover

- Serial Number Location

- Hot-Swap Replacement

Required Equipment

The following equipment is used to perform the procedures in this chapter:

- Number 2 Phillips-head screwdriver

- Electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap or other grounding equipment such as a grounded mat

Shutting Down and Powering Off the Cisco CSP 2100

The Cisco CSP 2100 can run in two power modes:

- Main power mode—Power is supplied to all Cisco CSP 2100 components and any operating system on your drives can run.

- Standby power mode—Power is supplied only to the service processor and the cooling fans and it is safe to power off the Cisco CSP 2100 from this mode.

You can invoke a graceful shutdown or a hard shutdown by using either of the following methods:

- Use the CIMC management interface.

- Use the Power button on the Cisco CSP 2100 front panel. To use the Power button, follow these steps:

Step 1 Check the color of the Power Status LED (see the “Front Panel LEDs” section).

- Green—Cisco CSP 2100 is in main power mode and must be shut down before it can be safely powered off. Go to Step 2.

- Amber—Cisco CSP 2100 is already in standby mode and can be safely powered off. Go to Step 3.

Step 2 Invoke either a graceful shutdown or a hard shutdown:

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

- Graceful shutdown—Press and release the Power button. The operating system performs a graceful shutdown and the Cisco CSP 2100 goes to standby mode, which is indicated by an amber Power Status LED.

- Emergency shutdown—Press and hold the Power button for 4 seconds to force the main power off and immediately enter standby mode.

Step 3 Disconnect the power cords from the power supplies in your Cisco CSP 2100 to completely power off the Cisco CSP 2100.

Removing and Replacing the Cisco CSP 2100 Top Cover

Step 1 Remove the top cover (see Figure 3-4).

a. If the cover latch is locked, use a screwdriver to turn the lock 90-degrees counterclockwise to unlock it. See Figure 3-4.

b. Lift on the end of the latch that has the green finger grip. The cover is pushed back to the open position as you lift the latch.

c. Lift the top cover straight up from the Cisco CSP 2100 and set it aside.

Step 2 Replace the top cover:

Note The latch must be in the fully open position when you set the cover back in place, which allows the opening in the latch to sit over a peg that is on the fan tray.

a. With the latch in the fully open position, place the cover on top of the Cisco CSP 2100 about one-half inch (1.27 cm) behind the lip of the front cover panel. The opening in the latch should fit over the peg that sticks up from the fan tray.

b. Press the cover latch down to the closed position. The cover is pushed forward to the closed position as you push down the latch.

c. If desired, lock the latch by using a screwdriver to turn the lock 90-degrees clockwise.

Serial Number Location

The serial number for the Cisco CSP 2100 is printed on a label on the top of the Cisco CSP 2100, near the front.

Hot-Swap Replacement

Some components can be removed and replaced without powering off and removing AC power from the Cisco CSP 2100. For hot-swap replacement, you do not have to precondition or shut down the component in the software before you remove it for the following components:

- SAS/SATA drives

- Cooling fan modules

- Power supplies (when 1+1 redundant)

Installing or Replacing Cisco CSP 2100 Components

Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.

Statement 1029

Caution When handling Cisco CSP 2100 components, wear an ESD strap to avoid damage.

Tip You can press the unit identification button on the front panel or rear panel to turn on a flashing unit identification LED on the front and rear panels of the Cisco CSP 2100. This button allows you to locate the specific Cisco CSP 2100 that you are servicing when you go to the opposite side of the rack. You can also activate these LEDs remotely by using the CIMC interface. See the “Status LEDs and Buttons” section for locations of these LEDs.

Replacing Hard Drives or Solid State Drives

This section includes the following information:

- Drive Population Guidelines

- Drive Replacement Procedure

Drive Population Guidelines

Cisco CSP 2100 supports the small form factor (SFF) drives and can hold up to eight 2.5-inch hard drives or solid state drives.

The drive-bay numbering is shown in Figure 3-6.

Figure 3-6 Drive Numbering, SFF Drives, Eight-Drive Version

- When populating drives, add drives to the lowest-numbered bays first.

- Keep an empty drive blanking tray in any unused bays to ensure proper airflow.

- You can mix hard drives and SSDs in the same Cisco CSP 2100. However, you cannot configure a logical volume (virtual drive) that contains a mix of hard drives and SSDs. That is, when you create a logical volume, it must contain all hard drives or all SSDs.

Drive Replacement Procedure

Tip You do not have to shut down or power off the Cisco CSP 2100 to replace SA/SATA hard drives or solid state drives because they are hot-swappable.

Step 1 Remove the drive that you are replacing or remove a blank drive tray from the bay:

a. Press the release button on the face of the drive tray. See Figure 3-7.

b. Grasp and open the ejector lever and then pull the drive tray out of the slot.

c. If you are replacing an existing drive, remove the four drive-tray screws that secure the drive to the tray and then lift the drive out of the tray.

Step 2 Install a new drive:

a. Place a new drive in the empty drive tray and install the four drive-tray screws.

b. With the ejector lever on the drive tray open, insert the drive tray into the empty drive bay.

c. Push the tray into the slot until it touches the backplane, and then close the ejector lever to lock the drive in place.

- Memory Performance Guidelines and Population Rules

- DIMM Replacement Procedure

Caution DIMMs and their sockets are fragile and must be handled with care to avoid damage during installation.

Caution Cisco does not support third-party DIMMs. Using non-Cisco DIMMs in the Cisco CSP 2100 might result in system problems or damage to the motherboard.

Note To ensure the best Cisco CSP 2100 performance, it is important that you are familiar with memory performance guidelines and population rules before you install or replace DIMMs.

Memory Performance Guidelines and Population Rules

This section describes the type of memory that the Cisco CSP 2100 requires and its effect on performance. The section includes the following topics:

- DIMM Slot Numbering

- DIMM Population Rules

- Memory Mirroring and RAS

- Lockstep Channel Mode

DIMM Slot Numbering

Figure 3-12 shows the numbering of the DIMM slots.

Figure 3-12 DIMM Slots and CPUs

DIMM Population Rules

Observe the following guidelines when installing or replacing DIMMs:

Observe the following guidelines when installing or replacing DIMMs:

- Each CPU supports four memory channels.

– CPU1 supports channels A, B, C, and D.

– CPU2 supports channels E, F, G, and H.

- Each channel has three DIMM sockets (for example, channel A = slots A1, A2, and A3).

– A channel can operate with one, two, or three DIMMs installed.

– If a channel has only one DIMM, populate slot 1 first (the blue slot).

- When both CPUs are installed, populate the DIMM sockets of each CPU identically.

– Fill blue #1 slots in the channels first: A1, E1, B1, F1, C1, G1, D1, H1

– Fill black #2 slots in the channels second: A2, E2, B2, F2, C2, G2, D2, H2

– Fill white #3 slots in the channels third: A3, E3, B3, F3, C3, G3, D3, H3

- Any DIMM installed in a DIMM socket for which the CPU is absent is not recognized. In a single-CPU configuration, populate the channels for CPU1 only (A, B, C, D).

- Memory mirroring reduces the amount of memory available by 50 percent because only one of the two populated channels provides data. When memory mirroring is enabled, DIMMs must be installed in sets of 4, 6, or 8 as described in Memory Mirroring and RAS.

- Observe the DIMM mixing rules shown in Table 3-4 .

Table 3-4 DIMM Mixing Rules for Cisco CSP 2100

DIMM Parameter

DIMMs in the Same Channel

DIMMs in the Same Bank

DIMM Capacity:

RDIMM = 8 or 16 GB

LRDIMM = 32 or 64 GB

- You can mix different capacity DIMMs in the same channel (for example, A1, A2, A3).

- You can mix different capacity DIMMs in the same bank. However, for optimal performance DIMMs in the same bank (for example, A1, B1, C1, D1) should have the same capacity.

DIMM Speed:

2133 or 2400 MHz

You can mix speeds, but DIMMs will run at the speed of the slowest DIMMs/CPUs installed in the channel.

You can mix speeds, but DIMMs will run at the speed of the slowest DIMMs/CPUs installed in the bank.

DIMM Type:

RDIMMs or LRDIMMs

You cannot mix DIMM types in a channel.

You cannot mix DIMM types in a bank.

Memory Mirroring and RAS

The Intel E5-2600 CPUs within the Cisco CSP 2100 support memory mirroring only when an even number of channels are populated with DIMMs. If one or three channels are populated with DIMMs, memory mirroring is automatically disabled. Furthermore, if memory mirroring is used, DRAM size is reduced by 50 percent for reasons of reliability.

The memory mirroring configuration for Cisco CSP 2100 is similar to that of Cisco UCS C-Series servers. You can refer to Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Server specification sheet for details on populating recommended memory mirroring configurations:

Cisco UCS C220 M4 High Density Rack Server (Small Form-Factor Disk Drive Model) Specification Sheet

Lockstep Channel Mode

When you enable lockstep channel mode, each memory access is a 128-bit data access that spans four channels.

Lockstep channel mode requires that all four memory channels on a CPU must be populated identically with regard to size and organization. DIMM socket populations within a channel (for example, A1, A2, A3) do not have to be identical but the same DIMM slot location across all four channels must be populated the same.

For example, DIMMs in sockets A1, B1, C1, and D1 must be identical. DIMMs in sockets A2, B2, C2, and D2 must be identical. However, the A1-B1-C1-D1 DIMMs do not have to be identical with the A2-B2-C2-D2 DIMMs.

DIMM Replacement Procedure

This section includes the following topics:

- Identifying a Faulty DIMM

- Replacing DIMMs

Identifying a Faulty DIMM

Each DIMM socket has a corresponding DIMM fault LED, directly in front of the DIMM socket. See Figure 3-3 for the locations of these LEDs. The LEDs light amber to indicate a faulty DIMM. To operate these LEDs from the supercap power source, remove AC power cords and then press the unit identification button. See also Internal Diagnostic LEDs.

Replacing DIMMs

Step 1 Remove the DIMM that you are replacing:

a. Power off the Cisco CSP 2100 as described in the Shutting Down and Powering Off the Cisco CSP 2100.

b. Slide the Cisco CSP 2100 out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might have to detach cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.

Caution If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the Cisco CSP 2100 from the rack.

c. Remove the top cover as described in Removing and Replacing the Cisco CSP 2100 Top Cover.

d. Identify the faulty DIMM by observing the DIMM slot fault LEDs on the motherboard.

e. Open the ejector levers at both ends of the DIMM slot, and then lift the DIMM out of the slot.

Step 2 Install a new DIMM:

Note Before installing DIMMs, see the population guidelines: Memory Performance Guidelines and Population Rules.

f. Align the new DIMM with the empty slot on the motherboard. Use the alignment key in the DIMM slot to correctly orient the DIMM.

g. Push down evenly on the top corners of the DIMM until it is fully seated and the ejector levers on both ends lock into place.

h. Replace the top cover.

i. Replace the Cisco CSP 2100 in the rack, replace cables, and then power on the Cisco CSP 2100 by pressing the Power button.

Replacing CPUs and Heatsinks

This section contains the following topics:

- CPU Configuration Rules

- CPU Replacement Procedure

- Additional CPU-Related Parts to Order with RMA Replacement Motherboards

CPU Configuration Rules

This Cisco CSP 2100 has two CPU sockets. Each CPU supports four DIMM channels (12 DIMM slots). See Figure 3-12.

- Cisco CSP 2100 can operate with one CPU or two identical CPUs installed.

- The minimum configuration is that Cisco CSP 2100 must have at least CPU1 installed. Install CPU1 first, and then CPU2.

- The following restrictions apply when using a single-CPU configuration:

– The maximum number of DIMMs is 12 (only CPU1 channels A, B, C, and D).

– PCIe riser 2/slot 2 is unavailable.

CPU Replacement Procedure

Caution CPUs and their motherboard sockets are fragile and must be handled with care to avoid damaging pins during installation. The CPUs must be installed with heatsinks and their thermal pads to ensure proper cooling. Failure to install a CPU correctly might result in damage to the Cisco CSP 2100.

Note Cisco CSP 2100 uses the new independent loading mechanism (ILM) CPU sockets, so no Pick-and-Place tools are required for CPU handling or installation. Always grasp the plastic frame on the CPU when handling.

Step 1 Power off the Cisco CSP 2100 as described in Shutting Down and Powering Off the Cisco CSP 2100.

Step 2 Slide the Cisco CSP 2100 out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might have to detach cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.

Caution If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the Cisco CSP 2100 from the rack.

Step 3 Remove the top cover as described in Removing and Replacing the Cisco CSP 2100 Top Cover.

Step 4 Remove the plastic air baffle that sits over the CPUs.

Step 5 Remove the heatsink that you are replacing. Use a Number 2 Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the four captive screws that secure the heatsink and then lift it off of the CPU.

Note Alternate loosening each screw evenly to avoid damaging the heatsink or CPU.

Step 6 Open the CPU retaining mechanism:

icon. See Figure 3-13.

b. Open the hinged CPU cover plate.

Figure 3-13 CPU Socket

Hinged CPU cover plate

a. With the latches and hinged CPU cover plate open, swing up the CPU in its hinged seat to the open position, as shown in Figure 3-13.

b. Grasp the CPU by the finger grips on its plastic frame and lift it up and out of the hinged CPU seat.

c. Set the CPU aside on an anti-static surface.

Step 8 Install a new CPU:

a. Grasp the new CPU by the finger grips on its plastic frame and align the tab on the frame that is labeled “ALIGN” with the SLS mechanism, as shown in Figure 3-14.

b. Insert the tab on the CPU frame into the seat until it stops and is held firmly.

The line below the word “ALIGN” should be level with the edge of the seat, as shown in Figure 3-14.

c. Swing the hinged seat with the CPU down until the CPU frame clicks in place and holds flat in the socket.

d. Close the hinged CPU cover plate.

icon. See Figure 3-13.
Figure 3-14 CPU and Socket Alignment Features

2

Tab on CPU frame (labeled ALIGN)

Step 9 Install a heat sink:

Caution The heat sink must have new thermal grease on the heat sink-to-CPU surface to ensure proper cooling. If you are reusing a heat sink, you must remove the old thermal grease. If you are installing a new heat sink, skip to Step c.

a. Apply the cleaning solution, which is included with the heatsink cleaning kit (shipped with spare CPUs), to the old thermal grease and let it soak for a least 15 seconds.

b. Wipe all of the old thermal grease off the old heat sink using the soft cloth that is included with the heatsink cleaning kit. Be careful to not scratch the heat sink surface.

c. Apply thermal grease from the syringe that is included with the new CPU to the top of the CPU.

Apply about half the syringe contents to the top of the CPU in the pattern that is shown in Figure 3-15.

Note If you do not have a syringe of thermal grease, you can order a spare

(Cisco PID UCS-CPU-GREASE3=). This syringe has a white cap.

Figure 3-15 Thermal Grease Application Pattern

Note Alternate tightening each screw evenly to avoid damaging the heatsink or CPU.

Step 10 Replace the air baffle.

Step 11 Replace the top cover.

Step 12 Replace the Cisco CSP 2100 in the rack, replace cables, and then power on the Cisco CSP 2100 by pressing the Power button.

Additional CPU-Related Parts to Order with RMA Replacement Motherboards

When a return material authorization (RMA) of the motherboard or CPU is done on a Cisco CSP 2100, additional parts might not be included with the CPU or motherboard spare bill of materials (BOM). The TAC engineer might need to add the additional parts to the RMA to help ensure a successful replacement.

- Scenario 1—You are reusing the existing heatsinks:

– Heat sink cleaning kit (UCSX-HSCK=)

– Thermal grease kit for Cisco CSP 2100 (UCS-CPU-GREASE3=)

- Scenario 2—You are replacing the existing heatsinks:

– Heat sink (UCSC-HS-C220M4=)

– Heat sink cleaning kit (UCSX-HSCK=)

A CPU heatsink cleaning kit is good for up to four CPU and heatsink cleanings. The cleaning kit contains two bottles of solution, one to clean the CPU and heatsink of old thermal interface material and the other to prepare the surface of the heatsink.

New heatsink spares come with the required thermal grease. It is important to clean the old thermal grease off of the CPU prior to installing the heatsinks. Therefore, when you are ordering new heatsinks, you must order the heatsink cleaning kit.

Replacing an Internal SD Card

The Cisco CSP 2100 has two internal SD card bays on the motherboard.

Dual SD cards are supported. RAID 1 support can be configured through the CIMC interface.

Step 1 Remove the SD card that you are replacing:

a. Slide the Cisco CSP 2100 out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might have to detach cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.

Caution If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the Cisco CSP 2100 from the rack.

b. Remove the top cover as described in Removing and Replacing the Cisco CSP 2100 Top Cover.

c. Locate the SD card that you are replacing on the motherboard (see Figure 3-16).

d. Push on the top of the SD card, and then release it to allow it to spring up in the slot.

e. Remove the SD card from the slot.

Step 2 Install an SD card:

a. Insert the SD card into the slot with the label side facing up.

Installing Multiple PCIe Cards and Resolving Limited Resources

When a large number of PCIe add-on cards are installed in the Cisco CSP 2100, the system might run out of the following resources required for PCIe devices:

- Option ROM memory space

- 16-bit I/O space

The topics in this section provide guidelines for resolving the issues related to these limited resources:

- Resolving Insufficient Memory Space to Execute Option ROMs

- Resolving Insufficient 16-Bit I/O Space

Resolving Insufficient Memory Space to Execute Option ROMs

The system has very limited memory to execute PCIe legacy option ROMs, so when a large number of PCIe add-on cards are installed in the Cisco CSP 2100, the system BIOS might not able to execute all of the option ROMs. The system BIOS loads and executes the option ROMs in the order that the PCIe cards are enumerated (slot 1, slot 2, slot 3, and so on).

If the system BIOS does not have sufficient memory space to load any PCIe option ROM, it skips loading that option ROM, reports a system event log (SEL) event to the CIMC controller and reports the following error in the Error Manager page of the BIOS Setup utility:

ERROR CODE SEVERITY INSTANCE DESCRIPTION

146 Major N/A PCI out of resources error.

Major severity requires user

intervention but does not

prevent system boot.

To resolve this issue, disable the Option ROMs that are not needed for system booting. The BIOS Setup Utility provides the setup options to enable or disable the Option ROMs at the PCIe slot level for the PCIe expansion slots and at the port level for the onboard NICs. These options can be found in the BIOS Setup Utility Advanced > PCI Configuration page.

- Guidelines for RAID controller booting

If the Cisco CSP 2100 is configured to boot primarily from RAID storage, make sure that the option ROMs for the slots where your RAID controllers installed are enabled in the BIOS, depending on your RAID controller configuration.

If the RAID controller does not appear in the system boot order even with the option ROMs for those slots enabled, the RAID controller option ROM might not have sufficient memory space to execute. In that case, disable other option ROMs that are not needed for the system configuration to free up some memory space for the RAID controller option ROM.

- Guidelines for onboard NIC PXE booting

If the system is configured to primarily perform PXE boot from onboard NICs, make sure that the option ROMs for the onboard NICs to be booted from are enabled in the BIOS Setup Utility. Disable other option ROMs that are not needed to create sufficient memory space for the onboard NICs.

Resolving Insufficient 16-Bit I/O Space

The system has only 64 KB of legacy 16-bit I/O resources available. This 64 KB of I/O space is divided between the CPUs in the system because the PCIe controller is integrated into the CPUs. This Cisco CSP 2100 BIOS has the capability to dynamically detect the 16-bit I/O resource requirement for each CPU and then balance the 16-bit I/O resource allocation between the CPUs during the PCI bus enumeration phase of the BIOS POST.

When a large number of PCIe cards are installed in the system, the system BIOS might not have sufficient I/O space for some PCIe devices. If the system BIOS is not able to allocate the required I/O resources for any PCIe devices, the following symptoms have been observed:

- The system might get stuck in an infinite reset loop.

- The BIOS might appear to hang while initializing PCIe devices.

- The PCIe option ROMs might take excessive time to complete, which appears to lock up the system.

- PCIe boot devices might not be accessible from the BIOS.

- PCIe option ROMs might report initialization errors. These errors are seen before the BIOS passes control to the operating system.

- The keyboard might not work.

The work around to this problem is to rebalance the 16-bit I/O load by physically removing any unused PCIe cards.

Replacing an mLOM Card

Cisco CSP 2100 can use a modular LOM (mLOM) card to provide additional rear-panel connectivity. The mLOM card socket remains powered when the Cisco CSP 2100 is in 12 V standby power mode and it supports the network communications services interface (NCSI) protocol.

Step 1 Remove any existing mLOM card (or a blanking panel):

a. Power off the Cisco CSP 2100 as described in Shutting Down and Powering Off the Cisco CSP 2100.

b. Slide the Cisco CSP 2100 out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might have to detach cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.

Caution If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the Cisco CSP 2100 from the rack.

c. Remove the top cover as described in Removing and Replacing the Cisco CSP 2100 Top Cover.

Step 2 See the location of the mLOM socket in Figure 3-23. You might have to remove PCIe riser 1 and the Cisco modular RAID controller riser to provide clearance.

- If there is no card in PCIe riser 1 or the RAID card riser, you can access the mLOM socket. Continue with Step 3.

- If there is a card in PCIe riser 1 or the RAID card riser, remove those risers to provide clearance. See Replacing a PCIe Riser Assembly and Replacing a Cisco Modular RAID Controller Card for instructions.

Step 3 Loosen the single thumbscrew that secures the mLOM card to the chassis floor and then slide the mLOM card horizontally to disengage its connector from the motherboard socket.

Step 4 Install a new mLOM card:

a. Set the mLOM card on the chassis floor so that its connector is aligned with the motherboard socket and its thumbscrew is aligned with the standoff on the chassis floor.

b. Push the card’s connector into the motherboard socket horizontally.

c. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the card to the chassis floor.

Step 5 If you removed PCIe riser 1 or the RAID card riser, return them to the Cisco CSP 2100. See Replacing a PCIe Riser Assembly or Replacing a Cisco Modular RAID Controller Card for instructions.

Step 6 Replace the top cover.

Step 7 Replace the Cisco CSP 2100 in the rack, replace cables, and then power on the Cisco CSP 2100 by pressing the Power button.

Installing Cisco CSP 2100 X2 In a Rack

Installing the Slide Rails

This section describes how to install Cisco CSP 2100 X2 in a rack using the rack kits that are sold by Cisco.

Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack. Statement 1006

Step 1 Attach the inner rails to the sides of Cisco CSP 2100 X2:

a. Align an inner rail with one side of Cisco CSP 2100 X2 so that the three keyed slots in the rail align with the three pegs on the side of Cisco CSP 2100 X2 (see Figure 7-1).

b. Set the keyed slots over the pegs, and then slide the rail toward the front to lock it in place on the pegs. The front slot has a metal clip that locks over the front peg.

c. Install the second inner rail to the opposite side of Cisco CSP 2100 X2.

Step 3 Install the slide rails into the rack:

a. Align one slide-rail assembly front end with the front rack-post holes that you want to use.

The slide rail front-end wraps around the outside of the rack post and the mounting pegs enter the rack-post holes from the outside-front (see Figure 7-2).

Note The rack post must be between the mounting pegs and the open securing plate.

b. Push the mounting pegs into the rack-post holes from the outside-front.

c. Press the securing plate release button, marked “PUSH.” The spring-loaded securing plate closes to lock the pegs in place.

d. Adjust the slide-rail length, and then push the rear mounting pegs into the corresponding rear rack-post holes. The slide rail must be level front-to-rear.

The rear mounting pegs enter the rear rack-post holes from the inside of the rack post.

e. Attach the second slide-rail assembly to the opposite side of the rack. Ensure that the two slide-rail assemblies are at the same height with each other and are level front-to-back.

f. Pull the inner slide rails on each assembly out toward the rack front until they hit the internal stops and lock in place.

Step 4 Insert Cisco CSP 2100 X2 into the slide rails:

Caution Cisco CSP 2100 X2 can weigh up to 67 pounds (30 kilograms) when fully loaded with components. We recommend that you use a minimum of two people or a mechanical lift when lifting Cisco CSP 2100 X2. Attempting this procedure alone could result in personal injury or equipment damage.

a. Align the rear of the inner rails that are attached to Cisco CSP 2100 X2 sides with the front ends of the empty slide rails on the rack.

b. Push the inner rails into the slide rails on the rack until they stop at the internal stops.

c. Slide the release clip toward the rear on both inner rails (Figure 7-3), and then continue pushing Cisco CSP 2100 X2 into the rack until its front slam latches engage with the rack posts.

- Standby power mode—Power is supplied only to the service processor and the cooling fans and it is safe to power off the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 from this mode.

You can invoke a graceful shutdown or a hard shutdown by using either of the following methods:

- Use the Cisco IMC management interface.

- Use the Power button on the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 front panel. To use the Power button, follow these steps:

Step 1 Check the color of the Power Status LED (see the “Front Panel LEDs” section).

- Green—Cisco CSP 2100 X2 is in main power mode and must be shut down before it can be safely powered off. Go to Step 2.

- Amber—Cisco CSP 2100 X2 is already in standby mode and can be safely powered off. Go to Step 3.

Step 2 Invoke either a graceful shutdown or a hard shutdown:

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

- Graceful shutdown—Press and release the Power button. The operating system performs a graceful shutdown and the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 goes to standby mode, which is indicated by an amber Power Status LED.

- Emergency shutdown—Press and hold the Power button for 4 seconds to force the main power off and immediately enter standby mode.

Step 3 Disconnect the power cords from the power supplies in your Cisco CSP 2100 X2 to completely power off the Cisco CSP 2100 X2.

Removing and Replacing the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 Top Cover

Step 1 Remove the top cover (see Figure 8-4).

a. If the cover latch is locked, use a screwdriver to turn the lock 90-degrees counterclockwise to unlock it. See Figure 8-4.

b. Lift on the end of the latch that has the green finger grip. The cover is pushed back to the open position as you lift the latch.

c. Lift the top cover straight up from the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 and set it aside.

Step 2 Replace the top cover:

Note The latch must be in the fully open position when you set the cover back in place, which allows the opening in the latch to sit over a peg that is on the fan tray.

a. With the latch in the fully open position, place the cover on top of the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 about one-half inch (1.27 cm) behind the lip of the front cover panel. The opening in the latch should fit over the peg that sticks up from the fan tray.

b. Press the cover latch down to the closed position. The cover is pushed forward to the closed position as you push down the latch.

c. If desired, lock the latch by using a screwdriver to turn the lock 90-degrees clockwise.

Replacing SAS/SATA Hard Drives or Solid State Drives

This section includes the following information:

- SAS/SATA Drive Population Guidelines

- Replacing SAS/SATA Drives

SAS/SATA Drive Population Guidelines

Cisco CSP 2100 X2 supports the small form-factor (SFF) drives with 24-drive backplane and expander.

Cisco CSP 2100 X2 holds up to 24 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard drives or solid state drives (SSDs). SAS/SATA drives are hot-swappable.

Note You cannot change the backplane type after-factory. To change a front panel/backplane configuration, a chassis replacement is required.

The drive-bay numbering is shown in Figure 8-6.

Figure 8-6 Drive Numbering, SFF Drives, 24-Drive Version

Observe these drive population guidelines for optimal performance:

- When populating drives, add drives in the lowest numbered bays first.

- Keep an empty drive blanking tray in any unused bays to ensure optimal airflow and cooling.

- You can mix hard drives and solid state drives in the same Cisco CSP 2100 X2. However, you cannot configure a logical volume (virtual drive) that contains a mix of hard drives and SSDs. That is, when you create a logical volume, it must contain all hard drives or all SSDs.

4K Sector Format Drives Considerations

- You must boot 4K sector format drives in UEFI mode, not legacy mode. See Setting Up Booting in UEFI Mode in the BIOS Setup Utility or Setting Up Booting in UEFI Mode in the Cisco IMC GUI.

- Do not configure 4K sector format and 512-byte sector format drives as part of the same RAID volume.

- Operating system support on 4K sector drives is as follows: Windows: Win2012 and Win2012R2; Linux: RHEL 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 7.0, 7.2; SLES 11 SP3, and SLES 12. ESXi/Vmware is not supported.

Tip A fault LED is on the top of each fan module that lights amber if the fan module fails. To operate these LEDs from the SuperCap power source, remove AC power cords and then press the Unit Identification button. See also Internal Diagnostic LEDs.

Caution You do not have to shut down or power off the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 to replace fan modules because they are hot- swappable. However, to maintain proper cooling, do not operate the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 for more than one minute with any fan module removed.

Step 1 Slide the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might have to detach cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.

Caution If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 from the rack.

Step 2 Remove the top cover as described in Removing and Replacing the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 Top Cover.

Step 3 Identify a faulty fan module by looking for a fan fault LED that is lit amber (see Figure 8-9).

Step 4 Remove a fan module that you are replacing (see Figure 8-9):

a. Grasp the top of the fan and pinch the green plastic latch toward the center.

b. Lift straight up to remove the fan module from Cisco CSP 2100 X2.

Step 5 Install a new fan module:

a. Set the new fan module in place, aligning the connector on the bottom of the fan module with the connector on the motherboard.

Note The arrow label on the top of the fan module, which indicates the direction of airflow, should point toward the rear of the Cisco CSP 2100 X2.

b. Press down gently on the fan module until the latch clicks and locks in place.

Step 6 Replace the top cover.

Replacing DIMMs

This section includes the following topics:

- Memory Performance Guidelines and Population Rules

- DIMM Replacement Procedure

Caution DIMMs and their sockets are fragile and must be handled with care to avoid damage during installation.

Caution Cisco does not support third-party DIMMs. Using non-Cisco DIMMs in Cisco CSP 2100 X2 might result in system problems or damage to the motherboard.

Note To ensure the best performance, it is important that you are familiar with memory performance guidelines and population rules before you install or replace the memory.

Memory Performance Guidelines and Population Rules

This section describes the type of memory that Cisco CSP 2100 X2 requires and its effect on performance. The section includes the following topics:

- DIMM Socket Numbering

- DIMM Population Rules

- Memory Mirroring and RAS

- Lockstep Channel Mode

DIMM Socket Numbering

Figure 8-10 shows the numbering of the DIMM sockets and CPUs.

Figure 8-10 CPUs and DIMM Socket Numbering on Motherboard

DIMM Population Rules

Observe the following guidelines when installing or replacing DIMMs:

- Each CPU supports four memory channels.

– CPU1 supports channels A, B, C, and D.

– CPU2 supports channels E, F, G, and H.

- Each channel has three DIMM sockets (for example, channel A = slots A1, A2, and A3).

– A channel can operate with one, two, or three DIMMs installed.

– If a channel has only one DIMM, populate slot 1 first (the blue slot).

- When both CPUs are installed, populate the DIMM sockets of each CPU identically.

– Fill blue #1 slots in the channels first: A1, E1, B1, F1, C1, G1, D1, H1

– Fill black #2 slots in the channels second: A2, E2, B2, F2, C2, G2, D2, H2

– Fill white #3 slots in the channels third: A3, E3, B3, F3, C3, G3, D3, H3

- Any DIMM installed in a DIMM socket for which the CPU is absent is not recognized. In a single-CPU configuration, populate the channels for CPU1 only (A, B, C, D).

- Memory mirroring reduces the amount of memory available by 50 percent because only one of the two populated channels provides data. When memory mirroring is enabled, you must install DIMMs in sets of 4, 6, 8, or 12 as described in Memory Mirroring and RAS.

- The Tesla P100 GPU can support more than 1 TB of memory in Cisco CSP 2100 X2. All other NVIDIA GPUs can support only 1 TB or less of memory in Cisco CSP 2100 X2. Therefore, do not install more than fourteen 64-GB DIMMs when using an NVIDIA GPU card (other than Tesla P100) in Cisco CSP 2100 X2.

- Observe the DIMM mixing rules shown in Table 8-5 .

Table 8-5 DIMM Mixing Rules for Cisco CSP 2100 X2

DIMM Parameter

DIMMs in the Same Channel

DIMMs in the Same Bank

DIMM Capacity:

RDIMM = 8 or 16 GB

LRDIMM = 32 or 64 GB

You can mix different capacity DIMMs in the same channel (for example, A1, A2, A3).

You can mix different capacity DIMMs in the same bank. However, for optimal performance DIMMs in the same bank (for example, A1, B1, C1, D1) should have the same capacity.

DIMM Speed:

2133 or 2400 MHz

You can mix speeds, but DIMMs will run at the speed of the slowest DIMMs/CPUs installed in the channel.

You can mix speeds, but DIMMs will run at the speed of the slowest DIMMs/CPUs installed in the bank.

DIMM Type:

RDIMMs or LRDIMMs

You cannot mix DIMM types in a channel.

You cannot mix DIMM types in a bank.

Memory Mirroring and RAS

The Intel E5-2600 CPUs within the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 support memory mirroring only when an even number of channels are populated with DIMMs. If one or three channels are populated with DIMMs, memory mirroring is automatically disabled. Furthermore, if memory mirroring is used, DRAM size is reduced by 50 percent for reasons of reliability.

The memory mirroring configuration for Cisco CSP 2100 is similar to that of Cisco UCS C-Series servers. You can refer to Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Server specification sheet for details on populating recommended memory mirroring configurations:

- Cisco UCS C240 M4 High Density Rack Server (Small Form-Factor Disk Drive Model) Specification Sheet

Lockstep Channel Mode

When you enable lockstep channel mode, each memory access is a 128-bit data access that spans four channels.

Lockstep channel mode requires that all four memory channels on a CPU must be populated identically with regard to size and organization. DIMM socket populations within a channel (for example, A1, A2, A3) do not have to be identical but the same DIMM slot location across all four channels must be populated the same.

For example, DIMMs in sockets A1, B1, C1, and D1 must be identical. DIMMs in sockets A2, B2, C2, and D2 must be identical. However, the A1-B1-C1-D1 DIMMs do not have to be identical with the A2-B2-C2-D2 DIMMs.

DIMM Replacement Procedure

This section includes the following topics:

- Identifying a Faulty DIMM

- Replacing DIMMs

Identifying a Faulty DIMM

Each DIMM socket has a corresponding DIMM fault LED, directly in front of the DIMM socket. See Figure 8-3 for the locations of these LEDs. The LEDs light amber to indicate a faulty DIMM. To operate these LEDs from the SuperCap power source, remove AC power cords and then press the Unit Identification button.

Replacing DIMMs

Step 1 Power off the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 as described in Shutting Down and Powering Off the Cisco CSP 2100 X2.

Step 2 Slide the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might have to detach cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.

Caution If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 from the rack.

Step 3 Remove the top cover as described in Removing and Replacing the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 Top Cover.

Step 4 Remove the air baffle that sits over the DIMM sockets and set it aside.

Step 5 Identify the faulty DIMM by observing the DIMM socket fault LEDs on the motherboard (see Figure 8-3).

Step 6 Remove the DIMMs that you are replacing. Open the ejector levers at both ends of the DIMM socket, and then lift the DIMM out of the socket.

Step 7 Install a new DIMM:

Note Before installing DIMMs, see the population guidelines. See Memory Performance Guidelines and Population Rules.

a. Align the new DIMM with the empty socket on the motherboard. Use the alignment key in the DIMM socket to correctly orient the DIMM.

b. Push down evenly on the top corners of the DIMM until it is fully seated and the ejector levers on both ends lock into place.

Step 8 Replace the air baffle.

Step 9 Replace the top cover.

Step 10 Replace the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 in the rack, replace cables, and then power on the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 by pressing the Power button.

Replacing CPUs and Heatsinks

This section contains the following topics:

- Special Information For Upgrades to Intel Xeon v4 CPUs

- CPU Configuration Rules

- Replacing a CPU and Heatsink

- Additional CPU-Related Parts to Order with RMA Replacement Motherboards

Special Information For Upgrades to Intel Xeon v4 CPUs

Caution You must upgrade your firmware to the required minimum level before you upgrade to Intel v4 CPUs. Older firmware versions cannot recognize the new CPUs and this results in a non-bootable server.

The minimum software and firmware versions required for the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 to support Intel v4 CPUs are as follows:

Table 8-6 Minimum Requirements For Intel Xeon v4 CPUs

Software or Firmware

Minimum Version

Server CIMC

2.0(10)

Server BIOS

2.0(10)

Cisco UCS Manager (UCSM-managed system only)

2.2(7) or 3.1(1)

Note Cisco UCS Manager Release 2.2(4) introduced a server pack feature that allows Intel v4 CPUs to run with Cisco UCS Manager Release 2.2(4) or later.

The UCS Manager Capability Catalog must be updated to 2.2(7c) or later.

The server Cisco IMC/BIOS must be running the minimum version or later as described in Table 8-6.

Do one of the following actions:

- If your Cisco CSP 2100 X2’s firmware and/or Cisco UCS Manager software are already at the required levels shown in Table 8-6 , you can replace the CPU hardware by using the procedure in this section.

- If your Cisco CSP 2100 X2’s firmware and/or Cisco UCS Manager software is earlier than the required levels, use the instructions in the Cisco UCS C-Series Servers Upgrade Guide for Intel Xeon v4 CPUs to upgrade your software. After you upgrade the software, return to the procedure in this section as directed to replace the CPU hardware.

CPU Configuration Rules

Cisco CSP 2100 X2 has two CPU sockets. Each CPU supports four DIMM channels (12 DIMM sockets). See Figure 8-10.

- Cisco CSP 2100 X2 can operate with one CPU or with two identical CPUs installed.

- The minimum configuration is that Cisco CSP 2100 X2 must have at least CPU1 installed. Install CPU1 first, and then CPU2.

- The following restrictions apply when using a single-CPU configuration:

– The maximum number of DIMMs is 12 (only CPU1 channels A, B, C, and D).

– PCIe riser 2, which contains PCIe slots 4, 5, and 6 is unavailable.

– The PCIe SSD interposer board is unavailable.

Replacing a CPU and Heatsink

Caution CPUs and their motherboard sockets are fragile and must be handled with care to avoid damaging pins during installation. The CPUs must be installed with heatsinks and their thermal grease to ensure proper cooling. Failure to install a CPU correctly might result in damage to the Cisco CSP 2100 X2.

Note Cisco CSP 2100 X2 uses the new independent loading mechanism (ILM) CPU sockets, so no Pick-and-Place tools are required for CPU handling or installation. Always grasp the plastic frame on the CPU when handling.

Step 1 Power off the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 as described in Shutting Down and Powering Off the Cisco CSP 2100 X2.

Step 2 Slide the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might have to detach cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.

Caution If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 from the rack.

Step 3 Remove the top cover as described in Removing and Replacing the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 Top Cover.

Step 4 Remove the plastic air baffle that sits over the CPUs.

Step 5 Remove the heatsink that you are replacing:

a. Use a Number 2 Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the four captive screws that secure the heatsink.

Note Alternate loosening each screw evenly to avoid damaging the heatsink or CPU.

b. Lift the heatsink off of the CPU.

Step 6 Open the CPU retaining mechanism:

icon. See Figure 8-11.

b. Open the hinged CPU cover plate.

Figure 8-11 CPU Socket

Step 7 Remove any existing CPU:

a. With the latches and hinged CPU cover plate open, swing the CPU in its hinged seat up to the open position, as shown in Figure 8-11.

b. Grasp the CPU by the finger-grips on its plastic frame and lift it up and out of the hinged CPU seat.

c. Set the CPU aside on an antistatic surface.

Step 8 Install a new CPU:

a. Grasp the new CPU by the finger-grips on its plastic frame and align the tab on the frame that is labeled “ALIGN” with the hinged seat, as shown in Figure 8-12.

b. Insert the tab on the CPU frame into the seat until it stops and is held firmly.

The line below the word “ALIGN” should be level with the edge of the seat, as shown in Figure 8-12.

c. Swing the hinged seat with the CPU down until the CPU frame clicks in place and holds flat in the socket.

d. Close the hinged CPU cover plate.

icon. See Figure 8-11.

Figure 8-12 CPU and Socket Alignment Features

Step 9 Install a heat sink:

Caution The heat sink must have new thermal grease on the heat sink-to-CPU surface to ensure proper cooling. If you are reusing a heat sink, you must remove the old thermal grease from the heatsink and the CPU surface. If you are installing a new heat sink, skip to Step c.

a. Apply the cleaning solution, which is included with the heatsink cleaning kit (UCSX-HSCK=, shipped with spare CPUs), to the old thermal grease on the heatsink and CPU and let it soak for a least 15 seconds.

b. Wipe all of the old thermal grease off the old heat sink and CPU using the soft cloth that is included with the heatsink cleaning kit. Be careful to not scratch the heat sink surface.

Note New heatsinks come with a pre-applied pad of thermal grease. If you are reusing a heatsink, you must apply thermal grease from a syringe (UCS-CPU-GREASE3=).

c. Align the four heatsink captive screws with the motherboard standoffs, and then use a Number 2 Phillips-head screwdriver to tighten the captive screws evenly.

Note Alternate tightening each screw evenly to avoid damaging the heatsink or CPU.

Step 10 Replace the air baffle.

Step 11 Replace the top cover.

Step 12 Replace the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 in the rack, replace cables, and then power on the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 by pressing the Power button.

Additional CPU-Related Parts to Order with RMA Replacement Motherboards

When a return material authorization (RMA) of the motherboard or CPU is done on a Cisco CSP 2100 X2, additional parts might not be included with the CPU or motherboard spare bill of materials (BOM). The TAC engineer might need to add the additional parts to the RMA to help ensure a successful replacement.

Note Cisco CSP 2100 X2 uses the new independent loading mechanism (ILM) CPU sockets, so no Pick-and-Place tools are required for CPU handling or installation. Always grasp the plastic frame on the CPU when handling.

- Scenario 1—You are reusing the existing heatsinks:

– Heat sink cleaning kit (UCSX-HSCK=)

– Thermal grease kit for C240 M4 (UCS-CPU-GREASE3=)

- Scenario 2—You are replacing the existing heatsinks:

– Heat sink (UCSC-HS-C240M4=)

– Heat sink cleaning kit (UCSX-HSCK=)

A CPU heatsink cleaning kit is good for up to four CPU and heatsink cleanings. The cleaning kit contains two bottles of solution, one to clean the CPU and heatsink of old thermal interface material and the other to prepare the surface of the heatsink.

New heatsink spares come with a pre-applied pad of thermal grease. It is important to clean the old thermal grease off of the CPU prior to installing the heatsinks. Therefore, when you are ordering new heatsinks, you must order the heatsink cleaning kit.

Replacing a Cisco Modular RAID Controller Card

Cisco CSP 2100 X2 has an internal, dedicated PCIe slot on the motherboard for a Cisco modular RAID controller card (see Figure 8-13).

See also:

- Replacing a Modular RAID Controller Transportable Memory Module (TMM)

- Replacing the Supercap Power Module (RAID Backup Battery)

Note You cannot use a hardware RAID controller card and the embedded RAID controller at the same time.

RAID Card Firmware Compatibility

If the PCIe card that you are installing is a RAID controller card, firmware on the RAID controller must be verified for compatibility with the current Cisco IMC and BIOS versions that are installed on the Cisco CSP 2100 X2. If not compatible, upgrade or downgrade the RAID controller firmware accordingly using the Host Upgrade Utility (HUU) for your firmware release to bring it to a compatible level.

See the HUU guide for your Cisco IMC release for instructions on downloading and using the utility to bring Cisco CSP 2100 X2 components to compatible levels: HUU Guides

Replacement Procedure

Installing Multiple PCIe Cards and Resolving Limited Resources

When a large number of PCIe add-on cards are installed in the Cisco CSP 2100 X2, the system might run out of the following resources required for PCIe devices:

- Option ROM memory space

- 16-bit I/O space

The topics in this section provide guidelines for resolving the issues related to these limited resources:

- Resolving Insufficient Memory Space to Execute Option ROMs

- Resolving Insufficient 16-Bit I/O Space

Resolving Insufficient Memory Space to Execute Option ROMs

The system has very limited memory to execute PCIe legacy option ROMs, so when a large number of PCIe add-on cards are installed in the Cisco CSP 2100 X2, the system BIOS might not able to execute all of the option ROMs. The system BIOS loads and executes the option ROMs in the order that the PCIe cards are enumerated (slot 1, slot 2, slot 3, and so on).

If the system BIOS does not have sufficient memory space to load any PCIe option ROM, it skips loading that option ROM, reports a system event log (SEL) event to the Cisco IMC controller and reports the following error in the Error Manager page of the BIOS Setup utility:

ERROR CODE SEVERITY INSTANCE DESCRIPTION

146 Major N/A PCI out of resources error.

Major severity requires user

intervention but does not

prevent system boot.

To resolve this issue, disable the Option ROMs that are not needed for system booting. The BIOS Setup Utility provides the setup options to enable or disable the Option ROMs at the PCIe slot level for the PCIe expansion slots and at the port level for the onboard NICs. These options can be found in the BIOS Setup Utility Advanced > PCI Configuration page.

- Guidelines for RAID controller booting

If the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 is configured to boot primarily from RAID storage, make sure that the option ROMs for the slots where your RAID controllers installed are enabled in the BIOS, depending on your RAID controller configuration.

If the RAID controller does not appear in the system boot order even with the option ROMs for those slots are enabled, the RAID controller option ROM might not have sufficient memory space to execute. In that case, disable other option ROMs that are not needed for the system configuration to free up some memory space for the RAID controller option ROM.

- Guidelines for onboard NIC PXE booting

If the system is configured to primarily perform PXE boot from onboard NICs, make sure that the option ROMs for the onboard NICs to be booted from are enabled in the BIOS Setup Utility. Disable other option ROMs that are not needed to create sufficient memory space for the onboard NICs.

Resolving Insufficient 16-Bit I/O Space

The system has only 64 KB of legacy 16-bit I/O resources available. This 64 KB of I/O space is divided between the CPUs in the system because the PCIe controller is integrated into the CPUs. Cisco CSP 2100 X2 BIOS has the capability to dynamically detect the 16-bit I/O resource requirement for each CPU and then balance the 16-bit I/O resource allocation between the CPUs during the PCI bus enumeration phase of the BIOS POST.

When a large number of PCIe cards are installed in the system, the system BIOS might not have sufficient I/O space for some PCIe devices. If the system BIOS is not able to allocate the required I/O resources for any PCIe devices, the following symptoms have been observed:

- The system might get stuck in an infinite reset loop.

- The BIOS might appear to hang while initializing PCIe devices.

- The PCIe option ROMs might take excessive time to complete, which appears to lock up the system.

- PCIe boot devices might not be accessible from the BIOS.

- PCIe option ROMs might report initialization errors. These errors are seen before the BIOS passes control to the operating system.

- The keyboard might not work.

To work around this problem, rebalance the 16-bit I/O load using the following methods:

1. Physically remove any unused PCIe cards.

2. If the system has one or more Cisco virtual interface cards (VICs) installed, disable the PXE boot on the VICs that are not required for the system boot configuration by using the Network Adapters page in Cisco IMC Web UI to free up some 16-bit I/O resources. Each VIC uses a minimum 16 KB of 16-bit I/O resource, so disabling PXE boot on Cisco VICs would free up some 16-bit I/O resources that can be used for other PCIe cards that are installed in the system.

Installing a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

The trusted platform module (TPM) is a small circuit board that connects to a motherboard socket and is secured by a one-way screw.

TPM 2.0 Considerations

Trusted platform module (TPM) version 2.0 is supported on Intel v3- or Intel v4-based platforms.

If there is an existing TPM 1.2 installed in the Cisco CSP 2100 X2, you cannot upgrade to TPM 2.0.

If there is no existing TPM in the Cisco CSP 2100 X2, you can install TPM 2.0. You must first upgrade to Intel v4 code, regardless of whether the installed CPU is Intel v3 or v4. TPM 2.0 requires Intel v4 code or later.

Caution If your Intel v3 or Intel v4 system is currently supported and protected by TPM version 2.0, a potential security exposure might occur if you downgrade the system software and BIOS to a version earlier than those shown in Table 8-9.

Note If the TPM 2.0 becomes unresponsive, reboot the Cisco CSP 2100 X2.

Installing a Version 2 930W DC Power Supply, UCSC-PSU2V2-930DC

If you are using the Version 2 930W DC power supply, you connect power using a 3-wire cable with a keyed connector that plugs into a fixed power input socket on the power supply. .

Caution Before beginning this wiring procedure, turn off the DC power source from your facility’s circuit breaker to avoid electric shock hazard.

Step 1 Turn off the DC power source from your facility’s circuit breaker to avoid electric shock hazard.

Step 2 Wire the supplied 3-wire connector cable to your facility’s DC power source.

Note The supplied connector cable contains 8 AWG gauge wires. The recommended facility wire gauge is 8 AWG. The minimum facility wire gauge is 10 AWG.

Step 3 Plug the supplied connector cable into the power input socket on the power supply. The connector is keyed to the socket so that the polarity is aligned correctly.

Step 4 Return power from your facility’s DC power source at the circuit breaker.

Step 5 See Installation Grounding for additional information about chassis grounding.

Installation Grounding

The AC power supplies have internal grounding and so no additional grounding is required when the supported AC power cords are used.

When using a DC power supply, additional grounding of Cisco CSP 2100 X2 chassis to the earth ground of the rack is available. Screw holes for use with your grounding lugs and grounding wires are supplied on the chassis rear panel.

Note The grounding points on the chassis are sized for M5 screws. The grounding points are spaced at 0.625 inches (15.86 mm). You must provide your own screws, grounding lug, and grounding wire. The grounding lug required is a Panduit LCD10-14AF-L or equivalent. The grounding cable that you provide must be 14 AWG (2 mm), minimum 60° C wire, or as permitted by the local code.

See Figure 8-24 for the location of the grounding lug screw-holes on the chassis rear panel.

Replacing an mLOM Card

Cisco CSP 2100 X2 can use an mLOM card to provide additional connectivity. The mLOM card socket remains powered when the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 is in 12 V standby power mode and it supports the network communications services (NCSI) protocol.

Step 1 Power off the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 as described in Shutting Down and Powering Off the Cisco CSP 2100 X2.

Step 2 Slide the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might have to detach cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.

Caution If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 from the rack.

Step 3 Remove the top cover as described in Removing and Replacing the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 Top Cover.

Step 4 Remove PCIe riser 1 to provide clearance. See Replacing a PCIe Riser for instructions.

Step 5 Remove any existing mLOM card or a blanking panel (see Figure 8-26):

a. Loosen the single thumbscrew that secures the mLOM card to the chassis floor.

b. Slide the mLOM card horizontally to disengage its connector from the motherboard socket.

Step 6 Install a new mLOM card:

a. Set the mLOM card on the chassis floor so that its connector is aligned with the motherboard socket and its thumbscrew is aligned with the standoff on the chassis floor.

b. Push the card’s connector into the motherboard socket horizontally.

c. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the card to the chassis floor.

Step 7 Return PCIe riser 1 to the Cisco CSP 2100 X2. See Replacing a PCIe Riser for instructions.

Step 8 Replace the top cover.

Step 9 Replace the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 in the rack, replace cables, and then power on the Cisco CSP 2100 X2 by pressing the Power button.
