Installing or Replacing Cisco CSP 2100 X2 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 X2 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 X2. This button allows you to locate the specific Cisco CSP 2100 X2 that you are servicing when you go to the opposite side of the rack. You can also activate these LEDs remotely by using the Cisco IMC interface. See the “Status LEDs and Buttons” section for locations of these LEDs.

Replacing SAS/SATA Hard Drives or Solid State Drives
This section includes the following information:
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.

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).

Replacing DIMMs
This section includes the following topics:
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
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
|
DIMMs in the Same Channel
|
|
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:
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
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
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
|
|
Server CIMC

– 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:
a. Unclip the first retaining latch labeled with the
icon, and then unclip the second retaining latch labeled with the

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:
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:

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
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
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.
