Upgrading to a Cisco UCS B460 M4 Blade Server
Before you begin
-
Ensure that the UCS B260 M4 Blade Module is installed in slot 7 in the chassis. This module will the be master in the UCS B460 M4 blade server.
-
Ensure that the UCS B260 M4 Blade Module from the upgrade kit is installed in slot 5 in the chassis.
Note |
The KVM cable, USB flash device, and the SD cards must be configured in the UCS B260 M4 Blade Module installed in slot 7. These components only operate in the master blade. |
The following procedure describes installing a UCS B460 M4 blade server in slots 7 and 5. Other slot combinations can also be used, including slots 5 and 3, and slots 3 and 1. However, the heaviest blade server in the chassis should be installed in the lowest slots so if only one UCS B460 M4 is to be installed, then it should go in slots 7 and 5.
Procedure
Step 1 |
Remove the UCS Scalability Terminator from the UCS B260 M4 Blade Module installed in slot 7. See Removing the Scalability Terminator. |
Step 2 |
Install the UCS B260 M4 Blade Module from the upgrade kit into slot 5 if the module is not already installed. |
Step 3 |
Use the UCS Scalability Connector to connect together the blade modules in slot 7 and slot 5. See Installing a Scalability Connector. |
