This section contains two procedures:
•
•
Installing a Release 1.2(2xx) Server With Cisco UCS Manager 1.4 or 2.0(1)

ready to be connected to the Cisco UCS Manager 1.4 or 2.0(1) environment immediately.
Release 1.3(x) does not support UCS integration. Do not upgrade your server later than 1.2(2xx) if you
Note
want to use the server in UCSM mode with UCS Manager 1.4 or 2.0(1).

A Cisco UCS system running Cisco UCS Manager software release 1.4(1x) or 2.0(1x).
A Cisco UCS C-Series server with a 10-Gb adapter card installed.
If you install a Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card (N2XX-ACPCI01), see
Considerations for the Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card (N2XX-ACPCI01), page
To use this card for UCS integration, the minimum card-firmware level is 1.4(1i).
Two Cisco UCS 6100 Series or 6200 Series FIs. The switch ports that carry server traffic must be
enabled as server ports.
Two Cisco Nexus 2248 FEXes.
You must plug a power cord into each of the two power supplies in the FEX. If a power supply
is not connected to power, you might see "Major" faults reported during power-on self test
(POST). For example,
