Working Inside The Blade Server - Cisco UCS B200 M3 Installation And Service Note

Working Inside the Blade Server

Installing a CMOS Battery
All Cisco UCS blade servers use a CR2032 battery to preserve BIOS settings while the server is not installed in a powered-on chassis.
Cisco supports the industry standard CR2032 battery that is available at most electronics stores.
Warning
There is danger of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
To install or replace the battery, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 Remove the existing battery:
a) Power off the blade, remove it from the chassis, and remove the top cover.
b) Push the battery socket retaining clip away from the battery.
c) Lift the battery from the socket. Use needle-nose pliers to grasp the battery if there is not enough clearance for your
fingers.
Step 2
Install the replacement battery:
a) Push the battery socket retaining clip away from where the battery fits in the housing.
b) Insert the new battery into the socket with the battery's positive (+) marking facing away from the retaining clip.
Ensure that the retaining clip can click over the top of the battery to secure it in the housing.
c) Replace the top cover.
d) Replace the blade server in the chassis.

Special Information For Upgrades to Intel E5-2600 v2 Series CPUs
Caution
You must upgrade your server firmware to the required minimum level before you upgrade to Intel E5-2600 v2 Series 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 server to support Intel E5-2600 v2 Series CPUs are as follows:
