Connecting the Management Port

Caution To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the management port to the network until the initial
configuration is complete. For configuration instructions, see the Configuration Guide for the version of Cisco
UCS Manager that you are using. The configuration guides are available at this URL:

• Use a cross-over cable to connect to a router interface.
Step 2
Connect the other end of the cable to the device.

Caution
To prevent damage to the fiber-optic cables, do not place more tension on them than the rated limit and do
not bend to a radius of less than 1 inch if there is no tension in the cable, or 2 inches if there is tension in the
cable.
