The minimum vertical rack space per server must be one RU, equal to 1.75 in. (44.45 mm). Equipment Requirements The slide rails supplied by Cisco Systems for this server do not require tools for installation. The inner rails (mounting brackets) are pre-attached to the sides of the server.
Use your finger to hold the rear securing latch open when you insert the rear mounting pegs to their holes. When you release the latch, it wraps around the rack post and secures the slide-rail assembly. Cisco UCS C24 Server Installation and Service Guide OL-26647-01...
Page 24
The inner rails are pre-attached to the sides of the server at the factory. You can order replacement inner rails if these are damaged or lost (Cisco PID UCSC-RAIL1-I). Align the inner rails that are attached to the server sides with the front ends of the empty slide rails.

Cisco card connection is not getting its IP address from a Cisco UCS Manager system because the server is in standalone mode, further DHCP requests from the Cisco card are disabled. Use the Cisco Card NIC mode if you want to connect to the CIMC through a Cisco card in standalone mode.
LOM and Cisco Card interfaces are both enabled. In this mode, DHCP replies are returned to both the shared LOM ports and the Cisco card ports. If the system determines that the Cisco card connection is not getting its IP address from a Cisco UCS Manager system because the server is in standalone mode, further DHCP requests from the Cisco card are disabled.
See the Cisco Host Upgrade Utility Quick Reference Guide for your firmware level at the documentation roadmap link below. Your system firmware must be at minimum level 1.2 to use the Cisco Host Upgrade Utility. If Note your firmware is prior to level 1.2, you must use the methods below to update the BIOS and CIMC firmware individually.

Replacing a PCIe Card Caution Cisco supports all PCIe cards qualified and sold by Cisco. PCIe cards not qualified or sold by Cisco are the responsibility of the customer. Although Cisco will always stand behind and support the C-Series rack-mount servers, customers using standard, off-the-shelf, third-party cards must go to the third-party card vendor for support if any issue with that particular third-party card occurs.

Enabling a Pre-Loaded Cisco USB Flash Drive Virtual Drive Each of the VDs on the pre-loaded Cisco USB flash drive can be separately enabled or hidden from the host. The default as shipped from the factory is for all VDs to be hidden.
Booting a Pre-Loaded Cisco USB Flash Drive Virtual Drive When you want to access the Cisco SCU or Cisco HUU software, you boot its VD with a one-time boot option. When you want to boot the hypervisor (HV) VD, you boot it with a permanent boot order selection.
Monitoring and Managing a Cisco USB Flash Drive You can monitor and manage your installed Cisco USB Flash Drive by using the CIMC GUI interface or the CLI interface. See the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Server Configuration Guide or the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Server CLI Configuration Guide in the documentation roadmap linked below.
