Connecting And Powering On The Server (Standalone Mode) - Cisco SNS 3415 Installing Manual

Chapter 8 Installing the Cisco SNS 3415 and Cisco SNS 3495 Hardware Appliances
Equipment racks and enclosures house more equipment today than ever before. This growth has
increased the need for organized cable management both inside and outside the rack. Poor cable
management not only leads to damaged cables or increased time for adding or changing cables, but also
blocks critical airflow or access. These problems can lead to inefficiencies in the performance of your
equipment or even downtime.
There are many solutions to address cable management. They can range from simple cable management
rings, to vertical or horizontal organizers, to troughs and ladders.
All Cisco SNS-3415 or Cisco SNS-3495 appliance cables should be properly dressed so as not to
interfere with each other or other pieces of equipment. Use local practices to ensure that the cables
attached to your appliance are properly dressed.

management when using the server in standalone mode. To use the server in UCS integration, specific
cabling and settings are required. See
The server is shipped with a default NIC mode called Shared LOM, default NIC redundancy is
Note
active-active, and DHCP is enabled. Shared LOM mode enables the two 1-Gb Ethernet ports to access
the Cisco Integrated Management Interface (CIMC). If you want to use the 1-Gb Ethernet dedicated
management port, or a port on a Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card (VIC) to access the CIMC, you
must first connect to the server and change the NIC mode as described in Step 3 of the following
procedure. In that step, you can also change the NIC redundancy and set static IP settings.
Use the following procedure to perform initial setup of the server:
Attach a supplied power cord to each power supply in your server, and then attach the power cord to a
