The Cisco UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Card is a virtualization-optimized Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) adapter card. The virtual interface card is a dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter card that supports up to 128 Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) standards-compliant virtual interfaces that can be dynamically configured so that both their interface type (network interface card [NIC] or host bus adapter [HBA]) and identity (MAC address and worldwide name [WWNN]) are established using just-in-time provisioning. In addition, the Cisco UCS M81KR supports network interface virtualization and Cisco VN-Link technology. Unique to the Cisco Unified Computing System, the Cisco UCS M81KR is designed for both traditional operating system and virtualization environments. It is optimized for virtualized environments, for organizations that seek increased mobility in their physical environments, and for data centers that want reduced TCO through NIC, HBA, cabling, and switch reduction. The Cisco UCS M81KR presents up to 128 virtual interfaces to the operating system on a given blade. The 128 virtual interfaces can be dynamically configured by Cisco UCS Manager as either Fibre Channel or Ethernet devices. Deployment of applications using multiple Ethernet and Fibre Channel interfaces is no longer constrained by the available physical adapters. To an operating system or a hypervisor running on a Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Server, the virtual interfaces appear as regular PCIe devices. The Cisco UCS M81KR has built-in architectural support enabling the virtual machine to directly access the adapter. I/O bottlenecks and memory performance can be improved by providing virtual machines direct access to hardware I/O devices, eliminating the overhead of embedded software switches. The Cisco UCS M81KR also brings adapter consolidation to physical environments. The adapter can be defined as multiple different NICs and HBAs. For example, one adapter card can replace two quad-port NICs and two single-port HBAs, resulting in fewer NICs, HBAs, switches, and cables.
Cisco UCS 82598KR-CI 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

The Cisco UCS 82598KR-CI 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter is based on the Intel 82598 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller, which is designed for efficient high-performance Ethernet transport. It provides a solution for data center environments that need low-latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet transport capability, and a dual-port connection to the midplane of the blade server chassis. The Cisco UCS 82598KR-CI supports Intel Input/Output Acceleration Technology (I/OAT) as well as virtual queues for I/O virtualization. The adapter is energy efficient and can also help reduce CPU utilization by providing large segment offload (LSO) and TCP segmentation offload (TSO). The Cisco UCS 82598KR-CI uses Intel Virtual Machine Device Queue (VMDq) technology for the efficient routing of packets to the appropriate virtual machine.

Cisco UCS 2104XP I/O Modules (N20-I6584)

Cisco UCS 2100 Series I/O Modules bring the unified fabric into the blade server enclosure, providing 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between blade servers and the fabric interconnect, simplifying diagnostics, cabling, and management. The Cisco UCS 2100 Series extends the I/O fabric between the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnects and the Cisco UCS 5100 Series Blade Server Chassis, enabling a lossless and deterministic Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) fabric to connect all blades and chassis together. Since the I/O Module is similar to a distributed line card, it does not do any switching and is managed as an extension of the fabric interconnects. This approach removes switching from the chassis, reducing overall infrastructure complexity and enabling the Cisco Unified Computing System to scale to many chassis without multiplying the number of switches needed, reducing TCO and allowing all chassis to be managed as a single, highly available management domain.

OL-20035-03
Chapter 1
The Cisco 2100 Series also manages the chassis environment (the power supply and fans as well as the blades) in conjunction with the fabric interconnect. Therefore, separate chassis management modules are not required. Cisco UCS 2100 Series I/O Modules fit into the back of the Cisco UCS 5100 Series chassis. Each Cisco UCS 5100 Series chassis can support up to two I/O modules, enabling increased capacity as well as redundancy.

Connectors
Four single-phase, hot-swappable power supplies are accessible from the front of the chassis. These power supplies are 92 percent efficient and can be configured to support nonredundant, N+1 redundant, and grid-redundant configurations.
Power Supply Redundancy

When considering power supply redundancy you need to take several things into consideration:

Power supplies are all single phase and have a single input for connectivity to customer power source (rack PDU such as the Cisco RP Series PDU or equivalent). The number of power supplies required to power a chassis varies depending on the following factors:
The total "Maximum Draw" required to power all the components configured within that
chassissuch as I/O modules, fans, blade servers (CPU and memory configuration of the blade servers).
The Desired Power Redundancy for the chassis. The supported power configurations are
non-redundant, N+1 redundancy (or any requirement greater than N+1), and grid redundancy.
1-12
OL-20035-03
Chapter 1
To configure redundancy, use the UCS Manager GUI or use the the scope psu-policy CLI command to enter PSU policy mode, then use the appropriate option for the set redundancy {grid | n-plus-1 | non-redund} command.
Non-redundant Mode
In a non-redundant or combined mode, all installed power supplies are turned on and balance the load evenly. Smaller configurations (requiring less than 2500W) can be powered by a single power supply. However, a single power supply cannot provide redundancy and if either the power input or power supply fail, the system wil immediately shut down. More common configurations require two or more power supplies (if requirements are between 2500 and 5000 watts peak) in non-redundant mode.
Note
In a non- redundant system, power supplies can be in any slot. Installing less than the required number of power supplies results in undesired behavior such as server blade shutdown. Installing more than the required amount of power supplies may result in lower power supply efficiency. At most, this mode will require two power supplies.
N+1 Redundancy
The N+1 redundancy configuration implies that the chassis contains a total number of power supplies to satisfy non-redundancy, plus one additional power supply for redundancy. All the power supplies that are participating in N+1 redundancy are turned on and equally share the power load for the chassis. If any additional power supplies are installed, UCS Manager recognizes these unnecessary power supplies and places them on standby. If a power supply should fail, the surviving supply(s) can provide power to the chassis. In addition, UCS Manager turns on any "turned-off" power supplies to bring the system back to N+1 status. To provide N+1 protection, the following number of power supplies is recommended:

Three power supplies are recommended if the power configuration for that chassis requires greater than 2500W Two power supplies are sufficient if the power configuration for that chassis requires less than 2500W
Adding an additional power supply to either of these configurations will provide an extra level of protection. UCS Manager turns on the extra power supply in the event of a failure, and restores N+1 protection.
Note
An n+1 redundant system will have either two or three power supplies, which may be in any slot.
Grid Redundancy
The grid redundant configuration is sometimes used when you have two power sources to power a chassis or you require greater than N+1 redundancy. If one source fails (which causes a loss of power to one or two power supplies), the surviving power supplies on the other power circuit continue to provide power to the chassis. A common reason for using grid redundancy is if the rack power distribution is such that power is provided by two PDUs and you want the grid redundancy protection in the case of a PDU failure. To provide grid redundant (or greater than N+1) protection, the following number of power supplies is recommended:
1-13
Chapter 1 LEDs
Product Overview

Four power supplies are recommended if the power configuration for that chassis requires greater than 2500W Two power supplies are recommended if the power configuration for that chassis requires less than 2500W
Note
Both grids in a power redundant system should have the same number of power supplies. If your system is configured for grid redundancy, slots 1 and 2 are assigned to to GRID 1 and slots 3 and 4 are assigned to grid 2. If there are only two power supplies (PS) in the a redundant- mode chassis, they should be in slots 1 and 3. Slot and cord connection numbering is shown in Figure 1-3.

Rack Requirements, page 2-2 Airflow Considerations, page 2-2 Moving Server Chassis, page 2-3 Installation Guidelines, page 2-3 Required Equipment, page 2-4 Unpacking and Inspecting the Chassis, page 2-4
Rack Requirements
This section provides the requirements for installing the Cisco UCS 5108 chassis in a standard open racks, assuming an external ambient air temperature range of 0 to 104 oF (17.8 to 40oC):
Note
Do not use racks that have obstructions. These obstructions could impair access to field-replaceable units (FRUs). The Cisco R Series Racks are an ideal choice. If other racks will be used, the rack must be of the following type:

Standard 19 inch (48.3 cm) four-post EIA rack, with mounting rails that conform to English universal hole spacing per section 1 of ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992. The mounting holes of the rails in the rack must be square. The tool-less rack-mount kit shipped with the chassis is required.
The rack must also meet the following requirements:
The minimum available vertical rack space per chassis must be six RU (rack units), equal to 10.5 inches (26.7 cm).
Cable Management
To help with cable management, allow additional space in the rack above and below the chassis to make it easier to route copper cables (plus up to eight copper cables per Cisco UCS 5108 server chassis) through the rack.
Airflow Considerations
Airflow through the chassis is from front to back. Air enters the chassis through the blade servers and power supply grills at the front of the chassis and exits through the fan modules on the back of the chassis. To ensure proper airflow, follow these guidelines:

Maintain ambient airflow throughout the data center to ensure normal operation. Consider the heat dissipation of all equipment when determining air-conditioning requirements. Do not allow the exhaust of one system to be the intake for another system.
2-2
OL-20035-03
Chapter 2
Installing the Cisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis Preparing for Installation

When evaluating airflow requirements, take into consideration that the hot air generated by equipment at the bottom of the rack can be drawn in the intake of the equipment above. Make sure that the exhaust at the rear of the chassis is unobstructed for at least 24 in. (61 cm). This includes obstruction due to messy cables as shown in Figure 2-12 on page 2-16. Some blade servers ship with internal shrouds that are placed over the DIMMs and CPUs. They are used to channel airflow to where it is needed the most. If a shroud can be used a given model, it should be used.
Moving Server Chassis

When lifting the chassis, be aware of its weight, and follow these guidelines:
Caution
Do not try to lift the chassis using the handles on the side. These handles are intended only for moving and adjusting the chassis position.

Never lift the chassis alonealways use two people to lift the chassis. If available, use a scissor jack or other lifting device designed for installing heavy equipment into data center racks. Disconnect all power and external cables before lifting the chassis. Remove all I/O modules, power supplies, fans, and servers from the chassis before lifting.
Caution
Do not remove the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) located at the back of the chassis.

Ensure that your footing is solid and the weight of the system is evenly distributed between your feet. Lift the system slowly, keeping your back straight. Lift with your legs, not with your back. Bend at the knees, not at the waist.
Installation Guidelines
When installing the chassis, follow these guidelines:
Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the chassis. See Appendix B, Site Planning and Maintenance Records, for the recommended site planning tasks. Further detail is provided in the Cisco UCS Site Preparation Guide. Record the information listed in Appendix B, Site Planning and Maintenance Records, as you install and configure the chassis. Ensure that there is adequate space around the chassis to allow for servicing the chassis and for airflow. Ensure that the air-conditioning meets the heat dissipation requirements listed in Appendix A, Technical Specifications. Ensure that the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in Rack Requirements, page 2-2
Note
Jumper power cords are available for use in a rack. See the Cable and Power Cord Specifications section on page A-3.
2-3
Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in Appendix A, Technical Specifications. If available, you can use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power failures.
Caution
Avoid UPS types that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable with systems such as the Cisco UCS system, which can have substantial current draw fluctuations from fluctuating data traffic patterns.
Ensure that circuits are sized according to local and national codes. For North America, the power supply requires a 20-A circuit.
Caution
To prevent loss of input power, ensure that the total maximum loads on the circuits supplying power to the chassis are within the current ratings for the wiring and breakers.
Use the following torque values when installing the chassis:

10-32 screws: 20 in-lb
Required Equipment
Before you begin the installation, ensure that you have the following items:

Number 1 and number 2 Phillips-head screwdrivers with torque measuring capabilities Tape measure and level ESD wrist strap or other grounding device Antistatic mat or antistatic foam
Unpacking and Inspecting the Chassis

Caution
When handling chassis components, wear an ESD strap and handle modules by the carrier edges only.
Tip
Keep the shipping container in case the chassis requires shipping in the future.
Note
The chassis is thoroughly inspected before shipment. If any damage occurred during transportation or any items are missing, contact your customer service representative immediately. To inspect the shipment, follow these steps:
Step 1 Step 2
Remove the chassis from its cardboard container. Save all packaging material. Compare the shipment to the equipment list provided by your customer service representative and verify that you have received the following items:

Chapter 2 Installing the Chassis
To install the tool-less rails into a square hole rack, follow these steps:
Step 1
Remove the mounting template (Cisco 78-19093-01) from the accessory box. The template is designed to show you the proper holes within which the rails and cage nuts should be placed. Once the rack holes line up with the template, you should mark the holes so that their position is known after removing the template. Adjust the length of the rail by sliding the ends of the rail back and forth until they match the depth of the rack (see Figure 2-1).

Step 4 Step 5
Replace all servers, fans, and power supplies back into their respective chassis slots. If necessary, refer to Chapter 3, Installing and Removing Components. To power up the chassis, connect the appropriate power cables to the 220 VACinlet connector corresponding to each installed power supply, and then connect the other end of the cables to the power source. For power source requirements, see Power Specifications, page A-2. To determine the number of power supplies needed for a given configuration, refer the Cisco UCS Power Calculator.
Note
Both grids in a power redundant system should have the same number of power supplies. If your system is configured for grid redundancy, slots 1 and 2 are assigned to to GRID 1 and slots 3 and 4 are assigned to grid 2. If there are only two power supplies (PS) in the a redundant- mode chassis, they should be in slots 1 and 3. Slot and cord connection numbering is shown in Figure 2-8.

Connect the server chassis to the fabric interconnect as described in Proper I/O Module and Port Fabric Interconnect Connectivity, page 2-12.
Proper I/O Module and Port Fabric Interconnect Connectivity

Figure 2-9 shows the correct method to connect the I/O modules to two separate port fabric interconnects. You must connect each port fabric interconnect to the chassis through its own I/O module.
Note
The following illustrations show connections between the chassis I/OMs and the fabric interconnects. These connections are for example only, you do not need to connect all four ports of the I/OM to the fabric interconnect. Furthermore, you can connect a I/OM port to any one of its fabric interconnects ports.

All ports of a I/O module must be connected to only one fabric interconnect. If you need to connect to a second fabric interconnect, you must add a second I/O module to the chassis. Additionally, all ports of the second I/O module must be connected to the second fabric interconnect only. Figure 2-10 shows an example of an incorrect connection between a second port fabric interconnect and one I/O module. The second fabric interconnect should be connected to the second I/O module installed in the chassis.

Cable management can be an important factor in preventing overheating issues. In Figure 2-12, the before illustration shows cables blocking the rear of the chassis, and preventing the fans from exhausting warm air from the chassis. This situation causes failed DIMMs in the blade servers, and seemingly random server shutdowns when internal temperatures exceed specification. Use cable ties and other wiring practices to keep the rear of the chassis unobstructed as shown in the after illustration.

Use UCS Manager to shut down the OS on all blade servers in the chassis. Graceful shutdown of a blade server is discussed in the System Management section, Managing Blade Servers chapter of the UCS Manager configuration guide for your software release. The related CLI commands are:
UCS-A# scope org UCS-A /org # scope service-profile service-profile-name UCS-A /org/service-profile # power down
2.
Disable the Smart Call Home feature, as mentioned in the System Monitoring section, Configuring Call Home chapter of the UCS Manager configuration guide for your software release. The related CLI commands are:
UCS-A# scope monitoring UCS-A /monitoring # scope callhome UCS-A /monitoring/callhome # disable
3.
Decommision the chassis as described in the System Management section, Managing the Chassis chapter of the UCS Manager configuration guide for your software release. The related CLI command is decommission-chassis chassis-num .

Installing the Cisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis Repacking the Chassis
To physically remove the chassis from a rack, follow these steps:
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6
Disconnect the power cords and networking cables from the chassis. Remove all modules and blades from the chassis to lighten its weight. Remove the screws holding the front rack-mount flange to the rack. With two people holding the chassis, make sure that its weight is fully supported. Gently slide the chassis off the rails, and out of the rack. Replace the modules and blades in the server chassis.
Repacking the Chassis

If you need to repack the chassis, remove it from the rack by following the steps in the Removing the Chassis from a Rack section on page 2-16, and then pack it for shipment. If possible, use the original packing materials and container to pack the chassis. If you are returning the chassis to Cisco Systems, contact your Cisco customer service representative to arrange for return shipment to Cisco.
SFP+ Transceivers
Each Cisco UCS 2104XP I/O module within the chassis supports up to four Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) copper or optical transceivers. Each transceiver runs at 10 Gb.
SFP+ Twinax Copper Transceivers

The Cisco UCS 2104XP I/O module supports Twinax copper transceivers. The enhanced SFP+ 10-Gb Ethernet transceiver is a bidirectional device with a transmitter and receiver in the same physical package. It has a 20-pin connector on the electrical interface.

Chapter 3 Installing and Removing Power Supplies
Figure 3-4 Positioning a Power Supply (N20-PAC5-2500W) in the Cisco UCS Server Chassis
Note
Both grids in a power redundant system should have the same number of power supplies. If your system is configured for grid redundancy, slots 1 and 2 are assigned to grid 1 and slots 3 and 4 are assigned to grid 2. If there are only two power supplies in a redundant- mode chassis, they should be in slots 1 and 3. This would be a very unusual configuration, with a single B200 blade server in the chassis. A larger configuration would require two power supplies per grid. Slot and cord connection numbering is shown in Figure 3-5.
