MCN-2600T
Memory Population
MCN-2600T is equipped with twelve (12) DDR4 (Double-Data-Rate Fourth Generation
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) slots. Each CPU supports two
independent channels (CPU0: Channel A/B; CPU1: Channel E/F) with three DIMM slots
per channel. The DIMM slots of each channel must be populated starting with the slot
farthest from the CPU, as shown in the diagram below. Note: the slots of the two channels
do not have to be populated with the same number of DIMMs.

1 Two 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports
2 Two USB 3.0 port
3 VGA connector
4 RJ-45 console port
5 Two 2.5’’ drive bays
2.3 Inserting and Removing the CPU Sled
Refer to the chapter "Assembling and Powering Up the CSA-7400” in the “CSA-7400 User’s

3 Powering Up the CPU Sled
3.1 Power-Up Behavior
When power is supplied to the CSA-7400, all components will power up automatically. The
behavior of the system when powered up is described below.
1. Cooling fans start speeding up as soon as power is applied to the system.
2. Power LEDs of both CPU and switch nodes turn ON (green).
3. CPU nodes start booting up: The status LED turns ON (red), indicating BIOS POST
status. After BIOS POST is completed, the status LED changes from red to green,
Indicating system status
Note: The BMC Watchdog timeout will turn off the status LED. If the BMC watchdog
is not enabled, the green status LED will stay on.
4. After a few seconds, the switch node A/S LED turns ON (steady or blinking)
indicating CM Active/Standby status.
3.2 Health/Status Indicators
This section covers all of the LEDs on the MCN-2600T CPU sled.
