Cisco SNS 3415 and Cisco SNS-3495 Appliances
The Cisco SNS 3415 or Cisco SNS 3495 server is designed for performance and density over a wide range
of business workloads, from web serving to distributed databases.
Building on the success of the Cisco SNS 3415 or Cisco SNS 3495 server, the enterprise-class Cisco SNS
3415 or Cisco SNS 3495 server further extends the capabilities of the Cisco Unified Computing System
portfolio in a 1U form factor. The Cisco SNS 3415 or Cisco SNS 3495 server does this with the addition of
the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family, which delivers significant performance and efficiency gains.
In addition, the Cisco SNS 3415 Cisco SNS 3495 server offers up to 256 GB of RAM, 8 drives, and 2 x 1
GbE lights-out management (LOM) ports that deliver outstanding levels of density and performance in a
compact package.

CHAPTER 2
Before You Begin
This section provides information on how you can prepare your site for safely installing the Cisco SNS-3415
or Cisco SNS-3495 appliance.
•Safety Guidelines, page 11

•Prepare for Server Installation, page 13
•Server Specifications, page 15
Safety Guidelines
Before you install, operate, or service a Cisco SNS-3415 or Cisco SNS-3495 appliance, review the
Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for Cisco SNS-3415, Cisco SNS-3495, Cisco SNS-3515,
and Cisco SNS-3595 Appliances for important safety information.
Note
Warning: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you
work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with
standard practices for preventing accidents. Use the statement number provided at the end of each warning
to locate its translation in the translated safety warnings that accompanied this device.
Statement 1071
Warning
Warning: To prevent the system from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum
recommended ambient temperature of: 40° C (104° F).
Statement 1047
Warning
Cisco SNS-3400 Series Appliance Hardware Installation Guide

Warning: The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times, because it serves as the main
disconnecting device.
Statement 1019
Warning
This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that the
protective device is rated not greater than: 250 V, 15 A.
Statement 1005
Warning
Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.
Statement 1074
Warning
When you are installing a server, use the following guidelines:
•Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the server. See the Cisco UCS Site
Preparation Guide for the recommended site planning tasks.
•Ensure that there is adequate space around the server to allow for servicing the server and for adequate
airflow. The airflow in this server is from front to back.
•Ensure that the air-conditioning meets the thermal requirements listed in the Server Specifications, on
page 15.
•Ensure that the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in the Rack Requirements, on page 15.
•Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in the Power Specifications, on page
16. If available, you can use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power failures.
Avoid UPS types that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable with systems
such as the Cisco UCS, which can have substantial current draw fluctuations from fluctuating data traffic
patterns.
Caution
Unpack and Inspect the Server
When handling internal server components, wear an ESD strap and handle modules by the carrier edges
only.
Caution
Keep the shipping container in case the server requires shipping in the future.Note

Before You Begin
Unpack and Inspect the Server

The chassis is thoroughly inspected before shipment. If any damage occurred during transportation or any
items are missing, contact your customer service representative immediately.
Note
To inspect the shipment:
Step 1 Remove the server from its cardboard container and save all packaging material.
Step 2 Compare the shipment to the equipment list provided by your customer service representative and the list given below.
Verify that you have all items.
Step 3 Check for damage and report any discrepancies or damage to your customer service representative. Have the following
information ready:
•Invoice number of shipper (see the packing slip)
•Model and serial number of the damaged unit
•Description of damage
•Effect of damage on the installation
