Cisco UCS B200 Blade Server Installation and
Service Note
The UCS B200 blade server (shown in Figure 1) is now only available in the M2 version (the M1 version
is no longer sold as of 1/21/2011). The procedures in this document apply to both versions. The Cisco
UCS B200 is a half-width blade with 12 DIMM slots; it supports one adapter. You may install up to eight
UCS B200 Blade Servers to a UCS chassis.

LEDs
The LED indicators indicate whether the blade server is in active or standby mode, the status of the
network link, the over all health of the blade server, and whether the server is set to give a flashing blue
beaconing indication. See Table 1 for details.
The removable hard disks also have LEDs indicating hard disk access activity and hard disk health.
Buttons
The Reset button is just inside the chassis and must be pressed using the tip of a paper clip or a similar
item. Hold the button down for five seconds and then release it to restart the server if other methods of
restarting are not working.
The beaconing function for an individual server may get turned on or off by pressing the combination
button and LED. See Table 1 for details.
The power button and LED allows you to manually take a server temporarily out of service but leave it
in a state where it can be restarted quickly. If the desired power state for a service profile associated with
a blade server or an integrated rack-mount server is set to "off", using the power button or Cisco UCS
Manager to reset the server will cause the desired power state of the server to become out of sync with
the actual power state and the server may unexpected shutdown at a later time. To safely reboot a server
from a power-down state, use the Boot Server action in Cisco UCS Manager.

Connectors
A console port is provided to give a direct connection to a blade server to allow operating system
installation and other management tasks to be done directly rather than remotely. The port uses the KVM
dongle device included in the chassis accessory kit.
The KVM cable (N20-BKVM shown in Figure 2) provides a connection into a Cisco UCS blade server,
providing a DB9 serial connector, a VGA connector for a monitor, and dual USB ports for a keyboard
and mouse. With this cable you can create a direct connection to the operating system and the BIOS
running on a blade server.

Installing and Removing a Blade Server Hard Drive
Installing and Removing a Blade Server Hard Drive
There are up to 2 front-accessible, hot-swappable, 2.5-inch drives per blade. An LSI 1064E RAID
controller is embedded in the motherboard (it is not separately replaceable) and it supports RAID 0 and
1. You can remove blade server hard drives without removing the blade server from the chassis. All other
component replacement for a blade server requires removing the blade from the chassis. Unused hard
drive bays should always be covered with cover plates (N20-BBLKD) to assure proper cooling and
ventilation. The chassis is omitted from illustrations here to simplify the drawing.
Caution To prevent ESD damage, wear grounding wrist straps during these procedures and handle modules by
the carrier edges only.
Note Seagate SATA disks and Intel or Samsung SATA SSDs are not supported in UCS Manager release 1.2(1)
and can not be used with servers using UCS Manager release 1.2(1).
Caution RAID array migration between a B200 M1 or B200 M2 and a B200 M3 is not supported
Replacing an HDD or SSD with a drive of the same size, model, and manufacturer generally causes few
problems with UCS Manager. If the drive being replaced was part of a RAID array we recommend using
a newly ordered drive of identical size, model, and manufacturer to replace the failed drive. Cisco
recommends following industry standard practice of using drives of the same capacity when creating
RAID volumes. If drives of different capacities are used, the useable portion of the smallest drive will
be used on all drives that make up the RAID volume. Before upgrading or adding an HDD to a running
system, check the service profile in UCS Manager and make sure the new hardware configuration will
be within the parameters allowed by the service profile.
Hard disk and RAID troubleshooting information is in the "Troubleshooting Server Hardware" chapter
of the Cisco UCS Troubleshooting Guide.

If you need to move a RAID cluster, refer to the Moving a RAID Cluster section of the "Troubleshooting
Server Hardware" chapter of the Cisco UCS Troubleshooting Guide.
Removing and Installing a UCS B200 Blade Server
Before performing any internal operation on a blade server, you must remove it from the chassis. To
prevent ESD damage, wear grounding wrist straps during these procedures and handle modules by the
carrier edges only.
Caution To prevent ESD damage, wear grounding wrist straps during these procedures and handle modules by
the carrier edges only.
Shutting Down and Powering Off A Blade Server
The server can run in two power modes:
•Main power mode—Power is supplied to all server components and any operating system on your
hard drives can run.
•Standby power mode—Power is supplied only to the service processor and the cooling fans and it
is safe to power off the server from this mode.
After establishing a connection to the blade server’s operating system, you can directly shut down the
blade server using the operating system.
You can invoke a graceful shutdown or an emergency shutdown (hard shutdown) by using either of the
following methods:
•Use the UCS Manager. See either the Cisco UCS Manager GUI Configuration Guide or the Cisco
UCS Manager CLI Configuration Guide.
•Use the Power button on the server front panel. To use the Power button, follow these steps:
Step 1 Check the color of the Power Status LED.
•Green indicates that the server is in main power mode and must be shut down before it can be safely
powered off. Go to Step 2.
•Amber indicates that the server is already in standby mode and can be safely powered off. Go to
Step 3.
Step 2 Invoke either a graceful shutdown or a hard shutdown:
Caution To avoid data loss or damage to your operating system, you should always invoke a graceful shutdown
of the operating system.

Removing and Installing a UCS B200 Blade Server
•Graceful shutdown—Press and release the Power button. The operating system will perform a
graceful shutdown and the server goes to standby mode, which is indicated by an amber Power
Status LED.
•Emergency shutdown—Press and hold the Power button for 4 seconds to force the main power off
and immediately enter standby mode.
Step 3 If you are shutting down all blade servers in a chassis, you should now disconnect the power cords from
the chassis to completely power off the servers. If you are only shutting down one server, you can skip
unplugging the chassis and move to removing the server.
Removing a Cisco UCS B200 Blade Server
Using UCS Manager, decommission the server using UCS Manager before physically removing the
server. To remove a blade server from the chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1 Loosen the captive screw on the front of the blade.
Step 2 Remove the blade from the chassis by pulling the ejector lever on the blade until it unseats the blade
server.
Step 3 Slide the blade part of the way out of the chassis, and place your other hand under the blade to support
its weight.
Step 4 Once removed, place the blade on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam if you are not immediately
reinstalling it into another slot.
Step 5 If the slot is to remain empty, install a blank faceplate (N20-CBLKB1) to keep dust out of the chassis.
Installing a Cisco UCS B200 Blade Server
To install a blade server, follow these steps:
Step 1 Grasp the front of the blade server and place your other hand under the blade to support it. See Figure 5.

Figure 5 Positioning a Blade Server in the Chassis
Step 2 Open the ejector lever in the front of the blade server.
Step 3 Gently slide the blade into the opening until you cannot push it any farther.
Step 4 Press the ejector lever so that it catches the edge of the chassis and presses the blade server all the way in.
Step 5 Tighten the captive screw on the front of the blade to no more than 3 in-lbs. Tightening with bare fingers
only is unlikely to lead to stripped or damaged captive screws.
Step 6 Power on the server. UCS Manager will automatically re acknowledge, reassociate, and recommission
the server, provided any hardware changes are allowed by the service profile.
Figure 5 shows the positioning of a blade server in the chassis. Blade servers reside within the eight
upper slots of the chassis.
Removing a Blade Server Cover
Replacing the cover is the reverse of removing the cover. To open a blade server:
Step 1 Press and hold the button down as shown in Figure 6
Step 2 While holding the back end of the cover, pull the cover up and back.

Internal Components
Figure 8 calls out the various components within the blade server.
Figure 8 Inside View of a Blade Server
Diagnostics Button and LEDs
At blade start-up, POST diagnostics test the CPUs, DIMMs, HDDs and adapter cards, and any failure
notifications are sent to UCS Manager. You can view these notifications in the System Error Log or in
the output of the show tech-support command. If errors are found, an amber diagnostic LED will also
light up next to the failed component. During run time, the blade BIOS, component drivers, and OS all
monitor for hardware faults and will light up the amber diagnostic LED for a component if an
uncorrectable error or correctable errors (such as a host ECC error) over the allowed threshold occur.
LED states are saved, and if you remove the blade from the chassis the LED values will persist for up to
10 minutes. Pressing the LED diagnostics button on the motherboard will cause the LEDs that currently
show a component fault to light for up to 30 seconds for easier component identification. LED fault
values are reset when the blade is reinserted into the chassis and booted, and the process begins from its
start.
If DIMM insertion errors are detected, they may cause the blade discovery to fail and errors will be
reported in the server POST information, viewable using the UCS Manager GUI or CLI. UCS blade
servers require specific rules to be followed when populating DIMMs in a blade server, and the rules
depend on the blade server model. Refer to the documentation for a specific blade server for those rules.
HDD status LEDs are on the front face of the HDD. Faults on the CPU, DIMMs, or adapter cards will
also cause the server health LED to light solid Amber for minor error conditions or blinking Amber for
critical error conditions.
