Appendix
Integration With Cisco UCS Manager Earlier Than 2.0(2xx)
This section contains two procedures:
• Installing a Release 1.2(2xx) Server With Cisco UCS Manager 1.4 or 2.0(1), page D-11
• Upgrading a Server Earlier Than Release 1.2(2) For Cisco UCS Manager 1.4 or 2.0(1) Integration,
page D-14
Installing a Release 1.2(2xx) Server With Cisco UCS Manager 1.4 or 2.0(1)
Servers that are Release 1.2(2xx) already have the prerequisite firmware and settings so that they are
ready to be connected to the Cisco UCS Manager 1.4 or 2.0(1) environment immediately.
Note Release 1.3(x) does not support UCS integration. Do not upgrade your server later than 1.2(2xx) if you
want to use the server in UCSM mode with UCS Manager 1.4 or 2.0(1).
See the following URLs for additional information about the equipment in this configuration.
• For information about the Cisco UCS 6100 Series or 6200 Series fabric interconnects (FIs) in the
configuration, see the documentation at the following links:
– Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect documentation
– Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnect documentation
• For information about the Cisco Nexus 2248 fabric extenders (FEXes) in the configuration, see the
documentation at the following link: 

Required Items
The hardware configuration described in this procedure provides redundant network fabrics and paths
for both management traffic and data traffic. The following items are required to create this
configuration.
• A Cisco UCS system running Cisco UCS Manager software release 1.4(1x) or 2.0(1x).
• A Cisco UCS C-Series server with a 10-Gb adapter card installed.
Note If you install a Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card (N2XX-ACPCI01), see Special
Considerations for the Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card (N2XX-ACPCI01), page 3-35.
To use this card for UCS integration, the minimum card-firmware level is 1.4(1i).
• Two Cisco UCS 6100 Series or 6200 Series FIs. The switch ports that carry server traffic must be
enabled as server ports.
• Two Cisco Nexus 2248 FEXes.
Note You must plug a power cord into each of the two power supplies in the FEX. If a power supply
is not connected to power, you might see “Major” faults reported during power-on self test
(POST). For example,
Power supply 1 in fex 6 power: error. You can clear these errors by
connecting the missing power cord to the FEX power supply.
