Replacing a Cisco USB Flash Drive
The server has two options for USB flash drives:
• The server can be ordered with one blank 8-GB flash drive pre-installed in the internal USB slot.
• This server can be ordered with one pre-loaded 16-GB Cisco USB flash drive that ships in the box.
This flash drive is pre-loaded with Cisco UCS C-Series Utilities.

Overview of the Pre-Loaded 16-GB Cisco USB Flash Drive
This Cisco USB flash drive is pre-loaded with three software bundles, each on one of four preconfigured
virtual drives (VDs). The fourth VD allows you to install an OS or embedded hypervisor.
The VDs are configured as follows:
1. Cisco UCS Server Configuration Utility (SCU).
2. Hypervisor (HV). This is a VD that you can use for your own purposes.
3. Cisco Drivers (Drivers).
4. Cisco Host Upgrade Utility (HUU).
Enabling a Pre-Loaded Cisco USB Flash Drive Virtual Drive
Each of the VDs on the pre-loaded Cisco USB flash drive can be separately enabled or hidden from the
host. The default as shipped from the factory is for all VDs to be hidden.
To enable VDs and expose them to the host, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log in to CIMC interface for the server, using the IP address of the server.
Step 2 Navigate through GUI tabs to Server > Inventory > Storage.
Step 3 Click FlexFlash-0 in the Storage Adapters list.
Step 4 Click on Configure Operational Profile in the Actions area.
The Operational Profile dialog opens.
Step 5 Check the box for each VD that you want to enable and expose to the host, then click Save Changes.
