Cisco UCS S3260 Storage Server Chassis Installation and Service Guide
Appendix E Upgrading to Cisco UCS S3260 System With S3260 M5 Server Nodes
Installing a Second Server Node or SIOC to the S3260 System With M5 Server Node
Installing a Second M4 Server Node
Items Required For This Procedure
• An M5 server node running Cisco IMC 3.1(3x) or later firmware.
Procedure
Step 1 Verify that the target S3260 system is running Cisco IMC 3.1(3x) or later firmware.
Step 2 A second server node can be installed without removing system power:
a. If you have a drive expander module or I/O expander in the system, remove it from the system.
• To remove a drive expander module, see Replacing a Disk Expansion Tray, page 3-27.
• To remove an I/O expander, you must remove the server node and then detach the I/O expander from
it. See Replacing an I/O Expander (C3X60 M4 or S3260 M5 Server Nodes Only), page 3-37.
b. With the two ejector levers open, align the new server node with the empty bay.
c. Push the server node into the bay until it engages with the midplane connectors and is flush with the
chassis surface.
d. Rotate both ejector levers toward the center until they lay flat and their latches lock into the rear of
the server node.
Step 3 Verify that the server node is manageable from the S3260 Cisco IMC CLI or GUI. If the new server is
not displayed in the CLI or GUI, then you must reset the server to factory defaults.
For example using the CLI:
S3260-Server# scope chassis
S3260-Server /chassis# show server
<Server ID> <Power state> <Serial number> <Product name> <PID> <UUID>

2 on FCH18407MY2 UCS S3260 UCSC-C3K-M4SRB C00E5CEO-A596-45E0-82CD-0B2F0A395FAC
• If the server is displayed in the CLI or GUI, go to the next step.
• If the server is not displayed, set it to factory defaults as descried in the following steps:
a. Use a KVM cable to attach a monitor and keyboard to the KVM connector on the rear of the server
that you just inserted.
b. Boot the server node and when prompted, press F8 to enter the Cisco IMC Configuration Utility.
c. Press F1 to go to the second screen of the utility.
d. Select the Factory Default option for Server Controller Configuration. The selected server node
is set back to its factory default state and the selected server/host reboots.
e. Press F10 to save changes to reboot the server’s BMC.
f. Wait for the reboot to complete (approximately five minutes).
Step 4 Assign a BMC IP address to the new server node:
• If the S3260 system has been configured to use your DHCP server, allow it to assign the BMC IP
address to the new server node then go to the next step.
