Statement 1074
Caution
All Cisco UCS Invicta Scaling Systems are shipped with rail kits and are expected to be rack-mounted.
To ensure proper air flow it is necessary to rack the Cisco UCS Invicta Scaling Systems using the
provided rail kits. Physically placing the units on top of one another or “stacking” without the use of the
rail kits blocks the air vents on top of the Cisco UCS Invicta Scaling Systems, which could result in
overheating, higher fan speeds, and higher power consumption. It is recommended that you mount your
Cisco UCS Invicta Scaling Systems on the rail kits when installing them into the rack because these rails
provide the minimal spacing required between the Cisco UCS Invicta Scaling Systems. No additional
spacing between the Cisco UCS Invicta Scaling Systems is required when you mount the units using the
provided rail kits.
Caution
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.

Step 1
Connect power cables from the SSRs and SSNs to the power source.
Step 2
Connect Ethernet cables (Cat 5 or 6) to the SSRs.
Step 3
Follow this power on sequence:
Note
•
Power on all SSNs
•
Wait 20 minutes
•
Power on all SSR.
The power LED on the back of an SSR glows amber when it is plugged in and glows green when powered
on. The LED in the front of the device glows green when powered on and is otherwise not lit.
You can verify power status by looking at the Power Status LED (see Figure 1-3 on page 1-5):
•
Off—There is no AC power present in the Cisco UCS Invicta Scaling System.
•
Amber—The Cisco UCS Invicta Scaling System is in standby power mode. Power is supplied only
to the CIMC and some motherboard functions.
•
Green—The Cisco UCS Invicta Scaling System is in main power mode. Power is supplied to all
Cisco UCS Invicta Scaling System components.
Note
During bootup, the Cisco UCS Invicta Scaling System beeps once for each USB device that is
attached to the Cisco UCS Invicta Scaling System. Even if there are no external USB devices
attached, there is a short beep for each virtual USB device such as a virtual floppy drive,
CD/DVD drive, keyboard, or mouse. Connect a USB keyboard and VGA monitor by using the
supplied KVM cable connected to the KVM connector on the front panel (see Figure 1-1 on
page 1-2).
Note
Alternatively, you can use the VGA and USB ports on the rear panel. However, you cannot use
the front panel VGA and the rear panel VGA at the same time. If you are connected to one VGA
connector and you then connect a video device to the other connector, the first VGA connector
is disabled.
