Cisco UCS B22 M3 Blade Server
The UCS B22 M3 blade server is a half-width blade with 12 DIMM slots; it supports one dedicated slot for Cisco's Virtual Interface
Card (VIC) 1240, and one open adapter slot. You may install up to eight UCS B22 Blade Servers to a UCS chassis, or mix with other
UCS blade servers. The Cisco UCS B22 M3 harnesses the power of the latest Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 product family with
expandability to 192 GB of RAM (using 12 x 16 GB DIMMs), 2 hot-plug drives, and 2 PCIe adapter slots for up to 80 Gigabit
Ethernet throughput.

LEDs
Server LEDs indicate whether the blade server is in active or standby mode, the status of the network link, the overall health of the
blade server, and whether the server is set to give a blinking blue locator light from the locator button.

DescriptionColorLED
Power off.OffPower
Main power state. Power is supplied to all server components in
normal operation.
Green
Standby power state. Power is supplied only to the service processor
of the server so that the server can still be managed.
If you press and release the front-panel power button, the
server performs an orderly shutdown of the 12 V main
power and goes to standby power state. You cannot shut
down standby power from the front-panel power button.
See the Cisco UCS Manager Configuration Guide for
information about completely powering off the server from
the software interface.

Buttons
The Reset button is recessed in the front panel of the server. You can press the button with 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 do not work.
The locator function for an individual server may get turned on or off by pressing the locator button/LED.
The power button 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 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 unexpectedly shut down at a later time. To safely reboot a server from a power-down state, use the Boot Server
action in Cisco UCS Manager.
Local Console Connector
The local console connector allows 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 cable that provides a connection into a Cisco UCS
blade server; it has 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. A KVM cable ships standard
with each blade chassis accessory kit.

Drive Replacement
Each blade has up to two front-accessible, hot-swappable, 2.5-inch drives. Unused hard drive bays should always be covered with
cover plates to ensure proper cooling and ventilation.
You can remove and install hard drives without removing the blade server from the chassis.
The drives supported in this blade server come with the drive sled attached. Spare drive sleds are not available. A list of currently
supported drives is in the specification sheets at this URL:http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/servers-unified-computing/
ucs-b-series-blade-servers/datasheet-listing.html
Before upgrading or adding a drive to a running system, check the service profile in Cisco UCS Manager and make sure the new
hardware configuration will be within the parameters allowed by the service profile.
To prevent ESD damage, wear grounding wrist straps during these procedures.Caution
Removing a Blade Server Hard Drive
To remove a hard drive from a blade server, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 Push the button to release the ejector, and then pull the hard drive from its slot.
Figure 3: Removing the Hard Drive

Step 2 Place the hard drive on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam if you are not immediately reinstalling it in another server.
Step 3 Install a hard disk drive blank faceplate to keep dust out of the blade server if the slot will remain empty.
Installing a Blade Server Hard Drive
To install a hard drive in a blade server, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 Place the hard drive lever into the open position by pushing the release button.
Figure 4: Installing a Hard Drive in a Blade Server
Step 2 Gently slide the hard drive into the opening in the blade server until it seats into place.
Step 3 Push the hard drive lever into the closed position.
You can use Cisco UCS Manager to format and configure RAID services. For details, see the Configuration Guide for the
version of Cisco UCS Manager that you are using. The configuration guides are available at the following URL: http://
www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10281/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html
If you need to move a RAID cluster, see the Cisco UCS Manager B-Series Troubleshooting Guide.
Blade Server Removal and Installation
Before performing any internal operations on this blade server, you must remove it from the chassis.
6
To prevent ESD damage, wear grounding wrist straps during these procedures and handle modules by the
carrier edges only.
Caution
Powering Off a Blade Server Using the Power Button
You can also shut down servers remotely using Cisco UCS Manager or CIMC. For details, see the
Configuration Guide for the version of Cisco UCS Manager that you are using. The configuration guides
are available at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10281/products_installation_
and_configuration_guides_list.html
Tip
Procedure
Step 1 If you are local to the server, check the color of the Power Status LED for each server in the chassis that you want to
power off.
•Green indicates that the server is running 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 Press and release the Power button, then wait until the Power Status LED changes to amber.
The operating system performs a graceful shutdown and the server goes to standby mode.
To avoid data loss or damage to your operating system, you should always invoke a graceful shutdown of the
operating system.
Caution
Step 3 (Optional) If you are shutting down all blade servers in a chassis, disconnect the power cords from the chassis to completely
power off the servers.
Step 4 Remove the appropriate servers from the chassis.
Removing a Blade Server
Using UCS Manager, decommission the server before physically removing the server. To remove a blade server from the chassis,
follow these steps:
7
Procedure
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 Half-width Blade Server
UCS B200 M4, UCS B200 M3, and UCS B22 M3 half-width blade servers are interoperable in a UCS chassis with any other UCS
blade servers, including prior generation B200 M2 and B200 M1 servers, or other UCS B-Series blade servers. To install a half-width
blade server, follow these steps:
8
Procedure
Step 1 Grasp the front of the blade server and place your other hand under the blade to support it.
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 automatically reacknowledges, reassociates, and recommissions the server, provided
any hardware changes are allowed by the service profile.
9
Secure Digital Cards
Secure Digital (SD) card slots are provided and one or two SD cards can be populated. If two SD cards are populated, they can be
used in a mirrored mode.
Do not mix different capacity cards in the same server.Note
Due to technical limitations, if the server is running a Cisco UCS Manager version earlier than release
2.2(3a) with the 32-GB SD card, only 16-GB usable capacity is available (regardless of mirroring) in the
server.
