Cisco SNS 3400 Series Appliance Overview

Cisco SNS-3400 series appliance hardware consists of Cisco SNS 3415 and Cisco SNS 3495 appliances.

• For the Cisco SNS 3400 series hardware specifications, see the Cisco Secure Network Server Data Sheet.

• For the LED indicators on the Cisco SNS 3400 series appliances, see the Cisco Identity Services Engine

Hardware Installation Guide, Release 2.0.

Cisco SNS 3500 Series Appliance Overview

Cisco SNS 3500 Series Appliances

The Cisco SNS 3515 or Cisco SNS 3595 appliance is designed for performance and density over a wide range

of business workloads, from web serving to distributed databases.

Cisco ISE, Release 2.0.1 is available on SNS 3515 and SNS 3595 platforms.

The SNS 3515 and SNS 3595 appliances support only Cisco ISE 2.0.1 or later releases. You cannot install a

release earlier than 2.0.1 on the SNS 3515 or SNS 3595 appliance.

Note

Support for UEFI Secure Boot

The SNS 3515 and SNS 3595 appliances support the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) secure

boot feature. This feature ensures that only a Cisco-signed ISE image can be installed on the SNS 3515 and

SNS 3595 appliances, and prevents installation of any unsigned operating system even with physical access

to the device. For example, generic operating systems, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Microsoft Windows

cannot boot on this appliance.

Internal Diagnostic LEDs

The server has internal fault LEDs for CPUs, DIMMs, fan modules, SD cards, the RTC battery, and the mLOM

card. These LEDs are available only when the server is in standby power mode. An LED lights amber to

indicate a faulty component.

Power must be connected to the server for these LEDs to be operate.

Note

Regulatory Compliance

Before You Begin

This section provides information on how you can prepare your site for safely installing the Cisco SNS-3515

or Cisco SNS-3595 appliance.

Safety Guidelines

Before you install, operate, or service a Cisco SNS-3515 or Cisco SNS-3595 appliance, review the Regulatory

Compliance and Safety Information for Cisco SNS-3415, Cisco SNS-3495, Cisco SNS-3515, and Cisco

SNS-3595 Appliances for important safety information.

Note

Warning: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work

on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard

practices for preventing accidents. Use the statement number provided at the end of each warning to locate

its translation in the translated safety warnings that accompanied this device.

Statement 1071

Warning

Warning: To prevent the system from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum

recommended ambient temperature of: 40° C (104° F).

Statement 1047

Warning

Warning: The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times, because it serves as the main

disconnecting device.

Statement 1019

Warning

This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that the

protective device is rated not greater than: 250 V, 15 A.

Statement 1005

Warning

Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.

Statement 1074

Warning

Install Cisco ISE Software on Cisco SNS Appliances

Before You Begin

When you are installing a server, use the following guidelines:

• Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the server. See the Cisco UCS Site

Preparation Guide for the recommended site planning tasks.

• Ensure that there is adequate space around the server to allow for servicing the server and for adequate

airflow. The airflow in this server is from front to back.

• Ensure that the air-conditioning meets the thermal requirements listed in the Server Specifications, on

page 12.

• Ensure that the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in the Rack Requirements, on page 12.

• Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in the Power Specifications, on page 13.

If available, you can use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power failures.

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.

Caution

Unpack and Inspect the Server

When handling internal server components, wear an ESD strap and handle modules by the carrier edges only.

Caution

Keep the shipping container in case the server requires shipping in the future.

Note

The chassis is thoroughly inspected before shipment. If any damage occurred during transportation or any

items are missing, contact your customer service representative immediately.

Note

To inspect the shipment:

Step 1 Remove the server from its cardboard container and save all packaging material.

Step 2 Compare the shipment to the equipment list provided by your customer service representative and the list given below.

Verify that you have all items.

Step 3 Check for damage and report any discrepancies or damage to your customer service representative. Have the following

information ready:

• Invoice number of shipper (see the packing slip)

• Model and serial number of the damaged unit

• Description of damage

• Effect of damage on the installation
