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
