Overview of the Pre-Installed Cisco Flexible Flash Card

The internal slots for these cards are on the circuit board of PCIe riser 2 (see Figure 3-23).

Note Dual cards are supported only with CIMC 1.5(1) or later. With releases earlier than CIMC 1.5(1), only a single card is supported and it must be in slot SD1.

The Cisco Flexible Flash card is pre-installed with three software bundles, each on one of four preconfigured virtual drives (VDs). The fourth VD allows you to install an OS or embedded hypervisor.

The VDs are configured as follows:

1.Cisco UCS Server Configuration Utility (SCU).

2.Hypervisor (HV). This is a VD that you can use for your own purposes.

3.Cisco Drivers (Drivers).

4.Cisco Host Upgrade Utility (HUU).
