NOTE: For C-Series sever deployment, network and BIOS configuration can not be done using

appliance. You need to do it manually. You need to make sure that hard disk is available for server to

install OS. You need to set single NIC to PXE boot. This should be set as first boot device and hard

disk should be set as second boot device.

You need to configure network on top of rack switch which are connected to C-Series server. You

need to configure necessary VLAN on the service facing port of that top of rack switch. For that you

need to place PXE VLAN-untagged for any kind of OS deployment. If it’s Windows and Linux bare

metal OS installation, you need to set worklaod network and you need to set Hypervisor

management network for ESXi deployment.

NOTE: Prior to deployment of FX2 server, you need to disable Flexadress every server in chassis. To

disable Flexadress, follow the path:

CMC > Server Overview > Setup > FlexAddress.

You need to make sure that server is powered down to disable FlexAddress. Ideally these should be

done prior discovering the server.
