Cisco SNS 3400 Series Appliance Overview

Cisco SNS 3415 and Cisco SNS-3495 Appliances

The Cisco SNS 3415 or Cisco SNS 3495 server is designed for performance and density over a wide range of business workloads, from web serving to distributed databases.

Building on the success of the Cisco SNS 3415 or Cisco SNS 3495 server, the enterprise-class Cisco SNS 3415 or Cisco SNS 3495 server further extends the capabilities of the Cisco Unified Computing System portfolio in a 1U form factor. The Cisco SNS 3415 or Cisco SNS 3495 server does this with the addition of the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family, which delivers significant performance and efficiency gains. In addition, the Cisco SNS 3415 Cisco SNS 3495 server offers up to 256 GB of RAM, 8 drives, and 2 x 1 GbE lights-out management (LOM) ports that deliver outstanding levels of density and performance in a compact package.

    • At least one drive in a RAID configuration failed.

  • Amber, blinking—The server is in a critical fault state. For example:

    • Boot failed.

    • Fatal CPU and/or bus error is detected.

    • Server is in an over-temperature condition.

Fan status

  • Green—All fan modules are operating properly.

  • Amber, steady—One or more fan modules breached the critical threshold.

  • Amber, blinking—One or more fan modules breached the non-recoverable threshold.

Temperature status

  • Green—The server is operating at normal temperature.

  • Amber, steady—One or more temperature sensors breached the critical threshold.

  • Amber, blinking—One or more temperature sensors breached the non-recoverable threshold.

Power supply status

  • Green—All power supplies are operating normally.

  • Amber, steady—One or more power supplies are in a degraded operational state.

  • Amber, blinking—One or more power supplies are in a critical fault state.

Network link activity

  • Off—The Ethernet link is idle.

  • Green—One or more Ethernet LOM ports are link-active, but there is no activity.

  • Green, blinking—One or more Ethernet LOM ports are link-active, with activity.

Hard drive fault

  • Off—The hard drive is operating properly.

  • Amber—Drive fault detected.

  • Amber, blinking—The device is rebuilding.

Hard drive activity

  • Off—There is no hard drive in the hard drive tray (no access, no fault).

  • Green—The hard drive is ready.

  • Green, blinking—The hard drive is reading or writing data.
