6.1
Maintenance
The Cisco C880 server supports hot maintenance of PSUs, fans and HDD/SSDs. This enables maintenance
of the system as it continues operating.

6.1.1 Maintenance using the MMB
The MMB provides system maintenance functions through the [Maintenance] menu of the Web-UI.
You can use the [Maintenance] menu to back up and restore system configuration information.

6.1.2 Maintenance method
Maintenance is performed with the Maintenance Wizard on the MMB Web-UI from a terminal such as a PC
connected to the MMB in the Cisco C880 server.
The MMB provides a dedicated Maintenance LAN port for field engineers. To perform maintenance using the
Maintenance Wizard, a field engineer connects an FST (PC used by the field engineer) to the Maintenance
LAN port of the MMB of the maintenance target system.

6.1.3 Maintenance modes
The Cisco C880 server has several maintenance modes.
Only field engineers are allowed to execute operations related to power control such as power off and power
on in maintenance mode which can prevent error during this operations. The maintenance modes provide the
following advantages:
Only field engineers are allowed to execute operations related to power control such as power off and power
on in maintenance mode which can prevent error during this operations. The maintenance modes provide the
following advantages:
-
They prevent someone other than the field engineer from executing operations related to power control
so that the system does not change to unexpected status.
