Management Extensions enable you to add support for previously unsupported servers and other hardware to
Cisco UCS Manager. For example, you may need to activate a Management Extension if you want to add a
new, previously unsupported server to an existing Cisco UCS domain.
The Management Extension image contains the images, information, and firmware required by Cisco UCS
Manager to be able to manage the new hardware.
Cisco UCS Manager may need to access a Management Extension when you activate. Therefore, the
Management Extension is locked during the activation and update process.
Activating a Management Extension
The Management Extension is included in the server bundle that you have already downloaded. You do not
need to download the Management Extension separately.
