Cisco UCS 6120 Startup Times

So I like to time almost everything. So naturally during my last maintenenace in our UCS environment I wanted to determing the amount of time it took for the 6120 to reboot. I wound up having to restart the 6120 multiple times and found the following times to be pretty consistent:

Time to shutdown: ~30 seconds

From boot:

Loading firmware: ~2.18 minutes
Time to network ping: ~3.23 minutes(no ssh access yet)
Time to CLI serial console: ~5.20 minutes
Remote access via SSH: ~5.20 minutes

It seems that SSH access came in at almost exactly the same time as the CLI console.  Some of you might find this useful, some not. Just figured I would post it either way.
