Chipset:
Intel® C600 series chipset
Memory:
24 slots for registered or unbuffered ECC DIMMs (RDIMMs or UDIMMs) or load-reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs)
Multi-bit Error Protection:
This server supports multi-bit error protection.
NIC:
Embedded quad-port Intel i350 PCIe-based Gigabit Ethernet controller, supporting the following:
- Pre-Execution Boot (PXE boot)
- iSCSI boot
- Checksum and segmentation offload
- NIC teaming
Expansion slots:
Five PCIe slots (on two riser cards)
- Riser 1 (PCIe slots 1, 2, and 3)
- Riser 2 (PCIe slots 4 and 5)
Internal storage devices:
Drives are installed into front-panel drive bays that provide hot-pluggable access.
- Large Form Factor (LFF) drives. The server can hold up to twelve 3.5-inch SAS or SATA hard disk drives (HDDs). The server uses a 12-drive backplane with a SAS expander.
- The server also contains one internal USB 2.0 port on the motherboard that you can use with a USB thumb drive for additional storage.
- UCS Storage Accelerator are also available. These PCIe flash storage devices provide independent high-speed storage.
Cisco Flexible Flash drives:
The server supports up to two internal 32 GB Cisco Flexible Flash drives (SD cards).
The second SD card is blank and can be used to mirror the first SD card. It can be used to protect the Hypervisor Partition with RAID1.
Storage controller:
2008M-8i Mezzanine Cards - two versions
- Cisco UCSC RAID SAS 2008M-8i Mezzanine Card supports up to 16 SAS+SATA drives (limited to 12 drives in the C240 M3 LFF chassis) supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and 50 plus JBOD. This card has a product ID (PID) of UCSC-RAID-11-C240.
- Cisco UCSC RAID SAS 2008M-8i Mezzanine Card supports up to 16 SAS+SATA drives (limited to 12 drives in the C240 M3 LFF chassis) supporting RAID 0, 1, and 10 plus JBOD. This card has a product ID (PID) of UCSC-RAID-MZ-240.
PCIe RAID Controllers
- LSI MegaRAID SAS 9271-8i or 9271CV-8i 8-port PCIe RAID controllers with on-board 1 GB data cache and chassis-mounted (remote) supercap for data cache power backup (supercap not present on 9271-8i), supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and up to 16 internal SAS or SATA drives (limited to 12 drives in the C240 M3 LFF chassis).
- LSI MegaRAID 9285CV-8e, or 9286CV-8e 8-port PCIe RAID controllers with on-board 1 GB cache and chassis-mounted (remote) supercap for data cache power backup, supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60. Supports 8 external SAS ports (up to 240 external drives).
- Cisco Nytro MegaRAID 200 GB PCIe RAID controller with on-board 1 GB data cache and 200 GB flash memory. Supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. Up to 12 SAS + SATA drives are supported.
Video:
The Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) provides video using the Matrox G200e video/graphics controller:
- Integrated 2D graphics core with hardware acceleration
- DDR2/3 memory interface supports up to 512 MB of addressable memory (8 MB is allocated by default to video memory)
- Supports display resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 16bpp @ 60Hz
- High-speed integrated 24-bit RAMDAC
- Single lane PCI-Express host interface running at Gen 1 speed
Interfaces:
Rear panel
- One RJ-45 10/100/1000 Ethernet management port, using Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) firmware
- Four 1-GbE (10/100/1000 Mbps capable) LOM ports
- One RJ45 serial port connector
- Two USB 2.0 port connectors
- One DB15 VGA connector
- Various PCIe card ports (dependent on which cards are installed)
Front panel
- One KVM console connector (supplies two USB 2.0, one VGA, and one serial connector)
WoL:
The 1-Gb Base-T Ethernet LAN ports support the wake-on-LAN (WoL) standard.
InfiniBand:
The bus slots in this server support the InfiniBand architecture.
Front Panel:
A front panel controller provides status indications and control buttons
Power subsystem:
Two power supplies are required (either 650 W AC or 1200 W AC or 930 W DC).
Redundant as 1 + 1.
ACPI
This server supports the advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) 4.0 standard.
Fans:
Chassis:
- Six hot-swappable fans for front-to-rear cooling.
Power supply:
- Each power supply is equipped with a fan.
Integrated management processor:
BMC running Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) firmware.
Depending on your CIMC settings, the CIMC can be accessed through the 1-GbE dedicated management port, the 1-GbE LOM ports, or a Cisco virtual interface card (VIC).
