Cisco UCS C420 M3 Server Specification
Chassis:
Two rack unit (2RU) chassis
Processor:
Either two or four Intel® Xeon® E5-4600 series processors
Chipset:
Intel® Patsburg-J platform controller hub (PCH) chipset
Memory:
48 slots for registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) and load-reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs)
Expansion slots:
There are seven PCIe expansion slots:
Four slots for PCIe x 8 vertically-mounted cards (slots 2, 3, 5, and 6)
- PCIe x8, 1/2 height, 1/2 length, 16x connectors
One slot for an NCSI PCIe x 8 vertically mounted card (slot 4)
- PCIe x 16, 1/2 height, 1/2 length
Two NCSI slots on separate riser cards for horizontally-mounted cards (slot 1 at left when viewed from rear and slot 7 at right when viewed from rear)
- PCIe x 16, full-height, 1/2 length
All cards are half-length due to internal clearance. CPU 1 controls slots 1, 2, and 3 and CPU 2 controls slots 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Storage controller:
Plug-in PCIe cards:
- LSI MegaRAID 9271CV-8i with external mount supercap and on-board 1 GB flash-backed write cache backup, supporting up to 16 internal drives and RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, or 60.
- LSI MegaRAID 9286CV-8e with external mount supercap and on-board 1 GB flash-backed write cache backup, supporting up to 8 external drives and RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, or 60.
Power subsystem:
Two 1200 W power supplies (1:1 redundant)
Fans:
Chassis:
- Six fan modules, hot-swappable, redundant
Power supply:
- Each power supply is equipped with a fan.
Internal storage devices:
Disk Drives
- Drives are installed into configurable (one or two) drive bay modules that provide hot-pluggable front-panel access.
- Each drive bay module can hold up to eight 2.5in x 0.55 in (63.5 mm x 14mm) SAS3 or SATA4 hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid state drives (SSDs), for a total of 16 drives.
USB Flash drive
- An optional 4 GB or 8 GB USB drive can be used as a bootable drive
Cisco Flexible Flash internal Secure Digital (SD) cards
- Up to two optional Flexible Flash SD cards can be installed
UCS Storage Accelerator are also available. These PCIe flash storage devices provide independent high-speed storage.
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 10/100/1000 dedicated management Ethernet port
- Four 1-Gigabit Base-T Ethernet LOM ports (10/100/1000 Mbps capable)
- One RS232 serial connector (on I/O riser card)
- One 15-pin VGA connector (on I/O riser card)
- Three USB 2.0 connectors
Front panel
- One KVM console connector. When used with the provided KVM cable, provides two USB, one VGA, and one serial connector.
Baseboard management:
Pilot-3 BMC, running Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) firmware.
Depending on your CIMC settings, the CIMC can be accessed through the 10/100 dedicated management ports, the 1-Gigabit LOM ports, the optional 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports, or a Cisco P81E virtual interface card.
