OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW

The Cisco® UCS C220 M3 rack server is designed for performance and density over a wide range of business workloads from web serving to distributed database.

Building on the success of the Cisco UCS C200 M2 rack server, the enterprise-class UCS C220 M3 server further extends the capabilities of Cisco’s Unified Computing System portfolio in a 1U form factor with the addition of the Intel® E5-2600 series product family CPUs that deliver significant performance and efficiency gains. In addition, the UCS C220 M3 server provides 16 DIMM slots, up to 8 drives and 2 x 1 GbE LAN-on-motheroard (LOM) ports delivering outstanding levels of density and performance in a compact package.

Notes . . .

1.If higher or lower speed DIMMs are selected than what is shown in the table for a given CPU, the DIMMs will be clocked at the lowest common denominator of CPU clock and DIMM clock.

CONFIGURING the SERVER

Approved Configurations

(1)1-CPU configurations:

Select any one CPU listed in Table 3.

(2)2-CPU Configurations:

Select two identical CPUs from any one of the rows of Table 3 on page 11.

Caveats

You can select either one processor or two identical processors.

For optimal performance, select DIMMs with the highest clock speed for a given processor (see Table 3 on page 11). If you select DIMMs whose speeds are lower or higher than that shown in the tables, suboptimal performance will result.

STEP 3 SELECT MEMORY

The standard memory features are:

DIMMs

Clock speed: 1333 or 1600 MHz

Ranks per DIMM: 1, 2, or 4

Operational voltage: dual voltage capable (1.5 V or 1.35 V)

Registered ECC DDR3 DIMMS (RDIMMS) or load-reduced DIMMS (LRDIMMs)

Memory is organized with four memory channels per CPU, with up to two DIMMs per channel, as shown in Figure 4.

CONFIGURING the SERVER

Select DIMMs and Memory Mirroring

Select the memory configuration and whether or not you want the memory mirroring option. The available memory DIMMs and mirroring option are listed in Table 4.

NOTE: When memory mirroring is enabled, the memory subsystem simultaneously writes identical data to two channels. If a memory read from one of the channels returns incorrect data due to an uncorrectable memory error, the system automatically retrieves the data from the other channel. A transient or soft error in one channel does not affect the mirrored data, and operation continues unless there is a simultaneous error in exactly the same location on a DIMM and its mirrored DIMM. Memory mirroring reduces the amount of memory available to the operating system by 50% because only one of the two populated channels provides data.

Caveats

The server supports registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) or load-reduced DIMMS (LRDIMMs), however, do not mix RDIMMs and LRDIMMs in a server.

When using mirroring, DIMMs must be installed in identical pairs across paired DDR3 buses. That is, mirrored pairs in channels A and B must be identical and pairs in channels C and D must be identical. However, the DIMMs used in channels A and B and in C and D can be different.

UDIMMs and non-ECC DIMMs are not supported.

Memory mirroring reduces the amount of available memory by 50% (quantity of DIMMs must be even for mirroring).

When singleand dual-rank DIMMs are populated for 2DPC, always populate the dual rank DIMM in the blue DIMM slot, and the single-rank DIMM in the black DIMM slot (only the 4GB DIMMs are single-rank).

By default, all DIMMs run at 1.35 V, which yields 1333-MHz memory speeds. To run the memory DIMMS at 1600 MHz, you need to go into the BIOS or set the policy with UCSM (service profile) to run in Performance Mode. This forces the DIMMs to operate at 1.5 V and yields 1600-MHz speeds, provided:

The DIMMs are 1600-MHz devices

The CPUs chosen support 1600-MHz operation.

For more information regarding memory, see CPUs and DIMMs, page 48.

STEP 4 SELECT RAID CONFIGURATION

The RAID controller choices are:

Embedded RAID (on motherboard)

NOTE: If you do not select a mezzanine card, a plug-in PCIe RAID card, or one of the embedded RAID upgrade options, you will have an embedded SATA-only RAID controller that supports up to four SATA-only drives (RAID 0, 1, 10)

Mezzanine RAID controller cards

Plug-in PCIe RAID controller cards

Cisco can provide factory-configured RAID systems depending on the RAID controller chosen and the number of drives ordered. Factory-configured RAID options are listed with each RAID card description.

NOTE: The number of RAID groups (logical drives/ virtual drives) supported per controller is as follows:

Embedded RAID = 8 drives

Cisco UCSC RAID SAS 2008M-8i Mezzanine Card = 16 drives

LSI MegaRAID SAS 9266-8i RAID controller card = 64 drives

Select RAID Options

Select as follows:

One embedded RAID upgrade option (see Table 5), or

One mezzanine RAID controller (see Table 6), or

One PCIe RAID controller card (see Table 7 on page 19)
