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 13.
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 13). If you select DIMMs whose speeds are lower or higher than that
shown in the tables, suboptimal performance will result.
■For configurations that use 130 W or 135 W CPUs, the minimum power supply required is
650 W (UCSC-PSU-650W). See STEP 8 ORDER POWER SUPPLY, page 38.

The standard memory features are:
■DIMMs
—Clock speed: 1866, 1600, or 1333 MHz
—Ranks per DIMM: 1, 2, or 4
—Operational voltage: 1.5 V or 1.35 V
—Registered or unbuffered ECC DDR3 DIMMs (RDIMMs or UDIMMs) or load-reduced
DIMMs (LRDIMMs)
■Memory is organized with four memory channels per CPU, with up to two DIMMs per channel,

Select DIMMs and Memory Mirroring
Notes . . .
Select the memory configuration and whether or not you want the memory mirroring option.
The available memory DIMMs and mirroring option are listed in
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.

1. These DIMMs operate at 1333 MHz instead of 1600 MHz when used with any E5-2600 CPUs. They operate at
1600 MHz when used with E5-2600 v2 CPUs that support 1600- and 1866-MHz speeds.
2. 1866-MHz DIMMs are only offered and supported with E5-2600 v2 CPU-configured servers
■For optimum performance, do not mix DIMMs with different frequencies. If you mix DIMM
frequencies, the system defaults to the lower frequency.
1866
1866
20
■Do not mix RDIMMs, LRDIMMs, or UDIMMs
■DIMMs for CPU 1 and CPU 2 (when populated) must always be configured identically.
■The server supports 1 or 2 DIMMs per channel for single- or dual-rank RDIMMs.
■The server supports 1 or 2 DIMMs per channel for quad-rank LRDIMMs.
■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.
■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 single- and 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).
Cisco UCS Cisco UCS C220 M3 High-Density Rack Server (Small Form Factor Disk Drive Model)
CONFIGURING the SERVER
■By default, starting with UCSM 2.0.4, DIMMs run in memory performance mode (1.5v) by
BIOS default, which yields faster memory speeds than when the BIOS is set for the memory
to run in power-savings mode. Memory speed is dependent on factors such as:
—CPU choice
—DIMM choice
—DIMM population (how many DIMMs per channel are populated)
—BIOS setting.
For the DIMMs to run in power-savings mode (1.35 V, if the DIMM supports this), change
the BIOS setting to power-savings mode.

1. Never disable OPROM for the mezzanine slot if the mezzanine card is present, or the system will not boot. If
you remove the mezzanine card and disable its OPROM, you can boot from another bootable device (RAID card,
embedded RAID, or from SAN via an HBA or CNA card). When you boot from a device, make sure its OPROM is
enabled, it is in the proper boot sequence, and its BIOS is configured for a bootable device.
2. If you want to boot from a device other than the 9271-8i, or 9271CV-8i MegaRAID PCIe card, you can leave the
card installed. Just disable the OPROM for its slot, and the system will boot even with the card installed.
3. Dual RAID controllers are not supported in this server
4. External RAID card is the 9285CV-8e or 9286CV-8e. Any of these can be installed simultaneously with one
mezzanine RAID controller card. They cannot be used simultaneously with an internal RAID controller card
(9271-8i, or 9271CV-8i) because of mounting space limitations for the supercap (there is space to mount only
one supercap).
5. A = available slot, O = occupied slot, U = unsupported slot (slot 2 is not supported in 1-CPU systems)
6. The mezzanine slot is not supported in 1-CPU systems

CONFIGURING the SERVER
Caveats
■Note that only a single Cisco VIC card (the half-height Cisco VIC 1225 PCIe card) is supported
and it must be installed in the full-height PCIe slot (slot 1) on riser 1. So take this into
account when populating RAID controller cards.
■You can choose an optional RAID configuration (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, or 10), which is
preconfigured at the factory. The RAID level you choose must be an available RAID choice for
the controller selected. RAID levels 50 and 60 are supported, although they are not available
as configuration options.
NOTE: RAID for the external RAID controllers (LSI MegaRAID SAS 9286CV-e and LSI
MegaRAID SAS 9285CV-e) is not factory configured.
NOTE: For more important information regarding RAID combinations and support,

Approved Configurations
(1) No PCIe RAID controller
■If you did not choose a PCIe RAID controller (for example, you are using embedded RAID or a
mezzanine RAID controller), you can select up to one PCie option card (for 1-CPU systems)
or two PCie option cards (for 2-CPU systems) listed in
Table 11 on page 31.
(2) One PCIe RAID controller
■If you selected a PCIe RAID controller, you can select none of the optional PCIe cards (for
1-CPU systems) or one of the optional PCIe cards (for 2-CPU systems) listed in
page 31.
NOTE: If a PCIe RAID controller card is installed, any optional PCIe card you select
will be installed in the full-height slot. RAID controllers are always installed in the
half-height slot.
Caveats
■For 1-CPU systems:
—Only the full-height PCIe slot (slot 1) is supported
—Neither PCIe slot 2 nor the mezzanine card slot are supported
—Only a single VIC card (the Cisco VIC 1225 PCIe card) is supported and must be
installed in slot 1 (the full-height slot).
—If any of the Fusion ioDrive2 cards are installed, they must be plugged into slot 1.
Note that only the Cisco UCS 3.0 TB MLC Fusion ioDrive2 card is full-height; all other
Fusion ioDrive2 cards are half-height and therefore may need an adapter to hold
them securely in the full-height slot.
■For 2-CPU systems:
Table 11 on
32
Cisco UCS Cisco UCS C220 M3 High-Density Rack Server (Small Form Factor Disk Drive Model)
CONFIGURING the SERVER
—Both PCIe slots (slots 1 and 2) and the mezzanine card slot are supported
—Only a single VIC card (the half-height Cisco VIC 1225 PCIe card) is supported and it
must be installed in slot 1 (the full height slot).
—Only a single Cisco UCS 3.0 TB MLC Fusion ioDrive2 card is supported and it must be
installed in slot 1 (the full height slot).
—Up to two of the other Fusion ioDrive2 cards (1205-, 785- and 365-GB versions) are
supported and can be installed in either slot 1 or 2, although an adapter may be
needed when installing one of these half-height cards in slot 1 (the full-height slot).
■Other considerations for the Cisco VIC 1225:
—Supports 10G SFP+ optical and copper twinax connections
—The server supports installation of one Cisco VIC 1225 card and it is supported only
in PCIe slot 1.
—Requires that the server has CIMC firmware version 1.4(6) or later installed. There is
a heartbeat LED on the top of the card that indicates when firmware is active.
—To use this card for UCS integration (Cisco UCS Manager mode) with Cisco UCS
Manager 2.1(0) or later, the minimum card-firmware and uboot image level is
2.1(0.306).

STEP 11 ORDER A TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE (OPTIONAL)
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a computer chip (microcontroller) that can securely store
artifacts used to authenticate the platform (server). These artifacts can include passwords,
certificates, or encryption keys. A TPM can also be used to store platform measurements that
help ensure that the platform remains trustworthy. Authentication (ensuring that the platform
can prove that it is what it claims to be) and attestation (a process helping to prove that a
platform is trustworthy and has not been breached) are necessary steps to ensure safer
computing in all environments.

CPUs and DIMMs
Physical Layout
Each CPU has four DIMM channels:
■CPU1 has channels A, B, C, and D
■CPU2 has channels E, F, G, and H
Each DIMM channel has two banks: bank 1 and bank 2. The blue-colored DIMM slots are for bank 1 and the
black-colored slots are for bank 2.
As an example, DIMM slots A1, B1, C1, and D1 belong to bank 1, while A2, B2, C2, and D2 belong to bank 2.
Figure 7 shows how banks and channels are physically laid out on the motherboard. The DIMM slots on the
right (channels A, B, C, and D) are associated with CPU1, while the DIMM slots on the left (channels E, F, G,
and H) are associated with CPU2. The bank 1 (blue) DIMM slots are always located farther away from a CPU
than the corresponding bank 2 (black) slots. Bank 1 slots (blue) are populated before bank 2 slots (black).

Memory Population Rules
When considering the memory configuration of your server, you should consider the following items:
■Each channel has two DIMM slots (for example, channel A = slots A1 and A2).
—A channel can operate with one or two DIMMs installed.
—If a channel has only one DIMM, populate slot 1 first (the blue slot).
■When both CPUs are installed, populate the DIMM slots of each CPU identically.
—Fill blue slots in the channels first: A1, E1, B1, F1, C1, G1, D1, H1
—Fill black slots in the channels second: A2, E2, B2, F2, C2, G2, D2, H2
■Any DIMM installed in a DIMM socket for which the CPU is absent is not recognized.
■Observe the DIMM mixing rules shown in Table 32
Table 32 DIMM Rules for C220 M3 Servers

Low-Voltage DIMM Considerations
The C220 M3 server can be ordered with dual-voltage (1.5/1.35 V) DIMMs only. Note the following
considerations:
■Low-voltage DIMMs within the server must have the identical manufacturer, type, speed,
and size.
■Low-voltage DIMMs and standard-voltage DIMMs can be mixed in the same server. Note that
this causes the system BIOS to default to standard-voltage operation (Performance Mode).
That is, the server cannot operate in Power Saving Mode unless all DIMMs are low-voltage
DIMMs.
■CPUs that have a maximum memory frequency less than 1333 MHz support low-voltage
DIMMs operating in Power Saving Mode only, and do not support Performance Mode.
64
Cisco UCS Cisco UCS C220 M3 High-Density Rack Server (Small Form Factor Disk Drive Model)
RAID Details
The available RAID configurations are shown in this section.
(1) 1-CPU Configurations
Mezzanine cards are not supported for 1-CPU configurations, Therefore, only the following RAID
controllers are supported for single-CPU configurations. Select one of these:
■An embedded RAID controller (on motherboard) from Table 6 on page 23
■One internal drive RAID controller (slot 1 only) from Table 8 on page 24
■One external drive RAID controller (slot 1 only) from Table 8 on page 24
NOTE: PCIe slot 2 is not supported for 1-CPU configurations
NOTE: In 1-CPU configurations, PCIe slot 1 is the default slot supported for an
internal drive RAID controller. PCIe slots 1 or 2 can be used for one external drive
RAID controller or for PCIe expansion cards. You can change the default card slot for
a RAID controller to a different slot by going into the BIOS and reconfiguring the
option ROM (OPROM) settings.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL
You may also select an appropriate optional RAID configuration listed in Table 8 on page 24

panels are required to maintain system temperatures at safe operating levels, and to keep dust away from
system components.
Upgrading your Server from Intel Xeon E5-2600 to Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 CPUs (or
downgrading from Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 to Intel Xeon E5-2600 CPUs)
All Cisco UCS two CPU socket-capable servers can be upgraded from having one to having two CPUs
configured. You will need to order and install a heat sink when adding any additional CPU to a server.
Instructions for installing the new CPU and heat sink can be found at the following link:
NOTE: When you purchase a spare CPU, the Pick n Place Toolkit is included.
Thermal Grease (with syringe applicator) for CPU to Heatsink Seal
Thermal grease must be applied to the top of the CPU where it comes in contact with the heat sink.
Instructions for applying thermal grease are found at:
CAUTION: Use only the thermal grease specified for this server
(UCS-CPU-GREASE2=). This thermal grease comes in a red-tipped syringe
and is to be used only in the C220 M3 and C240 M3 servers. Other servers
use thermal grease in a blue-tipped syringe (UCS-CPU-GREASE=).
Thermal grease for other systems may have different thermal
conductivity properties and may cause overheating if used in the C220 M3
or C240 M3 servers.
DO NOT use thermal grease available for purchase at any commercial
electronics store. If these instructions are not followed, the CPU may
overheat and be destroyed.
NOTE: When you purchase a spare CPU, the thermal grease with syringe applicator
is included.
Air Baffle Replacement Kit
Air baffles are designed to direct airflow through the server to maintain server temperature at a safe
operating level. These baffles must always remain installed during server operation. The Air Baffle
Replacement Kit includes the air baffles needed for one UCS C220 M3 server.
CPU Heat Sink Cleaning Kit
The cleaning kit is used to remove the existing thermal compound from the bottom of the heat sink during
a CPU replacement process. Instructions for cleaning are found at the following link:

PDUs
Cisco RP Series Power Distribution Units (PDUs) offer power distribution with branch circuit protection.
Cisco RP Series PDU models distribute power to up to 24 outlets. The architecture organizes power
distribution, simplifies cable management, and enables you to move, add, and change rack equipment
without an electrician.
With a Cisco RP Series PDU in the rack, you can replace up to two dozen input power cords with just one.
The fixed input cord connects to the power source from overhead or under-floor distribution. Your IT
equipment is then powered by PDU outlets in the rack using short, easy-to-manage power cords.
The C-series severs accept the zero-rack-unit (0RU) PDU. See Figure 11).

Cisco RP Series PDU models provide two 20-ampere (A) circuit breakers for groups of receptacles. The
effects of a tripped circuit are limited to a receptacle group. Simply press a button to reset that circuit.
