OVER VIEW
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.
The enterprise-class UCS C220 M3 server extends the capabilities of Cisco’s Unified Computing System
portfolio in a 1U form factor with the addition of the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 and E5-2600 series processor
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-motherboard (LOM) ports delivering outstanding
levels of density and performance in a compact 1U package.

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 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.

STEP 3 SELECT MEMORY
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,
as shown in
Figure 4 C220 M3 SFF Memory Organization

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.
For more information regarding memory, see CPUs and DIMMs, page 58.

STEP 4 SELECT RAID CONFIGURATION
NOTE: If you do not select a mezzanine card, a PCIe RAID controller, 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)
NOTE: When creating a RAID volume, follow these guidelines:
■ Use the same capacity for each drive in the volume
■ Use either all SAS drives or all SATA drives
■ Use either all HDDs or all SSDs
NOTE: The number of RAID groups (virtual drives) supported per controller is as
follows:
■ Embedded RAID = 8
■ LSI MegaRAID 9271-8i, or 9271CV-8i RAID controller card = 64
■ LSI MegaRAID 9285CV-8e, or 9286CV-8e RAID controller card = 64
■ Cisco UCSC RAID SAS 2008M-8i Mezzanine Card = 16
The RAID controller choices are:
(1) Embedded RAID (on motherboard)
NOTE: The RAID configuration options listed in T a ble 8 on page 24 are not available
if you choose embedded RAID (in this case, you must configure RAID yourself using
separate software).
(2) Mezzanine RAID controller cards (not supported in 1-CPU configurations)
(3) PCIe RAID controllers
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.
