OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
The Cisco UCS B200 M2 Blade Server (Figure 1) Server is a two-socket, half-width blade server, using Intel's
Xeon 5500 and 5600 Series processors with 12 DIMM slots, one mezzanine slot to hold an adapter card, and
up to two solid-state disk (SSD) drives or hard disk drives (HDDs). Up to eight half-width blade servers can
be accommodated in the Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis.

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. For example:
Selecting lower-speed DIMMs
DIMMs, the DIMMs will be clocked at the lower speed of 1066 MHz.
Selecting higher-speed DIMMs:
the DIMMS will be clocked at the lower speed of 1066 MHz.
: If you use an X5650 CPU (which can support up to 1333-MHz DIMMs) with 1066-MHz
If you use 1333-MHz DIMMs with an E5620 (which can support up to 1066-MHz DIMMs),

Approved Configurations
(1) One-CPU Configuration
1
■ Choose any one CPU from Table 3 or Table 4.
(2) Two-CPU Configuration
■ Choose two identical CPUs from any one of the rows of Table 3 or Table 4.
Caveats
■ You must select either one CPU or two identical CPUs.
■ For optimal performance, select DIMMs with the highest clock speed for a given processor. If
you select DIMMs whose speeds are lower or higher than that shown in the tables,
suboptimal performance will result.
