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

(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 10.
Caveats

■ For optimal performance, select DIMMs with the highest clock speed for a given processor
(see
Table 3 on page 10). 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: 800 MHz, 1066 MHz, or 1333 MHz
— Ranks per DIMM: 1, 2, or 4
— Operational voltage: single voltage (1.5 V) or dual voltage (1.35 V/1.5 V)
—Registered
■ DDR3 ECC registered DIMMs (RDIMMs), supporting Intel SDDC
■ Memory is organized with three memory channels per CPU, with up to two DIMMs per
channel, as shown in
Figure 5 C200 M2 SFF Memory Organization

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
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.

CPU 2:
1 DIMM in Channel D
1 DIMM in channel E
CPU 2:
2 DIMMs in Channel D
2 DIMMs in Channel E
NOTE: System performance is optimized when the DIMM type and quantity are equal
for both CPUs.
Caveats
■ DIMM voltage:
— You can mix dual voltage DIMMs (operate at either 1.5 V or 1.35 V) and single voltage
DIMMs (operate at only 1.5 V).
— Dual-voltage DIMMs can be operated in either of these modes:
• Power Saving Mode at a maximum speed of 1066 MHz
• Performance Mode at a maximum speed of 1333 MHz
If you mix both types of DIMMs in your configuration, the server forces all DIMMs to
operate in Performance Mode.
■ Memory mirroring:
If you select the Memory RAS option, be aware that it is available only with an even
number of memory channels. For example, if you select six DIMMs and select
Reliability/Availability/Serviceability (RAS), mirroring will go into effect on only two
14
Cisco UCS C200 M2 High-Density SFF Drive Rack-Mount Server
CONFIGURING the SERVER
channels with two DIMMS per channel (you cannot implement RAS on three channels). In
this case, two DIMMS would go unused.
NOTE: For memory mirroring, DIMM pairing across buses must be identical.
If you only have two DIMMs, they need to be the same PID because you have
one DIMM on each of two buses.
If you have four DIMMs in a 2-CPU system, for example, you can have two
4-GB and two 8-GB DIMMs. One 4-GB/8-GB DIMM pair would located on
Channel A of CPU 1, and one 4-GB/8-GB DIMM pair would be located on
Channel D of CPU 2.
If you have four DIMMs in a 1-CPU system, for example, you can have two
4-GB and two 8-GB DIMMs. One 4-GB/8-GB DIMM pair would located on
Channel A of CPU 1, and one 4-GB/8-GB DIMM pair would be located on
Channel B of CPU 1.

CONFIGURING the SERVER
STEP 4 SELECT RAID CONFIGURATION
The base server motherboard comes with an integrated SATA RAID 0/1 controller, which supports
up to four SATA drives only (SAS drives are not supported). Therefore, a controller is not
required when ordering SATA drives and a RAID 0 or 1 configuration is desired.
You can use the built-in SATA RAID 0/1 controller or you can also choose to implement other RAID
configurations by using optional plug-in PCIe cards or an optional mezzanine board on the server
motherboard.
Cisco can provide factory-configured RAID 0, 1, 1E, 5, 6, and 10 systems depending on the RAID
card chosen and the number of drives ordered. Factory-configured RAID options are listed with
each RAID card description. Note that RAID levels 50 and 60 are supported on the 9280-4i4e and
9260-8i, but are not factory configurable.
Select RAID Options
Select one RAID controller, one RAID configuration option, and, if desired, a battery backup
option listed in

(3) Optional RAID configuration
■ Select one of the RAID configuration options listed in Table 5.
Caveats
■ The two optional RAID controllers are half-height PCIe cards. If you choose one of these
optional cards, only the full-height PCIe card slot will be available for adding an optional
PCIe card.
■ If you choose the mezzanine card, both the half-height and full-height PCIe card slots are
still available for adding optional PCIe cards.
■ You can choose only one RAID controller (integrated controller, plug-in PCIe controller, or
mezzanine card controller).
■ You can choose an optional RAID configuration (RAID 0, 1, 5, 1E, 6, or 10), which is
preconfigured at the factory. If you do not choose a RAID configuration, the disks will be
configured as a JBOD.
NOTE: If an optional RAID configuration is not chosen, the disks will be configured as
a JBOD.
