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.

CONFIGURING the SERVER
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 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).
■ 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.

Approved Configurations
(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:
■ Embedded RAID
■ LSI MegaRAID SAS 9266-8i
■ LSI MegaRAID SAS 9266CV-8i
(2) 2-CPU Configurations
Select an embedded RAID option from Table 5, one mezzanine RAID controller from Table 6 on
page 19, or one PCIe RAID controller from Table 7 on page 19. You may also select an
appropriate optional RAID configuration listed in Table 7 on page 19.
Caveats
■ The mezzanine controller is not available for 1-CPU configurations.
■ If you choose a mezzanine card RAID controller or onboard RAID, both the half-height and
full-height PCIe card slots are still available for adding optional PCIe cards.
■ The optional PCIe RAID controllers are all half-height PCIe cards. If you choose one of these
cards, only the full-height PCIe card slot will be available for adding an optional PCIe card.
■ Note that only a single Cisco VIC card (either the full-height Cisco UCS P81E or 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 only one RAID controller (embedded RAID, plug-in PCIe RAID controller, or
mezzanine card RAID controller).
■ 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

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 (either the full-height Cisco UCS P81E or the Cisco VIC 1225
PCIe card) is supported and it must be installed in slot 1 (the full-height slot).
■ For 2-CPU systems:
— Both PCIe slots and the mezzanine card slot are supported
— Only a single VIC card (either the full-height Cisco UCS P81E or the half-height Cisco
VIC 1225 PCIe card) is supported and it must be installed in slot 1 (the full height
slot).
■ All PCIe cards will fit in either slot, except the Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card (VIC),
which must be installed in the full-height slot (slot 1).
■ Other considerations for the Cisco VIC 1225:
— Supports 10G SFP+ optical and copper twinax connections
— R equires that the server has CIMC firmwar e 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).

Unified Computing Drive Retention Service
With the Cisco Unified Computing Drive Retention (UCDR) Service, you can obtain a new disk
drive in exchange for a faulty drive without returning the faulty drive. In exchange for a Cisco
replacement drive, you provide a signed Certificate of Destruction (CoD) confirming that the
drive has been removed from the system listed, is no longer in service, and has been destroyed.
Sophisticated data recovery techniques have made classified, proprietary, and confidential
information vulnerable, even on malfunctioning disk drives. The UCDR service enables you to
retain your drives and ensures that the sensitive data on those drives is not compromised, which
reduces the risk of any potential liabilities. This service also enables you to comply with
regulatory, local, and federal requirements.
If your company has a need to control confidential, classified, sensitive, or proprietary data, you
might want to consider one of the Drive Retention Services listed in
Table 23.
NOTE: Cisco does not offer a certified drive destruction service as part of this
service.

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 banks are for bank 1 and the
black-colored 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:
■ For optimum performance, populate at least one DIMM per memory channel per CPU. If
using 4 GB DIMMs, you must populate 2 DIMMs per CPU memory channel.
■ The server supports registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) or load-reduced DIMMS (LRDIMMs), however,
do not mix RDIMMs and LRDIMMs in a server.
■ 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 26
Table 26 DIMM Mixing Rules for C220 M3 Server
DIMM Parameter Mixed Mix Across a Single Bank? Mix Across Multiple Banks?
DIMM Size (4, 8, 16 GB) No—Must be same size in the

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL
Recommended Memory Configuration
This section explains the recommended DIMM population order rules for the C220 M3 server.
■ All DIMMs must be DDR3 DIMMs.
■ Do not mix:
— DIMMs with different sizes or clock rates in a bank
— RDIMMs and LRDIMMs
— ECC and non-ECC DIMMs
■ There are blue and black DIMM slots. Populate blue slots first.
■ 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.
Many memory configurations are possible. For best results, follow Table 27 when populating DIMMs.

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL
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.
RAID Summary
The C220 M3 SFF server has an 8-drive backplane.
■ ROM5 and ROM55 embedded RAID upgrade options support up to 8 drives
■ Mezzanine card (UCSC-RAID-11-C220) supports up to 8 drives
■ Mezzanine card (UCSC-RAID-MZ-220) supports up to 8 drives
■ SAS 9266-8i and SAS 9266CV-8i PCIe cards support up to 8 drives
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)

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 9).
Figure 9 Zero Rack Unit PDU (PID = RP208-30-2P-U-2)
1 Breakers 3 C19 plugs
2 Ground connection 4 C13 plugs
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.
