Power subsystem One 450 W power supply or one 650 W power supply, depending on server
configuration and loading. Prior to making a power supply selection, the UCS
Power Calculator should be run to determine the right size power supply for
your server configuration. A fully configured C22 M3 server may require the
650 W power supply. The UCS Power Calculator can be found at the following
link:
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.
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 10.
Caveats
■You can select either one processor or two identical CPUs.
■If you select one CPU, only one PCIe slot (the full-height slot on riser 1) is available for use.

CONFIGURING the SERVER
■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 3SELECT MEMORY
The standard memory features are:
■DIMMs
—Clock speed: 1333 or 1600 MHz
—Ranks per DIMM: 1 or 2
—Operational voltage: dual voltage capable (1.5 V or 1.35 V)
—Registered ECC DDR3 DIMMS (RDIMMS)
■Memory is organized with three memory channels per CPU, with up to two DIMMs per
channel, as shown in
Figure 4 C22 M3 SFF Memory Organization
Figure 4.

Select DIMMs
Select the memory configuration. The available memory DIMMs are listed in Table 4.
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.
■Select from 1 to 6 DIMMs. Refer to Memory Population Rules, page 46, for more detailed
information.
(2) 1-CPU configuration with memory mirroring:

■Select from 1 to 6 DIMMs per CPU (2 to 12 DIMMs total). Refer to Memory Population Rules,
page 46, for more detailed information.
(2) 2-CPU configuration with memory mirroring:
■Select 2 or 4 DIMMs per CPU (4 or 8 DIMMs total). The DIMMs will be placed by the factory as
shown in the following table
:

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
■Do not mix 1333 MHz and 1600 MHz DIMMs
■Do not mix DIMM types (RDIMM, LRDIMM, or UDIMM)
■Do not select more than two different types of DIMMs (only two PID types allowed)
■For 2-CPU configurations, install a minimum of 2 DIMMs (one per CPU).
■If you use different types of DIMMs, the quantity of each type of DIMM must be even (2, 4, or
6). For example, 4 UCS-MR-1X082RY-A DIMMs and 6 UCS-MR-1X162RY-A DIMMs. Also, the sum
of all PIDs must adhere to the maximum quantity rule of 12 DIMMs for 2-CPU systems.
■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.
For more information regarding memory, see CPUs and DIMMs, page 44.

STEP 9ORDER POWER SUPPLY
The C22 M3 server accommodates one power supply. A lightly loaded server can operate from
one 450 W power supply. A fully loaded server might need to be powered with a 650 W power
supply (see
Prior to making a power supply selection, the UCS Power Calculator should be run to determine
the right size power supply for your server configuration. A fully configured C22 M3 server may
require the 650 W power supply. The UCS Power Calculator can be found at the following link:

Page 31
STEP 11 ORDER A TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE
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.
The TPM ordering information is listed in Table 14.

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 21.
NOTE: Cisco does not offer a certified drive destruction service as part of this
service.

CPUs and DIMMs
Physical Layout
Each CPU has three DIMM channels:
■CPU1 has channels A, B, and C
■CPU2 has channels D, E, and F
Each DIMM channel has two banks: Bank 0 and Bank 1. The blue-colored DIMM banks are for Bank 0 and the
black-colored are for Bank 1.
As an example, DIMM slots A0, B0, and C0 belong to Bank 0, while A1, B1, and C1 belong to Bank 1.
Figure 7 shows how banks and channels are physically laid out on the motherboard. The DIMM slots on the
top (channels A, B, and C) are associated with CPU 1, while the DIMM slots on the bottom (channels D, E,
and F) are associated with CPU 2. Bank 0 slots (blue) are populated before Bank 1 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 A0 and A1).
—Each channel can operate with one or two DIMMs installed.
—If a channel has only one DIMM, populate slot 0 first (the blue slot).
■When both CPUs are installed, populate the DIMM slots of each CPU identically.
—Fill blue slots in the channels first: A0, D0, B0, E0, C0, F0
—Fill black slots in the channels second: A1, D1, B1, E1, C1, F1
■Any DIMM installed in a DIMM socket for which the CPU is absent is not recognized.
■For optimum performance, populate at least one DIMM per memory channel per CPU.
■When populating DIMM slots, multiples of 6 DIMMs are best for achieving optimum
performance, since there are 3 memory channels per CPU socket and 2 CPUs must be
populated.
■At 1 DPC and 2 DPC, 1600-MHz DIMMS will run at 1600 MHz (provided the CPU supports 1600
MHz DIMMs) and 1333-MHz DIMMs will run at 1333 MHz.
■When mixing DIMMs, the following rules need to be followed:
—When mixing DIMMs of different densities (sizes), populate DIMMs with the highest
density first. For example, if you have to mix 16 GB with 8 GB DIMMs, populate 16
GB DIMMs in blue slots (or bank 0) and then 8 GB in black slots (or bank 1).
—When mixing DIMMs with different ranks, populate DIMMs with the higher rank first.
For example, populate 16 GB 2R or 8 GB 2R before 4 GB 1R DIMMs.
—DIMMs of different sizes (4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB) can be mix ed across diff erent channels.
Total memory size in a single channel should be the same. For example, if you are
mixing 4 GB and 8 GB DIMMs to achieve total 72 GB (6x8 GB + 6x4 GB) for a server,
then populate blue slots with 8 GB DIMMs and black slots with 4 GB DIMMs and total
memory size should be 12 GB across all 3 channels for both CPUs.
—When mixing DIMMs, all the DIMMs in the server must be the same speed.

Notes . . .
Recommended Memory Population
This section explains the recommended DIMM population order rules for the C22 M3 server.
■All DIMMs must be DDR3 DIMMs.
■Mixing of Registered and Unbuffered DIMMs is not allowed per platform.
■Do not mix 1333-MHz DIMMs with 1600-MHz DIMMs.
Follow Table 24 when populating DIMMs in the server.

1. For 48 GB, there are two possible sweet spot configurations:
• 6 x 8 GB occupies 1 DPC, so there is a possibility of increasing total memory size in the system (beyond 48 GB) by
going to 2 DPC while still maintaining memory speed at 1600 MHz.
• If there is no plan to increase total memory size in the system (beyond 48 GB), then 12 x 4GB is more price
effective at this time.
2. For 96 GB, there are two possible optimal configurations:
• 6 x 16GB occupies 1 DPC, so there is a possibility of increasing total memory size in the system (beyond 96 GB)
by going to 2 DPC while maintaining the maximum memory speed at 1600 MHz.
• 12 x 8GB gives the peak performance for this configuration and is recommended if there is no plan of increasing
the total memory in the future.

Low-Voltage DIMM Considerations
The C22 M3 server can be ordered with low-voltage (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.

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)

2Ground connection4C19 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.
