OVER VIEW
The Cisco® UCS C22 M3 Rack Server combines economics and a density-optimized feature set from entry
level enterprise to SMB with applications such as scale out, virtualization, IT and web infrastructure, VPN
servers, file/print servers, and appliances.
Building on the success of the Cisco UCS C-Series Servers, the Cisco UCS C22 M3 server and the Cisco 1225
VIC further extend the capabilities of the Cisco UCS portfolio in a 1RU form factor with the addition of the
Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2400 series processor family CPUs, which delivers the bes t combina t ion of
performance and efficiency gains. In addition, the Cisc o UCS C22 M3 server offers 12 DI MM slots, up to eight
disk drives, 2 PCIe slots and two 1 Gigabit Ethernet LAN-on-motherboard (LOM) ports that provide both
price/performance in a compact form factor.

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.
1
(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.

Cisco UCS C22 M3 High-Density SFF Rack-Mount Server
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.

CONFIGURING the SERVER
STEP 3 SELECT 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.

Cisco UCS C22 M3 High-Density SFF Rack-Mount Server
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.

CONFIGURING the SERVER
■ Select the memory mirroring option (N01-MMIRROR) as shown in Table 4 on page 13.
(1) 2-CPU configuration without 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
:
Number of
DIMMs per
(Channels C and F are not used with memory mirroring)
DIMM Placement

2 CPU 1:
1 DIMM in Channel A
1 DIMM in Channel B
4 CPU 1:
2 DIMMs in Channel A
2 DIMMs in Channel B
■ Select the memory mirroring option (N01-MMIRROR) as shown in Table 4 on page 13.
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
■ 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.

Enable RAID 6 Setting. Requires a minimum of four drives of the same size,
speed, capacity.
R2XX-RAID10 Factory preconfigured RAID option
Enable RAID 10 Setting. Requires an even number of drives (minimum of four
drives) of the same size, speed, capacity.
CONFIGURING the SERVER
NOTE: Although RAID levels 50 and 60 are not orderable from the factory, they are
supported for selected controllers as shown in
Table 5.
NOTE: No RAID factory preconfigured RAID option can be chosen (a factory RAID
volume cannot be configured) if:
■ there are no drives, or
■ SAS and SATA drives are mixed, or
■ different capacity drives are mixed
Approved Configurations
Select a software RAID option from Table 5 on page 15 or a single plug-in PCIe RAID controller
from Table 6. You may also select an appropriate optional RAID configuration option listed in
Table 6 for plug-in PCIe RAID cards.
Caveats
■ In 1-CPU configurations, there is only one full-height PCIe slot available (located on riser 1).
— If you choose software RAID, you can select one additional optional PCIe card from
Table 8 on page 21
—If you choose a plug-in RAID controller from Table 5 on page 15, you will not be
able to select any optional PCIe card from Table 8 on page 21.

CONFIGURING the SERVER
— Note that only a single Cisco 1225 Virtual Interface Card (VIC) card is supported and
■ In 2-CPU configurations, there are two PCIe slots available (one full-height slot and one
half-height slot).
— If you choo se software RAI D, you can select up to two additional optional PCIe cards
— If you choose a plug-in RAID controller from Table 5 on page 15, you will be able to
■ The optional plug-in PCIe RAID controller cards are all half-height. If you choose one of
these cards in a 2-CPU configuration, only the full-height PCIe card slot will be available for
an additional optional PCIe card.
■ Note that only a single Cisco 1225 Virtual Interface Card (VIC) card is supported and it must
be installed in the full-length, full-height PCIe slot (slot 1) on riser 1, which is the only slot
that supports NCSI. So take this into account when populating RAID controller cards.
■ You can choose only one type of RAID controller, either software RAID or a PCIe plug-in
controller. If you choose software RAID, both PCIe slots are available for adding optional
PCIe cards.

from
Table 8 on page 21
select one additional optional PCIe card from Table 8 on page 21.
■ For plug-in RAID controller cards, 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,
depending on the RAID controller selected, although they are not available as configuration
options.
■ No RAID factory preconfigured RAID option can be chosen (a factory-configured RAID volume
is not available) if:
— there are no drives, or
— SAS and SATA drives are mixed, or
— different capacity drives are mixed
