Approved Configurations
(1) Two-CPU System
■ Choose four memory riser boards from Table 4.
(1) Four-CPU System
■ Choose eight memory riser boards from Table 4.
Caveats
■ You should order enough risers with enough sockets to accommodate your maximum
forseeable memory needs.
Choose 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
Table 5.
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.

Caveats
■ Each CPU controls four DDR3 channels.
■ The minimum DIMM configuration is at least one matched DIMM pair installed in a memory
riser on either CPU1 or CPU2. All four CPUs can run from a single DIMM pair.
■ DIMMs are required to be populated in pairs. DIMMs for this server are available as two-DIMM
kits.
■ The DIMMs in any given pair must be identical.
■ Any DIMM installed in a memory riser corresponding to an empty CPU slot becomes
inaccessible.
■ For optimal performance, distribute DIMMs evenly across all installed CPUs and memory
buffers.
■ DIMMs within a channel are populated starting with the DIMMs farthest from the memory
buffer in a fill-farthest approach.
■ Matched pairs of risers on paired DDR3 channels must have identical DIMM configurations.

Caveats
■ CPU3 must be installed to support PCIe slots 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10.
■ Legacy I/O devices such as video cards are only supported on slots 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8.
■ The Cisco Card NIC mode is currently supported only with a Cisco 1225 VIC
(UCSC-PCIE-CSC-02) that is installed in PCIe slot 1.
■ The C460 server accommodates the Cisco 1225 Virtual Interface card, which is supported
only in slots 1 and 2.
— Only one Cisco 1225 VIC can be used for both UCSM management and data traffic in
the C460 M2 server
— The Cisco 1225 VIC in slot 1 handles management and data traffic.
— If a second Cisco 1225 VIC is installed in slot 2, it will be used for data traffic only.
This is due to the standby power supplied only to slot 1.
■ All PCIe slots are standard-height and require a standard-height mounting bracket on the
PCIe card.
■ Additional considerations for the Cisco 1225 VIC card:
— Supports 10G SFP+ optical and copper twinax connections
— To use the Cisco Card NIC mode, this card must be installed in PCIe slot 1. Slot 1 can
operate while the server is in standby power mode.
— Requires that the server has CIMC firmware 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).
■ To help ensure that your operating system is compatible with the cards you have selected,
please check the Hardware Compatibility List at this URL:

STEP 13 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.

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.
44
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 25.
NOTE: Cisco does not offer a certified drive destruction service as part of this
service.

CPUs and DIMMs
Physical Layout
Each CPU controls four serial memory interface (SMI) channels (see Figure 5 on page 14). There is one
memory riser for every two channels. There are therefore two memory risers per CPU. Each CPU channel
drives a memory buffer on a riser card, and each memory buffer converts a CPU SMI into two DDR3
subchannels that each read and write two DIMM pairs on a memory riser.
The physical layout of a memory riser is shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9 Memory Riser Physical Layout

In Figure 9, the buffers and channels are:
■ Buffer 1, subchannel 1: slots 1B and 1D
■ Buffer 1, subchannel 2: slots 1A and 1C
■ Buffer 2, subchannel 1: slots 2B and 2D
■ Buffer 2, subchannel 2: slots 2A and 2C
Memory Population Rules
When considering the memory configuration of your server, you should observe the following:
■ The minimum configuration for the server is at least one matched DIMM pair installed in a
memory riser on either CPU1 or CPU2 All four CPUs can run from a single DIMM pair.
■ DIMMs are required to be populated in pairs. DIMMs for this server are configured as
two-DIMM kits.

Cisco UCS C460 M2 High-Performance Rack-Mount Server

Page 50
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL
■ The DIMMs in any given pair must be identical.
■ Any DIMM installed in a memory riser corresponding to an empty CPU slot becomes
inaccessible.
■ For optimal performance, distribute DIMMs evenly across all installed CPUs and memory
buffers.
■ DIMMs within a subchannel are populated starting with the DIMMs farthest from the memory
buffer in a fill-farthest approach.
■ For example, the order that you should populate the four channels on a memory riser is as
follows (see also
— 1.Slots 1B and 1D (buffer 1, subchannel 1)
— 2.Slots 1A and 1C (buffer 1, subchannel 2)
— 3.Slots 2B and 2D (buffer 2, subchannel 1)
— 4.Slots 2A and 2C (buffer 2, subchannel 2

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 11).
Figure 11 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.
