Power
Cooling
The supercap power module (SCPM) mounts to the
RAID controller card.
The optional I/O expander provides two 8x Gen 3
PCIe expansion slots.
The system can have one or two system I/O controllers
(SIOCs). These provide rear-panel management and
data connectivity.
• Two SFP+ 40 Gb ports each SIOC.
• One 10/100/1000 Ethernet dedicated
management port on each SIOC.
The server nodes each have one rear-panel KVM
connector that can be used with a KVM cable, which
provides two USB, one VGA DB-15, and one serial
DB-9 connector.
Two or four power supplies, 1050 W each
(hot-swappable and redundant as 2+2).
Four internal fan modules that pull front-to-rear
cooling, hot-swappable. Each fan module contains
two fans.
In addition, there is one fan in each power supply.

Server Nodes
The Cisco UCS S3260 system consists of one or two server nodes, each with two CPUs, DIMM memory of
128, 256, or 512 GB, and a RAID card up to 4 GB cache or a pass-through controller. The server nodes can
be one of the following:
• Cisco UCS S3260 M3 Server Node
• Cisco UCS S3260 M4 Server Node—This node might include an optional I/O expander module that
attaches to the top of the server node.
Disk Slots
The Cisco UCS S3260 chassis has 4 rows of 14 disk slots on the HDD motherboard and 4 additional disk
slots on the HDD expansion tray. The following image shows the disk arrangement for the 56 top-accessible,
hot swappable 3.5-inch 6 TB or 4 TB 7200 rpm NL-SAS HDD drives. A disk slot has two SAS ports and
each is connected a SAS expander in the chassis.
