Footnote:
[1]You can choose either the default embedded software RAID or the embedded software RAID 5 key upgrade.
The default RAID configuration is embedded software RAID, which supports SATA HDDs (RAID 0, 1, 10).
The embedded software RAID 5 key upgrade supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10.
NotesThe embedded software RAID in the Intel chipset hub is split into two, SATA and sSATA (secondary SATA). They are seen as separate software RAID controllers and are configurable separately.
[2]If you want to boot from a device other than the Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID controller or Cisco 12 Gbps Modular SAS HBA, you can leave the card installed. Just disable the OPROM for its slot, and the system will boot even with the card installed.
[3]External drive PCIe controller card is the Cisco 12G 9300-8e 12G SAS HBA and can be installed simultaneously with the Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID controller card or Cisco 12 Gbps Modular SAS HBA.
[Caveats]-
[1]A maximum of two Cisco 9300-8e 12G SAS HBAs can be installed in any slot (depending on the number of CPUs installed). The system can also support combinations of one Cisco 9300-8e 12G SAS HBA and a Storage Accelerator card along with either a Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID Controller, or a Cisco 12 Gbps Modular SAS HBA.
[2]For the Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID controller you can choose an optional RAID configuration (up to RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 6, 50, 60 if optional FBWC option is chosen), 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 as configuration options. It can also be combined with AHCI support for internal SSDs (SATA Boot Drives) in 24-drive systems (only) and cannot be mixed with Embedded RAID.
[3]A system supports up to 8 SATA-only drives through the embedded software RAID controller if no Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID controller is chosen.
[Approved Configurations]-
[-]The C240 M4 SFF server can be ordered as a UCSC-C240-M4SX (24-drive backplane with SAS expander), a UCSC-C240-M4S2 (16-drive backplane with SAS expander), or UCSC-C240-M4S (8-drive backplane with no SAS expander).
[1]The embedded software RAID (default) supports up to 8 internal SATA HDDs with RAID 0, 1, 10 support.
[2]The embedded software RAID 5 upgrade key option supports up to 8 internal SATA HDDs with RAID 0, 1, 10, 5 support.
[3]The Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID controller upgrade option supports up to 24 internal drives with up to RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 6, 50, 60 support (with FBWC option chosen).
[4]The Cisco 12 Gbps Modular SAS HBA supports up to 24 internal drives with JBOD support.
[5]The Cisco 9300-8e 12G SAS HBA supports up to 8 external SAS ports with JBOD support.
[Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID Controller]-
[1]You can choose the Cisco 12G SAS RAID controller, which plugs into a dedicated RAID controller card slot. This RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 10 (without the FBWC option) and supports RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 6, 50, 60 (with the FBWC option)

The number of RAID groups (virtual drives) supported per RAID controller is as follows:
  • Embedded RAID = 8
  • Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID controller = 64
[2]This controller can be ordered with several modular flash-backed write cache (FBWC) options: 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB. If the controller has a FBWC and you are using a RAID configuration that uses striping (RAID 0, 10, 50, or 60), then the full list of stripe sizes is available (8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024 KB). If the controller does not have a FBWC, then the only stripe size available is 64 KB.
[SAS HBA (internal HDD/SSD/JBOD support)]-
[1]Instead of a RAID controller, you can choose a SAS HBA for internal JBOD drive connectivity (non-RAID):
  • Cisco 12 Gbps Modular SAS HBA, which plugs into a dedicated RAID controller slot.
[1]In addition to a RAID controller or JBOD controller for internal drives, you can choose the following SAS HBA for external JBOD drive connectivity (non-RAID):
Cisco 9300-8e 12G SAS HBA (provides 8 SAS ports for external JBOD connectivity).
[Select Controller Options]-
[1]Select as follows (these choices are dependent on the backplane used (24-drive, 16-drive, or 8-drive backplane)):
[2]For a 24-drive backplane system, select one of the following:
  • Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID controller
  • Cisco 9300-8E 12G SAS HBA option (JBOD support only for external drives)
  • Mixed controllers:

Footnote:
[1]The GPU cards must be inserted into a full length x16 (electrical) PCIe slot. The rest of the PCIe cards are x8 (electrical) and can be plugged into any PCIe slot of riser 1 or riser 2.
[2]The mLOM cards do not plug into any of the riser 1 or riser 2 card slots
[3]The Intel X520 supports the following Cisco PIDs:
UCS-SFP-1WLR and UCS-SFP-1WSR SFPs. Refer to the Intel X520 product brief for a full list of supported optics and cables.
[4]A maximum of six storage accelerator cards are supported and some are riser dependent. 1.3 TB, 2.6 TB, or 3.2 TB cards should not be installed in slots 5 or 6 so the total number of those capacity points is four.
[Caveats]-
[]If you choose an external drives controller (Cisco 9300-8e 12G SAS HBA), it will consume one PCIe slot.
[]A maximum of six storage accelerator cards are supported and some are riser dependent. 1.3 TB, 2.6 TB, or 3.2 TB cards should not be installed in to slots 5 or 6 so the total number of those capacity points is four.
[For 1-CPU systems:]Only the PCIe slots on PCIe riser 1 are available for 1-CPU system.
[-]The PCIe slots on riser 2 are not supported on 1-CPU systems. The slots are full-height PCIe slots 4, 5, and 6
[-]Only a single plug-in PCIe VIC card may be installed on a 1-CPU system, and it must be installed in slot 2 of riser 1. You can order an mLOM VIC card to be installed in the mLOM slot internal to the chassis and thus have two VIC cards in operation at the same time.
[For 2-CPU systems:]Depending on the riser 1 option chosen, up to six PCIe slots are available, three on PCIe riser 1 (PCIe slots 1, 2, and 3) and three on PCIe riser 2 (PCIe slots 4, 5, and 6).
[-]All of the slots are full-height.
[-]Two plug-in PCIe VIC cards can be installed in 2-CPU systems, using slots 2 and 5. In addition, you can order an mLOM VIC card, which is installed in the mLOM slot inside the chassis and thus have three VIC cards in operation at the same time.
[-]If GPUs are installed in slots 2 (Riser 1 option A) and 5 (Riser 2), the NCSI capability automatically switches over to slots 1 (Riser 1 option A) and 4 (Riser 2). Therefore, Cisco PCIe VICs can be installed in slots 1 and 4 if GPUs are installed in slots 2 and 5.
[Notes]UCSM managed servers are discoverable only if a VIC 1225 is installed in slot 2 or a VIC 1227/1227T is installed in the MLOM slot. If you install two GPUs, they must be located in slots 2 and 5. Therefore, if two GPUs are installed, UCSM managed servers are discoverable only if you install a VIC 1227/1227T in the MLOM slot.
[-]The quantity and type of PCIe cards that can be installed depends in the riser card options.

Footnote:
[1]A 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.
[2]A chassis intrusion switch gives a notification of any unauthorized mechanical access into the server.
[Notes]The TPM module used in this system conforms to TPM v1.2 and 2.0, as defined by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG). It is also SPI-based.
[1]TPM installation is supported after-factory. However, a TPM installs with a one-way screw and cannot be replaced, upgraded, or moved to another server. If a server with a TPM is returned, the replacement server must be ordered with a new TPM.
