The UCS C220 M5 LFF server extends the capabilities of Cisco’s Unified Computing System portfolio in a 1U form factor with the addition of the 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, DDR4-3200MHz memory, and the new 512GB Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory (PMem). With this combination of features, up to 9 TB of memory is possible (12 x 256 GB DDR4 DIMMs and 12 x 512 GB PMem), two 2 PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 slots, up to four SAS/SATA hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid state drives (SSDs), and one dedicated internal slot for a 12G SAS storage controller card.
The C220 M5 LFF server includes a dedicated internal modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM) slot for installation of a Cisco Virtual Interface Card (VIC) or third-party network interface card (NIC) without consuming a PCI slot in addition to 2 x 10 Gbase-T Intel® x550 embedded (on the motherboard) LOM ports.
The Cisco UCS C220 M5 server can be used standalone, or as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System, which unifies computing, networking, management, virtualization, and storage access into a single integrated architecture, enabling end-to-end server visibility, management, and control in both bare metal and virtualized environments.

Base Standard Capabilities
| Capability/Feature | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Chassis | One rack unit (1RU) chassis | |
| CPU | One or two 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® scalable family CPUs | |
| Chipset | Intel® C621 series chipset | |
| Memory | 24 slots for registered DIMMs (RDIMMs), load-reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs), or through silicon via (TSV) DIMMs and support for Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory (PMem) | |
| Multi-bit Error Protection | This server supports multi-bit error protection. | |
| Video | The Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) provides video using the Matrox G200e video/graphics controller:
| |
| SATA Interposer Board | An optional SATA interposer board provides for up to eight SATA-only drives. | |
| Power subsystem | Up to two of the following hot-swappable power supplies:
| |
| Front Panel | A front panel controller provides status indications and control buttons | |
| ACPI | This server supports the advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) 6.2 standard. | |
| Fans | Seven hot-swappable fans for front-to-rear cooling | |
| Infiniband | The InfiniBand architecture is supported by the PCI slots. | |
