VideoThe Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) provides video using the Matrox G200e video/graphics controller:
  • Integrated 2D graphics core with hardware acceleration
  • 512MB total DDR4 memory, with 16MB dedicated to Matrox video memory
  • Supports all display resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 x 32bpp resolution at 60Hz
  • High-speed integrated 24-bit RAMDAC
  • Single lane PCI-Express host interface
  • eSPI processor to BMC support
Power subsystemOne or two of the following hot-swappable power supplies:
  • 770 W (AC)
  • 1050 W (AC)
  • 1050 W (DC)
  • 1600 W (AC)
  • 1050 W (AC) ELV
One power supply is mandatory; one more can be added for 1 + 1 redundancy.
Front PanelA front panel controller provides status indications and control buttons
ACPIThis server supports the advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) 6.2 standard.
FansSeven hot-swappable fans for front-to-rear cooling
Expansion slots
  • Riser 1 (controlled by CPU 1):
    • One full-height profile, 3/4-length slot with x24 connector and x16 lane.
  • Riser 2 (controlled by CPU 2):
    • One half-height profile, half-length slot with x24 connector and x16 lane.
    • NOTE: Use of PCIe riser 2 requires a dual CPU configuration.
  • Dedicated SAS HBA slot (see Figure 8 on page 44).
  • An internal slot is reserved for use by the Cisco 12G SAS HBA.
InterfacesRear panel:
  • One 1Gbase-T RJ-45 management port (Marvell 88E6176).
  • Two 1/10GBase-T LOM ports (Intel X550 controller embedded on the motherboard).
  • One RS-232 serial port (RJ45 connector).
  • One DB15 VGA connector.
  • Two USB 3.0 port connectors.
  • One flexible modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM) slot that can accommodate various interface cards.
Front panel:
  • One KVM console connector (supplies two USB 2.0 connectors, one VGA DB15 video connector, and one serial port (RS232) RJ45 connector).
Internal storage devices
  • Up to 10 Drives are installed into front-panel drive bays that provide hot-swappable access for SAS/SATA drives. 10 Drives are used as below:
    • Six to eight SAS HDD or six to eight SED SAS HDD (for capacity).
    • One SATA/SAS SSD or one SED SATA/SAS SSD (for caching).
    • One SATA/SAS SSD (System drive for HyperFlex Operations).
  • A mini-storage module connector on the motherboard for M.2 module for one M.2 SATA SSDs for following usage:
    • ESXi boot and HyperFlex storage controller VM.
  • One slot for a micro-SD card on PCIe Riser 1 (Option 1 and 1B).
    • The micro-SD card serves as a dedicated local resource for utilities such as host upgrade utility (HUU). Images can be pulled from a file share (NFS/CIFS) and uploaded to the cards for future use. Cisco Intersight leverages this card for advanced server management.
Integrated management processorBaseboard Management Controller (BMC) running Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) firmware.
  • Depending on your CIMC settings, the CIMC can be accessed through the 1 GE dedicated management port, the 1GE/10GE LOM ports, or a Cisco virtual interface card (VIC).
  • CIMC manages certain components within the server, such as the Cisco 12G SAS HBA.
Storage controllerCisco 12G SAS HBA (JBOD/Pass-through Mode):
  • Supports up to 10 SAS/SATA internal drives
  • Plugs into the dedicated RAID controller slot
mLOM SlotThe mLOM slot on the motherboard can flexibly accommodate the following cards:
  • Cisco VIC 1387 Dual Port 40Gb QSFP CNA mLOM
  • Cisco UCS VIC 1457 Quad Port 10/25G SFP28 CNA mLOM
Note:
  • 1387 VIC natively supports 6300 series FIs.
  • To support 6200 series FIs with 1387, 10G QSAs compatible with 1387 are available for purchase.
  • Breakout cables are not supported with 1387.
  • Use of 10GbE is not allowed when used with 6300 series FI.
PCIe optionsPCIe slots on the Riser 1 and 2 can flexibly accommodate the following cards: Network Interface Card (NICs):
  • Intel X550-T2 dual port 10Gbase-T
  • Intel XXV710-DA2 dual port 25GE NIC
  • Intel i350 quad port 1Gbase-T
  • Intel X710-DA2 dual port 10GE NIC
