The UCS C240 M5 LFF server extends the capabilities of Cisco’s Unified Computing System portfolio in a 2U form factor with the addition of the 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, 2933-MHz DDR4 memory, and the new 512GB Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory (PMem). With this combination of features, up to 9 TB of memory is possible (using 12 x 256 GB DDR4 DIMMs and 12 x 512 GB PMem), up to 6 PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 slots, and up to 12 front-facing internal LFF drives. The C240 M5 LFF server also includes one dedicated internal slot for a 12G SAS storage controller card.


The C240 M5 server includes a dedicated 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 Intel x550 10Gbase-T embedded (on the motherboard) LOM ports.

Rear Drive RAID Options
  • Hardware RAID
    Rear drive bays support SAS or NVMe drives
  • Embedded software RAID
    Rear drive bays support NVMe drives only
Mixing Drive Options

You can mix SAS/SATA hard drives and SAS/SATA SSDs in the same server. However, you cannot configure a logical volume (virtual drive) that contains a mix of hard drives and SSDs. That is, when you create a logical volume, it must contain all SAS/SATA hard drives or all SAS/SATA SSDs.

Memory Options

In a 2U form factor with the addition of the 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, 2933-MHz DDR4 memory, and the new 512GB Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory (PMem). With this combination of features, up to 9 TB of memory is possible (using 12 x 256 GB DDR4 DIMMs and 12 x 512 GB PMem).

Memory will operate at the maximum speed of the Intel Xeon Scalable processor memory controller, ranging from 2133 MHz to 2933 MHz for M5 servers. Check CPU specifications for supported speeds
