CISCO M6 C220 Base Knowledge
The Cisco UCS C220 M6 Rack Server is a 2-socket, 1-Rack-Unit (1RU) rack server offering industry-leading performance and expandability. It delivers industry-leading performance and efficiency for a wide range of workloads, including virtualization, collaboration, and bare-metal applications.
- Supports the third-generation Intel Xeon Scalable CPU, with up to 40 cores per socket
- Up to 32 DDR4 DIMMs for improved performance including higher density DDR4 DIMMs (16 DIMMs per socket)
- 16x DDR4 DIMMs + 16x Intel Optane persistent memory modules for up to 10 TB of memory
- Up to 3 PCIe 4.0 slots plus a modular LAN on Motherboard (mLOM) slot
- Support for Cisco UCS VIC 1400 Series adapters as well as third-party options
- Up to 10 SAS/SATA or NVMe disk drives
- Support for 12-Gbps SAS modular RAID controller in a dedicated slot, leaving the remaining PCIe Generation 4.0 slots available for other expansion cards
- Option for 10 direct-attach NVMe drives at PCIe Gen4 x4 each
- 2 boot options
- Up to 960 GB with optional hardware RAID
- Up to three GPUs supported
- Modular LAN-On-Motherboard (mLOM) slot that can be used to install a Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) without consuming a PCIe slot, supporting quad port 10/40 Gbps or dual port 40/100 Gbps network connectivity
- Dual embedded Intel x550 10GBASE-T LAN-On-Motherboard (LOM) ports

Memory
32 DDR4 DIMM slots: 16, 32, 64 and 128 GB up to 3200 MHz. Also, support for the Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory (128G, 256G, 512G). 4 TB: 32 x 128 GB DDR4 DIMMs, or 10 TB: 16 x 128 GB DDR4 DIMMs and 16 x 512 GB Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory Modules (PMem).
Drive Options
The default configuration is Advanced Host Control Interface (AHCI), which supports SATA-only drives. A maximum of 8 SATA drives are supported with AHCI and this configuration requires a SATA interposer board, which plugs directly into the drive backplane. AHCI supports up to 8 internal SATA HDDs (slots 1-8) with no RAID support.
- UCSC-C220-M6S | Up to 10 x 2.5-inch SAS and SATA HDDs and SSDs and up to 4 NVMe PCIe drives. You can mix and match in drive bays 1 - 4. For example, slots 1 and 2 can hold NVMe drives and slots 3 and 4 can hold SAS/SATA HDDs or SSDs.
- UCSC-C220-M6N | Up to 10 x 2.5-inch NVMe PCIe SSDs (All direct attach Gen4 x4). If NVMe drives are selected, you must also select 2 CPUs.
- If using a SATA Interposer board, up to a maximum of 8 SATA-only drives can be configured (slots 1-4 and 6-9 only)
- Dual M.2 SATA SSDs with HW Raid 1 support. UCS-M2-HWRAID is required when selecting the M.2 SATA drives. The SATA M.2 drives can boot in UEFI mode only. Legacy boot mode is not supported. You cannot mix M.2 SATA SSD capacities.
Expansion Slots
One to three half-height PCIe risers, or One to two full-height PCIe risers are supported. You must have 2 CPUs for Riser 3 to work or for Riser 2 to have a x16 slot for the full height Riser.
Byond the 3 PCIe 4.0 slots there is also 1 dedicated 12-Gbps RAID controller or SAS pass-through HBA slot and 1 dedicated mLOM slot. The UCS C220 M6 server has two LOM ports (10Gbase-T LOM) and a single 1 GbE management port. The Dedicated mLOM slot can flexibly accommodate 10/25/40, and 100-Gbps adapters. The system also has an Embedded Network Interface Cards (NICs) Dual 10GBASE-T Intel x550 Ethernet ports.
