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.

ACPIThis server supports the advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) 6.2 standard.
FansSeven hot-swappable fans for front-to-rear cooling
InfinibandThe InfiniBand architecture is supported by the PCI slots.
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.
  • ■ Dedicated RAID controller slot
    • • An internal slot is reserved for use by the Cisco 12G SAS RAID controller or the Cisco 12G SAS HBA.
Interfaces
  • Rear panel
    • • One 1Gbase-T RJ-45 management port (Marvell 88E6176)
    • • Two 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 devicesDrive storage:
Drives are installed into front-panel drive bays that provide hot-swappable access for SAS/SATA drives. The server accommodates up to 4 x 3.5-inch SAS and SATA HDDs and SSDs and up to 2 NVMe PCIe drives
  • Other storage:
  • One internal USB 3.0 port on the motherboard that you can use with an optional 16 GB USB thumb drive for additional storage.
  • A mini-storage module connector on the motherboard supports either:
    • • An SD card module with two SD card slots. Mixing different capacity SD cards is not supported.
    • • An M.2 module with two SATA M.2 SSD slots. Mixing different capacity M.2 modules is not supported.
  • One socket for a micro-SD card on PCIe riser 1. The micro-SD card serves as a dedicated local resource for utilities such as HUU. Images can be pulled from a file share (NFS/CIFS) and uploaded to the cards for future use.
NOTE: SD cards and M.2 SSDs cannot be mixed. See details for RAID functionality in the M.2 SATA SSDs (Optional) section.
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 1GE 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.
