OPTIONAL STEP - ORDER RACKS OPTIONAL STEP - ORDER RACKS The optional R42610 rack is available from Cisco for the C-Series servers, including the C460 M2 server. This rack is a standard 19-inch rack and can be ordered with a variety of options, as listed in Table 24. Racks are shipped separately from the C460 M2 server.
OPTIONAL STEP - ORDER PDU OPTIONAL STEP - ORDER PDU An optional power distribution unit (PDU) is available from Cisco for the C-Series rack servers, including theC460 M2 server. This PDU is available in a zero rack unit (RU) style (see Table 24). Table 25 PDU Options Product ID (PID) PID Description RP208-30-2P-U-2 Zero RU PDU For more information about the PDU, see PDUs on page 50.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL CHASSIS An internal view of the C460 M2 chassis with the top cover removed is shown in Figure 8.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL CPUs and DIMMs Physical Layout Each CPU controls four serial memory interface (SMI) channels (see Figure 5 on page 14). There is one memory riser for every two channels. There are therefore two memory risers per CPU. Each CPU channel drives a memory buffer on a riser card, and each memory buffer converts a CPU SMI into two DDR3 subchannels that each read and write two DIMM pairs on a memory riser. The physical layout of a memory riser is shown in Figure 9.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL ■ The DIMMs in any given pair must be identical. ■ Any DIMM installed in a memory riser corresponding to an empty CPU slot becomes inaccessible. ■ For optimal performance, distribute DIMMs evenly across all installed CPUs and memory buffers. ■ DIMMs within a subchannel are populated starting with the DIMMs farthest from the memory buffer in a fill-farthest approach.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL RACKS The Cisco R42610 rack (see Figure 10) is certified for Cisco UCS installation at customer sites and is suitable for the following equipment: ■ Cisco UCS B-Series servers and fabric interconnects ■ Cisco UCS C-Series and select Nexus switches The rack is compatible with hardware designed for EIA-standard 19-inch racks. Rack specifications are listed in Table 26. Table 26 Cisco R42610 Rack Specifications Parameter Standard Rack Expansion Rack Dimensions (H x W x D) 78.

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL PDUs Cisco RP Series Power Distribution Units (PDUs) offer power distribution with branch circuit protection. Cisco RP Series PDU models distribute power to up to 24 outlets. The architecture organizes power distribution, simplifies cable management, and enables you to move, add, and change rack equipment without an electrician. With a Cisco RP Series PDU in the rack, you can replace up to two dozen input power cords with just one.
