Cisco UCS Cisco UCS C220 M3 High-Density Rack Server (Large Form Factor Hard Disk Drive Model)

CONFIGURING the SERVER

Approved Configurations

(1) No RAID controller plug-in card

■ If you did not choose a plug-in RAID controller (for example, you are using embedded RAID

or a mezzanine RAID controller), you can select up to one PCie option card (for 1-CPU

systems) or two PCie option cards (for 2-CPU systems) listed in

Table 9 on page 24.

(2) One RAID controller plug-in card

■ If you selected a plug-in PCIe RAID controller, you can select none of the optional PCIe cards

(for 1-CPU systems) or one of the optional PCIe cards (for 2-CPU systems) listed in

Table 9

on page 24.

Caveats

■ For 1-CPU systems:

— Only the full-height PCIe slot (slot 1) is supported

— Neither PCIe slot 2 nor the mezzanine card slot are supported

— Only a single VIC card (the Cisco VIC 1225 PCIe card) is supported and it must be

installed in slot 1 (the full-height slot).

■ For 2-CPU systems:

— Both PCIe slots (slots 1 and 2) and the mezzanine card slot are supported

— Only a single VIC card (the half-height Cisco VIC 1225 PCIe card) is supported and it

must be installed in slot 1 (the full height slot).

■ All PCIe cards will fit in either slot.

■ Other considerations for the Cisco VIC 1225:

— Supports 10G SFP+ optical and copper twinax connections

— The server supports installation of one Cisco VIC 1225 card and it is supported only

in PCIe slot 1.

— Requires that the server has CIMC firmware version 1.4(6) or later installed. There is

a heartbeat LED on the top of the card that indicates when firmware is active.

— To use this card for UCS integration (Cisco UCS Manager mode) with Cisco UCS

Manager 2.1(0) or later, the minimum card-firmware and uboot image level is

2.1(0.306).

■ To help ensure that your operating system is compatible with the card you have selected,

check the Hardware Compatibility List at this URL:

NOTE: If a plug-in RAID controller card is installed, any optional PCIe card you select

will be installed in the full-height slot. RAID controllers are always installed in the

half-height slot.
