OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
The Cisco UCS C220 M4 LFF rack server is the newest 2-socket, 1U rack server from Cisco, designed for
both performance and expandability over a wide range of storage-intensive infrastructure workloads from
web serving to distributed database.
The enterprise-class UFCS C220 M4 LFF server extends the capabilities of Ciscos Unified Computing System
portfolio in a 1U form factor with the addition of the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 and v4 series processor family
that deliver significant performance and efficiency gains. In addition, the UCS C220 M4 SFF server provides
24 DIMM slots, up to 4 drives and 2 x 1 GbE LAN-on-motherboard (LOM) ports delivering outstanding levels of
density and performance in a compact 1U package.
The C220 M4 SFF server includes a 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 1 GbE embedded (on the motherboard) LOM ports. These features combine to provide
outstanding levels of internal memory and storage expandability along with exceptional performance.
The Cisco UCS C240 M4 LFF server can be used standalone, or as part of the Cisco Unified Computing
System, which unifies computing, networking, management, virtualization, and storage access into a single
integrated architecture enabling end-to-end server visibility, management, and control in both bare metal
and virtualized environments.

Notes . . .
1. If higher or lower speed DIMMs are selected than what is shown in the table for a given CPU, the DIMMs will be
clocked at the lowest common denominator of CPU clock and DIMM clock.
2. The E5-2609 v3 CPU does not support Intel Hyper-Threading or Intel Turbo Boost technologies.
Approved Configurations
(1) 1-CPU configurations:
Select any one CPU listed in Table 4 on page 13.
(2) 2-CPU Configurations:
Select two identical CPUs from any one of the rows of Table 4 on page 13.
Caveats
You can select either one processor or two identical processors.

The selection of 1 or 2 CPUs depends on the desired server functionality. See the following
sections:
STEP 4 SELECT MEMORY, page 16 (memory mirroring section)
STEP 8 SELECT PCIe OPTION CARD(s), page 32
Table 9 on page 26 (RAID support table)
For optimal performance, select DIMMs with the highest clock speed for a given processor
(see Table 4 on page 13). If you select DIMMs whose speeds are lower or higher than that
shown in the tables, suboptimal performance will result.
STEP 4 SELECT MEMORY

The standard memory features are:
DIMMs
Clock speed: 2400 or 2133 MHz
Ranks per DIMM: 1, 2, 4, or 8
Operational voltage: 1.2 V
Registered ECC DDR4 DIMMs (RDIMMs) or load-reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs)
Memory is organized with four memory channels per CPU, with up to three DIMMs per

Select DIMMs and Memory Mirroring
Select the memory configuration and whether or not you want the memory mirroring option.
The available memory DIMMs and mirroring option are listed in Table 5.
NOTE: When memory mirroring is enabled, the memory subsystem simultaneously

writes identical data to two channels. If a memory read from one of the channels
returns incorrect data due to an uncorrectable memory error, the system
automatically retrieves the data from the other channel. A transient or soft error in
one channel does not affect the mirrored data, and operation continues unless there
is a simultaneous error in exactly the same location on a DIMM and its mirrored
DIMM. Memory mirroring reduces the amount of memory available to the operating
system by 50% because only one of the two populated channels provides data.

NOTE: System performance is optimized when the DIMM type and quantity are equal
for both CPUs, and when all channels are filled equally across the CPUs in the server.
Caveats
System speed is dependent on how many DIMMs are populated per channel and the CPU
DIMM speed support. See Table 6 and Table 7 on page 20 for details.

Notes . . .
1. Available at a future date
2. When you mix 2400 MHz RDIMMs of different sizes (for example, 8x32GB + 8x16GB), the memory speed clocks
one step down to 2133 MHz.
The C220 M4 server supports four different memory reliability, availability, and
serviceability (RAS) modes:
Independent Channel Mode
Mirrored Channel Mode
Lockstep Channel Mode
Below are the system level RAS Mode combination limitations:
Mixing of Independent and Lockstep channel mode is not allowed per platform.
Mixing of Non-Mirrored and Mirrored mode is not allowed per platform.
Mixing of Lockstep and Mirrored mode is not allowed per platform.
Do not mix RDIMMs with LRDIMMs
Do not mix 64GB DDR4-2133-MHz TSV-RDIMMs with any other DIMMs
Single-rank DIMMs can be mixed with dual-rank DIMMs in the same channel
Do not mix quad-rank DIMMs with single- or dual-rank DIMMs in the same channel
For best performance, observe the following:
DIMMs with different timing parameters can be installed on different slots within the
same channel, but only timings that support the slowest DIMM will be applied to all.
As a consequence, faster DIMMs will be operated at timings supported by the slowest
DIMM populated.
When one DIMM is used, it must be populated in DIMM slot 1 (farthest away from the
CPU) of a given channel.
When single, dual or quad rank DIMMs are populated for 2DPC or 3DPC, always
populate the higher number rank DIMM first (starting from the farthest slot). For a
3DPC example, first populate with quad-rank DIMMs in the DIMM slot 1. Then
dual-rank DIMMs in the DIMM 2 slot. Then single-rank DIMMs in the DIMM 3 slot.
DIMMs for CPU 1 and CPU 2 (when populated) must always be configured identically.
When using mirroring, DIMMs must be installed in identical pairs across paired DDR4 buses.
That is, mirrored pairs in channels A and B must be identical and pairs in channels C and D
must be identical. However, the DIMMs used in channels A and B can be different from those
in channels C and D.
Memory mirroring reduces the amount of available memory by 50% (quantity of DIMMs must
be even for mirroring).
Non-ECC DIMMs are not supported.
Cisco memory from previous generation servers (DDR3) is not compatible with this server
For more information regarding memory, see CPUs and DIMMs, page 64.
STEP 5 SELECT RAID CONTROLLERS
RAID Controller Options (internal HDD/SSD support)
Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID Controller

You can choose the Cisco 12G SAS RAID controller, which plugs into a dedicated RAID controller card slot.
This RAID controller supports RAID 0, 1, 10 (without the FBWC option) and supports up to RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 6,
50, 60 (with the FBWC option).
NOTE: The number of RAID groups (virtual drives) supported per RAID controller is
as follows:
Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID controller = 64
NOTE: This controller can be ordered with several modular flash-backed write
cache (FBWC) options: 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB. If the controller has a FBWC and
you are using a RAID configuration that uses striping (RAID 0, 10, 50, or 60), then the
full list of stripe sizes is available (8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024 KB). If the
controller does not have a FBWC, then the only stripe size available is 64 KB.
SAS HBA (internal HDD/SSD/JBOD support)

Instead of a RAID controller, you can choose the following SAS HBA for internal drive connectivity
(non-RAID):
Cisco 12 Gbps Modular SAS HBA, which plugs into a dedicated RAID controller slot.
SAS HBA (external JBOD support)

In addition to a RAID controller or JBOD controller for internal drives, you can choose the
following SAS HBA for external JBOD drive connectivity (non-RAID):
Cisco 9300-8e 12G SAS HBA (provides 8 SAS ports for external JBOD connectivity).
RAID Volumes and Groups

When creating each RAID volume, follow these guidelines:
Use the same capacity for each drive in each RAID volume
For the Cisco 12G SAS modular RAID controller:

Notes . . .
1. For all self-encrypting drives (SED), standalone Management (CIMC) is supported for configuring and managing
local keys (UCSM is not supported). For now, SED drives are managed with local key management only. In the
future, third-party key management will be supported. Also, 4K sector format drives do not support Vmware
and require UEFI boot.
2. UCS Rack Servers require minimum firmware version 2.0(4) to support 4K sector size drives.
Operating Systems supported on 4k sector size drives is as follows:
- Windows: Win2012 and Win2012R2
- Linux: RHEL 6.5/6.6/6.7/7.0/7.2/SLES 11 SP3 and SLES 12
- ESXi/VMware is not supported
UEFI Mode must be used when booting from 4K sector size drives, legacy mode is not supported.
Ensure that 4K sector size and 512 byte sector size drives are not mixed in the same RAID volume.

Notes . . .
1. The mLOM cards do not plug into any of the riser 1 or riser 2 card slots; instead, they plug into a dedicated
connector inside the server chassis.
2. A maximum of two storage accelerator cards are supported if they are half height; the supported number of
full height cards is one.
(1) 1-CPU Systems
You can select up to one PCie option card (slot 1 for 1-CPU systems) listed in Table 12.
(2) 2-CPU Systems
You can select up to two PCie option cards (slots 1 and 2 for 2-CPU systems) listed in
Table 12.
Caveats
A maximum of two storage accelerator cards are supported if they are half height; the
supported number of full height cards is one.
For 1-CPU systems:
Only the full-height PCIe slot on riser 1 (slot 1) is supported
Only a single PCIe VIC card is supported and must be installed in slot 1 (the
full-height slot). However, in addition to the one PCIe VIC card, you can also choose
to install an mLOM VIC card.
If any of the Storage Accelerator cards are installed, they can be installed only in
slot 1.
For 2-CPU systems:
Both PCIe slots (slots 1 and 2) are supported
Two plug-in PCIe VIC cards can be installed in 2-CPU systems, using slots 1 and 2. In
addition, you can order an mLOM VIC card, which is installed in the mLOM slot inside
the chassis and thus have three VIC cards in operation at the same time. See
Table 12 on page 32 for the selection of plug-in and mLOM VIC cards. See also
Table 1 on page 6.
If any of the Storage Accelerator cards are installed, they can be installed only in
slot 1.
Other considerations for the Cisco VIC 1225/1225/1227/1227T/1385 cards:
VIC 1225 and VIC 1227/1227T support 10G SFP+ optical and copper twinax
connections
VIC 1225T Supports RJ45 Category 6 or better twisted pair cable connections
VIC 1385 supports a 4x10 Gbps QSFP to SFP breakout fiber cable.
The server supports installation of two PCIe Cisco VIC 1225/1225T/1385 cards and
they are supported in PCIe slots 1 and 2. Slot 1 is the primary slot for UCSM
integration and for Cisco card NIC mode.
The server supports up to two PCIe Cisco VICs (1225, 1225T, 1385) plus an MLOM VIC
(1227, 1227T), however, single wire management is supported on only one VIC at a
time. If multiple VICs are installed on a server, only one slot has NCSI enabled at a
time and for single wire management, priority goes to the MLOM slot, then slot 1,
then slot 2 for NCSI management traffic. When multiple cards are installed, connect
the single wire management cables in the priority order mentioned above.
For the Cisco UCS VIC1225, requires that the server has CIMC firmware version 1.4(6)
or later installed and VIC firmware of 2.1(0) or later. For the Cisco UCS VIC1225T,
requires that the server has CIMC firmware version 1.5(1) or later installed and VIC
firmware of 2.1(1) or later.
The VIC features mentioned in this section are supported with the following
software releases: 2.0.6 (CIMC) and 2.2.5a (UCSM).
To help ensure that your operating system is compatible with the card you have selected,
check the Hardware Compatibility List at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10477/prod_technical_reference_list.html
STEP 9 ORDER OPTIONAL NETWORK CARD ACCESSORIES
Copper twinax cables and SFP optical modules may be ordered to support the two-port network cards that
are available with the server.
Choose Optional Twinax Cables
Table 13 lists the copper twinax cables available for the PCIe cards. You can choose cable
lengths of 1, 3, 5, 7, or 10 meters. The two longer cables (7 and 10 meters) are active, which
means that they contain active components within the SFP+ housing to improve signal quality.
Table 13 Available Twinax Cables
SFP-H10GB-CU1M 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Cable (1 M)
SFP-H10GB-ACU7M 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Cable (7 M)
SFP-H10GB-ACU10M 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Cable (10 M)
(1) Choose Up to Two Twinax Cables for Each Network Card Ordered
You may choose one or two twinax cables for each compatible PCIe network card ordered.
The cables can be different lengths; however, you would normally order two cables of equal
lengths to connect to the primary and redundant network switching equipment.
Choose Optional SFP Modules
Optical Cisco SFP+ modules are listed in Table 14.
Table 14 Available SFP Modules
SFP-10G-SR 10GBASE-SR SFP+ Module

850 nm, multimode, SR, 3.3V, LC connector, with Digital Optical Monitoring

DS-SFP-FC8G-SW 8 Gbit SFP+ Module

850 nm, multimode, SR, 3.3V, LC connector, with Digital Optical Monitoring
(1) Choose Up to Two SFP+ Modules for Each Network Card Ordered
You may choose one or two SFP+ optical modules cables for each compatible PCIe network
card ordered. You would normally order two modules for connecting to the primary and
redundant network switching equipment. With the SFP+ optical modules, you can use
common fiber optic cables, widely available.
See the Figure 5 on page 40 for typical SFP+ and twinax connections to the network cards.
Caveats
Check the table on the following page for compatibility between the PCIe network cards and
SFPs or twinax cables.
NOTE: The table shows all PCIe network cards for all C-series servers. Not all of
the cards shown in the table are supported in this server. The intent of the table
is to show compatibility between cards and twinax cables or SFPs.

STEP 12 ORDER TOOL-LESS RAIL KIT AND OPTIONAL REVERSIBLE CABLE

MANAGEMENT ARM
Select a Tool-Less Rail Kit
Select a tool-less rail kit from Table 18.
Table 18 Tool-Less Rail Kit Options
UCSC-RAILF-M4 Friction Rail Kit for C220 M4 Servers
UCSC-RAILB-M4 Ball Bearing Rail Kit for C220 M4 and C240 M4 Servers
Select an Optional Reversible Cable Management Arm
The reversible cable management arm mounts on either the right or left slide rails at the rear of
the server and is used for cable management. Use Table 19 to order a cable management arm.
Table 19 Cable Management Arm
UCSC-CMAF-M4 Reversible CMA for C220 M4 tool-less friction and ball bearing rail kit
For more information about the tool-less rail kit and cable management arm, see the Cisco UCS
C220 M4 Installation and Service Guide at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C220M4/install/C220M4.html
NOTE: If you plan to rackmount your UCS C220 M4 server, you must order a tool-less
tool-less rail kits.
STEP 13 SELECT NIC MODE (OPTIONAL)

By default, the C220 M4 server NIC mode is configured to be Shared LOM Extended. This NIC
mode allows any LOM port or adapter card port to be used to access the Cisco Integrated
Management Controller (CIMC). The Cisco VIC card must be installed in a slot with NCSI support.
To change the default NIC mode to Dedicated, select the UCSC-DLOM-01 PID shown in Table 20.
In Dedicated NIC mode, the CIMC can be accessed only through the dedicated management port.
See Chassis Rear View, page 5 for the location of the management port.
To change the default NIC mode to Cisco Card Mode, select the UCSC-CCARD-01 PID shown in
Table 20. In this mode, you can assign an IP address to the CIMC using DHCP and from there you
can fully automate your deployment.
For more details on all the NIC mode settings, see
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/sw/gui/config/guide/2-0/b_

Table 20 Dedicated NIC Mode Ordering Information
UCSC-DLOM-01 Dedicated Mode BIOS setting for C-Series Servers
UCSC-CCARD-01 Cisco Card Mode BIOS setting for C-Series Servers
STEP 14 ORDER A TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE (OPTIONAL)

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a computer chip (microcontroller) that can securely store
artifacts used to authenticate the platform (server). These artifacts can include passwords,
certificates, or encryption keys. A TPM can also be used to store platform measurements that
help ensure that the platform remains trustworthy. Authentication (ensuring that the platform
can prove that it is what it claims to be) and attestation (a process helping to prove that a
platform is trustworthy and has not been breached) are necessary steps to ensure safer
computing in all environments.
The TPM ordering information is listed in Table 21.
Table 21 Trusted Platform Module
UCSX-TPM2-001 Trusted Platform Module 1.2 SPI-based for UCS Servers
UCSX-TPM2-002 Trusted Platform Module 2.0 for UCS servers
NOTE: The TPM module used in this system conforms to TPM v1.2 and 2.0, as
defined by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG). It is also SPI-based.
NOTE: TPM installation is supported after-factory. However, a TPM installs with a

one-way screw and cannot be replaced, upgraded, or moved to another server. If a
server with a TPM is returned, the replacement server must be ordered with a new
TPM. If there is no existing TPM in the server, you can install TPM 2.0. You must first
upgrade to UCS firmware that supports Intel E5-2600 v4 CPUs, which is Cisco UCS
Manager Release 2.2(7) and later or Release 3.1(1) and later (because Cisco aligned
support for TPM 2.0 with these CPUs).
CAUTION: If the Cisco UCS server (with Intel E5-2600 v4 or v3 CPUs) is running UCS
firmware that added support for Intel E5-2600 v4 CPUs, then it will work with TPM
version 2.0. However, if you downgrade the firmware and BIOS to a version earlier
than Release 2.2(7) or earlier than Release 3.1(1), then you are vulnerable to a
potential security exposure. See the following support matrix for TPM versions.
Table 22 TPM Support Matrix by Intel CPU Version
Intel CPU TPM Version Minimum UCS Manager (UCSM) Version
Intel E5-2600 v3 TPM 1.2 Release 2.2(3)
TPM 2.0 Release 2.2(7) or Release 3.1(1)

Unified Computing Drive Retention Service
With the Cisco Unified Computing Drive Retention (UCDR) Service, you can obtain a new disk
drive in exchange for a faulty drive without returning the faulty drive. In exchange for a Cisco
replacement drive, you provide a signed Certificate of Destruction (CoD) confirming that the
drive has been removed from the system listed, is no longer in service, and has been destroyed.
Sophisticated data recovery techniques have made classified, proprietary, and confidential
information vulnerable, even on malfunctioning disk drives. The UCDR service enables you to
retain your drives and ensures that the sensitive data on those drives is not compromised, which
reduces the risk of any potential liabilities. This service also enables you to comply with
regulatory, local, and federal requirements.
If your company has a need to control confidential, classified, sensitive, or proprietary data, you
might want to consider one of the Drive Retention Services listed in Table 34.
NOTE: Cisco does not offer a certified drive destruction service as part of this
service.

CPUs and DIMMs
Physical Layout
Each CPU has four DIMM channels:
CPU1 has channels A, B, C, and D

CPU2 has channels E, F, G, and H
Each DIMM channel has three slots: slot 1, slot 2, and slot 3. The blue-colored DIMM slots are for slot 1, the
black-colored slots for slot 2, and the white slots for slot 3.
As an example, DIMM slots A1, B1, C1, and D1 belong to slot 1, while A2, B2, C2, and D2 belong to slot 2.
Figure 8 shows how slots and channels are physically laid out on the motherboard. The DIMM slots on the
right half of the motherboard (channels A, B, C, and D) are associated with CPU 1, while the DIMM slots on
the left half of the motherboard (channels E, F, G, and H) are associated with CPU 2. The slot 1 (blue) DIMM
slots are always located farther away from a CPU than the corresponding slot 2 (black) and slot 3 (white)
slots. Slot 1 slots (blue) are populated before slot 2 slots (black) and slot 3 (white) slots.
Figure 8 Physical Layout of CPU DIMM Channels and Slots
Memory Population Rules

When considering the memory configuration of your server, you should consider the following items:
Each channel has three DIMM slots (for example, channel A = slots A1, A2, and A3).
A channel can operate with one, two, or three DIMMs installed.
If a channel has only one DIMM, populate slot 1 first (the blue slot).
When both CPUs are installed, populate the DIMM slots of each CPU identically.
Fill blue slots in the channels first: A1, E1, B1, F1, C1, G1, D1, H1
Fill black slots in the channels second: A2, E2, B2, F2, C2, G2, D2, H2
Fill white slots in the channels third: A3, E3, B3, F3, C3, G3, D3, H3
Any DIMM installed in a DIMM socket for which the CPU is absent is not recognized.
Observe the DIMM mixing rules shown in Table 37

All DIMMs must be DDR4 DIMMs.
Do not mix:
DIMMs with different clock rates in a channel
RDIMMs and LRDIMMs
There are blue, black, and white DIMM slots. Populate blue slots first.
When DIMMs ranks are mixed in the same channel, always populate the highest rank DIMM in
the blue DIMM slot and lower rank DIMM(s) in the black and white DIMM slots.
Many memory configurations are possible. For best results, follow Table 39 when populating 2133-MHz
DIMMs for Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 CPUs and Table 40 when populating 2400-MHz DIMMs for Intel Xeon E5-2600
v4 CPUs.
NOTE: These tables list only some recommended and suggested configurations.
There are numerous other possible configurations supported by Cisco. Cisco supports
all mixing and population configurations of the Cisco DIMMs as long as the mixing
does not violate the few fundamental rules noted in this document.

components.
2. Required if ordering the RAID controller as a spare or to replace damaged cables
Adding an Additional CPU (with CPU heat sink) or Replacing CPUs

All Cisco UCS two CPU socket-capable servers can be upgraded from having one to having two CPUs
configured or can also support replacement of the CPUs. You will need to order and install a heat sink when
adding any additional CPU to a server. Instructions for installing the new CPU or replacing CPUs and heat
sink can be found at the following link:
NOTE: Unlike previous generation servers, the C220 M4 has tool-less CPU sockets, so
no separate tools (such as pick n place tools) are required to add or replace CPUs.
See the section titled Replacing CPUs and Heatsinks.
Motherboard Lithium Battery

You can order a replacement motherboard battery. Installation instructions are found at this link:
See the section titled Replacing the Motherboard RTC Battery.
Thermal Grease (with syringe applicator) for CPU to Heatsink Seal

Thermal grease must be applied to the top of the CPU where it comes in contact with the heat sink. (a
grease syringe also ships with each CPU spare option kit). Instructions for applying thermal grease are found
at:
CAUTION: Use only the thermal grease specified for this server
(UCS-CPU-GREASE3=). This thermal grease comes in a white-tipped
syringe and is to be used only in the C220 M4 and C240 M4 servers. Other
servers use thermal grease in a blue-tipped syringe (UCS-CPU-GREASE=).
Thermal grease for other systems may have different thermal

conductivity properties and may cause overheating if used in the C220 M4
or C240 M4 servers.
DO NOT use thermal grease available for purchase at any commercial

electronics store. If these instructions are not followed, the CPU may
overheat and be destroyed.
NOTE: When you purchase a spare CPU, the thermal grease with syringe applicator
is included.
Air Baffle Replacement Kit

Air baffles are designed to direct airflow through the server to maintain server temperature at a safe
operating level. These baffles must always remain installed during server operation. The Air Baffle
Replacement Kit includes the air baffles needed for one UCS C220 M4 server.
CPU Heat Sink Cleaning Kit

The cleaning kit is used to remove the existing thermal compound from the bottom of the heat sink during
a CPU replacement process. Instructions for cleaning are found at the following link:
NOTE: When you purchase a spare CPU, the CPU cleaning kit is included.

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 42 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.
The fixed input cord connects to the power source from overhead or under-floor distribution. Your IT
equipment is then powered by PDU outlets in the rack using short, easy-to-manage power cords.
The C-series severs accept the zero-rack-unit (0RU) or horizontal PDU. See Figure 12 for one example of a
zero rack unit PDU.

KVM CABLE
The KVM cable provides a connection into the server, providing a DB9 serial connector, a VGA connector for
a monitor, and dual USB ports for a keyboard and mouse. With this cable, you can create a direct
connection to the operating system and the BIOS running on the server.
The KVM cable ordering information is listed in Table 44.
