OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
The Cisco® UCS C24 M3 Rack Server combines economics and a density-optimized feature set from entry level enterprise to SMB with applications such as scale out, virtualization, IT and web infrastructure, VPN servers, file/print servers, and appliances.
Building on the success of the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers, the Cisco UCS C24 M3 rack server and the
Cisco 1225 VIC further extend the capabilities of the Cisco UCS portfolio in a 2 RU form factor with the
Intel® Xeon® E5-2400 v2 and E5-2400 series processor family CPUs, which deliver the best combination of performance, flexibility, and efficiency gains. In addition, the Cisco UCS C24 M3 offers up to 12 DIMM slots,
12 disk drives, 5 PCIe slots, and two 1 Gigabit Ethernet LAN-on-motherboard (LOM) ports to provide exceptional levels of internal storage and price/performance.

CONFIGURING the SERVER
Select DIMMs
Select the memory configuration. The available memory DIMMs are listed in
.
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.

Caveats
■
■
■
■
■
Do not mix 1333-MHz with 1600-MHz DIMMs
Do not mix DIMM types (RDIMM, LRDIMM, or UDIMM)
Do not select more than two different sizes of DIMMs (only two PID sizes allowed)
For the 2-CPU configuration, install a minimum of 2 DIMMs (one per CPU).
If you use different sizes of DIMMs, the quantity of each size of DIMM must be even (2, 4, or
6). For example, 4 UCS-MR-1X082RY-A DIMMs and 6 UCS-MR-1X162RY-A DIMMs. Also, the sum of all PIDs must adhere to the maximum quantity rule of 12 DIMMs for 2-CPU systems.
14 Cisco UCS C24 M3 High-Density LFF Rack Server
CONFIGURING the SERVER
■ By default, all DIMMs run at 1.35 V, which yields 1333-MHz memory speeds. To run the memory DIMMS at 1600 MHz, you need to go into the BIOS or set the policy with UCSM
(service profile) to run in Performance Mode. This forces the DIMMs to operate at 1.5 V and yields 1600-MHz speeds, provided:
— The DIMMs are 1600-MHz devices
— The CPUs chosen support 1600-MHz operation.
NOTE: 32 GB LRDIMMs run at a maximum speed of 1333 MHz for 1 DPC and 2 DPC even though their specified maximum speed is 1600 MHz.
NOTE: In this server, 4 GB UDIMMs run slower than their specified maximum speed of
1600 MHz. In addition, the following rules apply to UDIMMs:
■
■
1 DPC: 1333 MHz is supported at 1.35 V and 1.5 V
2 DPC: 1066 MHz is supported at 1.35 V and 1.5 V

Caveats
■
■
■
For 1-CPU systems
— PCIe slots 3, 4, and 5 are not supported.
— The only supported RAID option for a 12 HDD backplane system is a PCIe RAID controller, and the default slot is slot 2; however, you can go into the BIOS and change the option ROM (OPROM) setting to enable a different slot for an internal drive RAID controller.
— If a PCIe RAID controller is not installed, both slots 1 and 2 may be used for any other PCIe expansion cards.
For 2-CPU configurations:
— All PCIe slots (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are supported).
— The only supported RAID option for a 12 HDD backplane system is a PCIe RAID controller, and the default slot is slot 4; however, you can go into the BIOS and change the option ROM (OPROM) setting to enable a different slot for an internal drive RAID controller. Any remaining slot can then be used for a PCIe expansion card.
— If a PCIe RAID controller is not installed, all of the PCIe slots may be used for any other PCIe expansion cards.
You can choose an optional RAID configuration (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, or 10), which is preconfigured at the factory. The RAID level you choose must be an available RAID choice for

■
■ the controller selected. RAID levels 50 and 60 are supported, depending on the RAID controller selected, although they are not available as configuration options
Note that only a single Cisco 1225 Virtual Interface Card (VIC) card is supported and it must be installed in the 3/4-length, full-height PCIe slot (slot 1) on riser 1, which is the only slot that supports NCSI. So take this into account when populating RAID controller cards.
You can choose one PCIe RAID controller.
The 12-drive backplane system supports a maximum of one internal drive RAID controller.

NOTE: RAID controllers are always installed in half-height slots.
Caveats
■
■
■
■
Only a single Cisco UCS 1225 Virtual Interface Card (VIC) card is supported and it must be installed in the 3/4-length, full-height PCIe slot (slot 1) on riser 1, which is the only slot that supports NCSI.
All PCIe cards will fit in any slot, except the Cisco 1225 VIC card, which must be installed in the 3/4-length, full-height slot (slot 1) of riser 1. The Cisco 1225 VIC card must be plugged into slot 1, which supports NCSI.
Additional considerations for the Cisco 1225 VIC card:
— Supports 10G SFP+ optical and copper twinax connections
— Supported only in PCIe slot 1 of this server. Slot 1 can operate while the server is in standby power mode.
— 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 (UCSM mode) with Cisco UCS Manager 2.0(2) or later, the minimum card-firmware and uboot image level is 2.0(2g).
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 7 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.
Cisco UCS C24 M3 High-Density LFF Rack Server 23

STEP 9 ORDER POWER SUPPLIES
The C24 M3 server accommodates two power supplies. A lightly loaded server can operate from one 650 W power supply. A fully loaded server might need to be powered with two 450 W or two
650 W power supplies (see Table 12 ).
Prior to making a power supply selection, the UCS Power Calculator should be run to determine the right size power supply for your server configuration. The UCS Power Calculator can be found at the following link: https://mainstayadvisor.com/Go/Cisco/Cisco-UCS-Power-Calculator.aspx

CONFIGURING the SERVER
STEP 11 ORDER A TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE
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 14 .

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 23 .
NOTE: Cisco does not offer a certified drive destruction service as part of this service.

Physical Layout
Each CPU has three DIMM channels:
■
■
CPU1 has channels A, B, and C
CPU2 has channels D, E, and F
Each DIMM channel has two banks: Bank 1 and Bank 2. The blue-colored DIMM banks are for Bank 1 and the black-colored are for Bank 2.
As an example, DIMM slots A1, B1, and C1 belong to Bank 1, while A2, B2, and C2 belong to Bank 2.
top (channels A, B, and C) are associated with CPU 1, while the DIMM slots on the bottom (channels D, E, and F) are associated with CPU 2. Bank 1 slots (blue) are populated before Bank 2 slots (black).

Memory Population Rules
When considering the memory configuration of your server, you should consider the following items:
■
■
■
■
■
■
■
Each channel has two DIMM slots (for example, channel A = slots A1 and A2).
— Each channel can operate with one or two 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, D1, B1, E1, C1, F1
— Fill black slots in the channels second: A2, D2, B2, E2, C2, F2
Any DIMM installed in a DIMM socket for which the CPU is absent is not recognized.
For optimum performance, populate at least one DIMM per memory channel per CPU.
When populating DIMM slots, multiples of 6 DIMMs are best for achieving optimum performance, since there are 3 memory channels per CPU socket and 2 CPUs must be populated.
At 1 DPC and 2 DPC, 1600-MHz DIMMS will run at 1600 MHz (provided the CPU supports 1600
MHz DIMMs) and 1333-MHz DIMMs will run at 1333 MHz.
When mixing DIMMs, the following rules need to be followed:
— When mixing DIMMs of different densities (sizes), populate DIMMs with the highest density first. For example, if you have to mix 16 GB with 8 GB DIMMs, populate 16
GB DIMMs in blue slots (or bank 1) and then 8 GB in black slots (or bank 2).
— When mixing DIMMs with different ranks, populate DIMMs with the higher rank first.
For example, populate 16 GB 2R or 8 GB 2R before 4 GB 1R DIMMs.
— DIMMs of different sizes (4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB) can be mixed within a channel. Total memory size in each single channel should be the same. For example, if you are mixing 4 GB and 8 GB DIMMs to achieve total 72 GB (6x8 GB + 6x4 GB) for a server, then populate blue slots with 8 GB DIMMs and black slots with 4 GB DIMMs and total memory size should be 12 GB for each of the 3 channels for both CPUs.
— When mixing DIMMs, all the DIMMs in the server must be the same speed.

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL
Recommended Memory Population
This section explains the recommended DIMM population order rules for the C24 M3 server.
■
■
■
■
All DIMMs must be DDR3 DIMMs.
Mixing of Registered and Unbuffered DIMMs is not allowed per platform.
Mixing of ECC and non-ECC DIMMs is not allowed per platform.
Do not mix 1333-MHz DIMMs with 1600-MHz DIMMs.

Notes . . .
1. For 48 GB, there are two possible sweet spot configurations:
6 x 8 GB occupies 1 DPC, so there is a possibility of increasing total memory size in the system (beyond 48 GB) by going to 2 DPC while still maintaining memory speed at 1600 MHz.
If there is no plan to increase total memory size in the system (beyond 48 GB), then 12 x 4GB is more price effective at this time.
2. For 96 GB, there are two possible optimal configurations:
6 x 16GB occupies 1 DPC, so there is a possibility of increasing total memory size in the system (beyond 96 GB) by going to 2 DPC while maintaining the maximum memory speed at 1600 MHz.
12 x 8GB gives the peak performance for this configuration and is recommended if there is no plan of increasing the total memory in the future.

Low-Voltage DIMM Considerations
The C24 M3 server can be ordered with low-voltage (1.35 V) DIMMs only. Note the following considerations:
■
■
■
Low-voltage DIMMs within the server must have the identical manufacturer, type, speed, and size.
Low-voltage DIMMs and standard-voltage DIMMs can be mixed in the same server. Note that this causes the system BIOS to default to standard-voltage operation (Performance Mode).
That is, the server cannot operate in Power Saving Mode unless all DIMMs are low-voltage
DIMMs.
CPUs that have a maximum memory frequency less than 1333 MHz support low-voltage
DIMMs operating in Power Saving Mode only, and do not support Performance Mode.

Notes . . .
1. PCIe RAID is the only RAID option available.
2. If you want to boot from a device other than the 9270CV-8i, 9240-8i, or 9220-8i MegaRAID PCIe cards, you can leave the cards installed. Just disable the OPROM for their slots, and the system will boot even with the cards installed.
3. A = available slot, O = occupied slot, U = unsupported slot (slots 3, 4, and 5 are not supported in 1-CPU systems)
4. The OPROM is enabled for the default PCIe RAID controller slots. If you want to enable a different slot, you must go into the BIOS and enable the OPROM for the desired slot and disable the OPROM for the default PCIe slot (see
).

RAID Option ROM (OPROM) Settings
The server contains an Option ROM (OPROM) for the PCIe slots. The server has a finite amount of option
ROM with which it can boot up devices. Go into the BIOS and disable the OPROM on the PCIe slots not used for booting so that resources are available for the slots that are used for booting. An example OPROM BIOS screen is shown in
.

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.
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) PDU. See Figure 10 ).
