The B460 M4 base server:
■
■
Includes two full-width Scalable M4 Blade Modules and a Scalability Connector that interconnects the two Blade Modules. \
Does not include CPUs, memory DIMMs, SSDs, HDDs, or mezzanine cards.
NOTE: Use the steps on the following pages to configure the server with the components that you want to include.
NOTE: The B460 M4 server consists of two Scalable M4 Blade Modules and a
Scalability Connector that cross-connects the two Blade Modules. The Blade Module on the bottom is the “Master” and the Blade Module on the top is the “Slave”. The optional USB flash and Flexible Flash cards must be mounted in the “Master” Blade
Module of B460 M4 server; if they are in the “Slave” Blade Module, they are not recognized and do not operate.
NOTE: If the B460 M4 server is mixed with other full-width or half-width blades in the chassis, the B460 M4 must occupy the bottom two full-width slots in the chassis.
The chassis should be loaded with the largest server on the bottom, starting with
B460 M4 on the bottom, followed by full-width blades above, and the half-width blades at the very top of the chassis.
To upgrade from a B260 M4 server to a B460 M4 server:
■
■
Your current B260 M4 server must be configured with two identical Intel® Xeon® E7-8800 v2 or two identical E7-4800 v2 series processor family CPUs. A B260 M4 with E7-2800 v2 CPUs cannot be upgraded.
Order the upgrade kit (PID UCSB-EX-M4-1E-U), which consists of the following:
— One Scalable M4 Blade Module
— One Scalability Connector

CONFIGURING the SERVER
■
Configure the new Scalable M4 Blade Module with two Intel Xeon E7-8800 v2 or E7-4800 v2 series processor family CPU that are identical to the two processors in the B260 M4 server to be upgraded.
NOTE: The two CPUs in the original B260 M4 server and the two CPUs in the Scalable
M4 Blade Module from the upgrade kit must be identical.
■
■
Configure both B260 server chassis with like kind DIMMs. All DIMMs must be either RDIMMs or
LRDIMMs.
Remove the Scalability Terminator from your original B260 M4. Install the new Scalable M4
Blade Module from the upgrade kit in the chassis slot above or below. Then install the new
Scalability Connector into the front of both Blade Module, connecting them together. You now have a B460 M4 server, consisting of two Scalable M4 Blade Modules ganged together by the Scalability Connector.

Caveats
■
Memory Mode. System speed is dependent on how many DIMMs are populated per channel, the CPU DIMM speed support, and the BIOS memory mode. The BIOS default memory mode is performance mode. However, the BIOS can be changed to support lockstep mode.
— Memory Performance Mode. In this mode, the main memory channel from the CPU to the memory buffer runs at double the clock rate of each of the two memory subchannels from the buffer to the DIMMs, and each DIMM subchannel is accessed sequentially. For example, if the CPU channel clock speed is 2667 MHz, each of the
DIMM subchannels operates at 1333 MHz. For this reason, performance mode is referred to as 2:1. Performance mode does not provide data protection, but can yield up to 1.5 times the performance of lockstep mode and is the best choice for high throughput requirements.
— Memory Lockstep Mode. In this mode, the main memory channel from the CPU to the memory buffer runs at the same clock rate of each of the two memory subchannels from the buffer to the DIMMs, and both DIMM subchannels are accessed simultaneously for a double-width access. For example, if the CPU channel clock speed is 1600 MHz, each of the DIMM subchannels operates at 1600 MHz. For this reason, lockstep mode is referred to as 1:1. Memory lockstep mode provides protection against both single-bit and multi-bit errors. Memory lockstep lets two memory channels work as a single channel, moving a data word two channels wide and providing eight bits of memory correction.

CONFIGURING the SERVER
NOTE: For environments with 6100 Series Fabric Interconnects, you must configure only the VIC 1240/1280 adapters (1200 Series) and not 1340/1380 (1300 Series).
From an I/O connectivity standpoint, configure only the VIC 1200 Series with the
6100 Series Fabric Interconnects.
NOTE: There are three slots on the server. One is a dedicated slot for the VIC
1340/1240 adapter only and the other two accommodate Cisco adapters or Cisco
Storage Accelerator adapters as well as other options.
adapters plug into each of the three slots. Only the VIC 1340 or 1240 adapter plugs into the VIC 1340/1240 adapter slot. All other adapters plug into the other two mezzanine adapter slots.
NOTE: You must have each Scalable M4 Blade Module configured with 2 CPUs to support cards that plug into either of the two mezzanine connectors. The VIC 1340 and 1240 adapters are supported on both 1- and 2-CPU configured systems.

CONFIGURING the SERVER
STEP 7 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 14 Trusted Platform Module
Product ID (PID)
UCSX-TPM1-001

Trusted Platform Module
NOTE: The B460 M4 requires two TPMs, one in each of the two Blade Modules.
NOTE: The module used in this server conforms to TPM v1.2/1.3, as defined by the
Trusted Computing Group (TCG).

CONFIGURING the SERVER
STEP 11 CHOOSE SERVICE and SUPPORT LEVEL
A variety of service options are available, as described in this section.
NOTE: Because the B460 M4 server is structurally two Scalable M4 Blade Modules connected by means of the Scalability Connector, separate support for each of the two Scalable M4 Blade Modules in the B460 M4 server configuration is automatically purchased when you order support for the B460 M4 server. The online ordering tool enforces that the service level is always the same (for example, SNTP) for both
Scalable M4 Blade Modules. If you change the service level, the new service level is applied to both Scalable M4 Blade Modules so that they remain the same.
In addition, there are no separate, single-support SKUs for the B460 M4 server or for the Scalability Connector.

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.

VIC 1340/1240 and Port Expander
Adapter slot 1 is dedicated to the VIC 1340/1240 adapter, and no other adapter card can be installed in this slot. There are two groups of four ports on the VIC 1340/1240:
■
■
Two ports of the first group and two ports of the second group are wired through the UCS
5108 Blade Server chassis to Fabric Extender A and Fabric Extender B.
The other two ports of each group are wired to adapter slot 2. The VIC 1340/1240 adapter senses the type of adapter installed in adapter slot 2. If a Port Expander is installed in adapter slot 2, the four 10G KR ports between the adapters are used for port expansion; otherwise they are unused.
With the Port Expander installed, there are up to eight (depending on the Fabric Extender installed) 10 Gb network interfaces, as represented in
.
