External Features Overview
The figures in this chapter show an overview of external server features.
(Internal server features are illustrated in Figure 3-5 on page 3-9.)
The server is orderable in two different versions, each with one of two different front panel/backplane
configurations:
•
Cisco UCS C220 (small form-factor (SFF) drives, with 8-drive backplane.
Holds up to eight 2.5-inch hard drives or solid state drives.
•
Cisco UCS C220 (large form factor (LFF) drives, with 4-drive backplane).
Holds up to four 3.5-inch hard drives.

Summary of Server Features
Table 1-1 lists the features of the server.
.
Table 1-1
Cisco UCS C220 Server Features
Chassis
One rack-unit (1RU) chassis.
Processors
Two Intel Xeon E5-2600 Series processors.
Memory
The server provides 16 DIMM1 sockets on the motherboard. This provides a
possible total of up to 512 GB of industry-standard DDR32 memory.
Multi-bit error
protection
This server supports multi-bit error protection.
Baseboard
management
BMC, running Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) firmware.
Cooling
Five hot-swappable fan modules for front-to-rear cooling.
PCIe I/O
Two horizontal PCIe3 expansion slots on risers.
See Replacing a PCIe Card, page 3-36 for slot specifications.
InfiniBand
The bus slots in this server support the InfiniBand architecture.
Depending on your CIMC settings, the CIMC can be accessed through the
1-Gb Ethernet dedicated management port, the dual 1-Gb Ethernet LOM ports, or a
Cisco virtual interface card.

•
•
•
•
•
•
One 1-Gb Ethernet dedicated management port
Two 1-Gb Base-T Ethernet ports
One RS-232 serial port (RJ-45 connector)
One 15-pin VGA4 connector
Two USB5 2.0 connectors
One front-panel KVM connector that is used with the included KVM cable,
which provides two USB, one VGA, and one serial connector.
WoL
The 1-Gb Base-T Ethernet LAN ports support the wake-on-LAN (WoL) standard.
Power
Up to two power supplies, both either 450W or 650W each.
Redundant as 1+1. Do not mix power supply types in the server.
See Power Specifications, page A-3 for more information on power supplies.
ACPI
This server supports the advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) 4.0
standard.
Storage
Drives are installed into front-panel drive bays that provide hot-pluggable access.
There are two versions of the server front panel and backplane:
•
