OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW

The Cisco® UCS C220 M4 SFF 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 big data to collaboration.

The enterprise-class UCS C220 M4 SFF server extends the capabilities of Cisco’s Unified Computing System portfolio in a 1U form factor with the addition of the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 series processor family that deliver significant performance and efficiency gains. In addition, the UCS C220 M4 SFF server provides 24

DIMM slots, up to 8 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). These features combine to provide outstanding levels of internal memory and storage expandability along with exceptional performance.

The Cisco UCS C220 M4 SFF 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.

Caveats

■

■

You can select either one processor or two identical processors.

For optimal performance, select DIMMs with the highest clock speed for a given processor

(see


). If you select DIMMs whose speeds are lower or higher than that shown in the tables, suboptimal performance will result.

DIMMs

— Clock speed: 2133 MHz

— Ranks per DIMM: 1, 2, or 4

— 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 channel, as shown in

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 4

.

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 5

for details.

Notes . . .

1. 2133-MHz DIMMs are the only offered and supported DIMMs for the C220 M4 server

■

■

■

■

■

■

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

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.

Pairs of DIMMs (A1/B1, A2/B2, etc) MUST be the exact same (same PID, rev, DIMM loading order)

Cisco memory from previous generation servers (DDR3) is not compatible with this server

For more information regarding memory, see

CPUs and DIMMs, page 52

STEP 4 SELECT RAID CONFIGURATION

NOTE: If you do not select a Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID controller or the embedded software RAID 5 key upgrade, you will have two SATA-only RAID controllers that support up to two sets of four SATA-only drives (RAID 0, 1).

The embedded RAID controller hub is split into two controllers, SATA and sSATA

(secondary SATA). These two controllers are seen as separate RAID controllers in the

Cisco IMC interface and are configurable separately. For more details, see

Embedded SATA RAID: Two SATA Controllers, page 59

.

NOTE: When creating each RAID volume, follow these guidelines:

■

Use the same capacity for each drive in each RAID volume

■

Use either all SAS drives or all SATA drives in each RAID volume

■

Use either all HDDs or all SSDs in each RAID volume

■

The embedded SATA only RAID controllers have two ports and each port can control 4 drives, for 8 drives total. However, each set of 4 SATA drives for a port must be in separate RAID volumes. You cannot mix drives across ports to create a

RAID volume. For more details, see

Embedded SATA RAID: Two SATA

Controllers, page 59

.

NOTE: The number of RAID groups (virtual drives) supported per controller is as follows:

■

■

Embedded RAID = 8

Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID controller = 64

The RAID controller choices are:

(1) Embedded Software RAID 5 Key Upgrade (on motherboard)

NOTE: The RAID configuration options listed in


are not available if you choose the embedded software RAID 5 key upgrade (in this case, you must configure RAID yourself using separate software).

(2) Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID Controller

The C220 M4 server has a dedicated RAID controller slot on the motherboard that accommodates the Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID controller for internal HDDs/SSDs. Cisco can provide factory-configured RAID setting options depending on the RAID controller chosen and the number of HDDs/SSDs ordered. Factory-configured RAID level options are listed with each RAID card description.



Select RAID Options

■

■

Select one of the following:

■

Embedded software RAID 5 key upgrade option for internal drives (see

Table 6

), or

Cisco 12G SAS modular RAID controller for internal drives plus optional flash-backed write cache (FBWC) (see


), or

Dual controllers:

— One Cisco 12G SAS modular RAID controller for internal drives plus optional flash-backed write cache (FBWC), and

— One Cisco 9300-8E 12G SAS controller for external drives

(see


).

NOTE: The Cisco 12G SAS modular RAID controller can be ordered with or without an optional FBWC.

The FBWC option backs up the RAID controller write cache.

The

FBWC is available in 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB sizes. See


for details.

NOTE: For all valid combinations of embedded RAID and internal/external RAID

controller combinations, see

RAID Details, page 57

.

Table 6

shows the product ID for the C220 M4 server entry-level RAID solution. This RAID option is accomplished with embedded software that supports a limited number of drives, operating systems, and virtualized environments. For a more comprehensive enterprise RAID solution, choose the Cisco 12G SAS

Caveats

■

■

■

A maximum of one Cisco 12G SAS 9300-8e can be installed, and it can be installed only in slot 1. Note that a Storage Accelerator also can only be installed in slot 1. Therefore, the system can support either one storage accelerator card or one Cisco 12G SAS 9300-8e, but not both at the same time.

For the Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID controller, 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, although they are not available as configuration options.

A system supports up to eight SATA-only drives if no embedded software RAID 5 key upgrade controller or Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID controller is chosen.

■

■

■

A maximum of one storage accelerator card is supported and it must be installed in slot 1 only. Note that the Cisco 12G SAS 9300-8e also can only be installed in slot 1. Therefore, the system can support either one storage accelerator card or one Cisco 12G SAS 9300-8e, but not both at the same time.

For 1-CPU systems:

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

— Only a single plug-in 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

— Only a single plug-in PCIe VIC card is supported and it must be installed in slot 1 (the full height slot). However, in addition to the one PCIe VIC card, you can also choose an mLOM VIC card.

— If any of the Storage Accelerator cards are installed, they can be installed only in slot 1.

Other considerations for the Cisco VIC 1225/1227/1225T cards:

— VIC 1225 and VIC 1227 Supports 10G SFP+ optical and copper twinax connections

— VIC 1225T Supports RJ45 Category 6 or better twisted pair cable connections

— The server supports installation of one PCIe Cisco VIC 1225/1225Tcard and it is supported only in PCIe slot 1.

— 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.

To help ensure that your operating system is compatible with the card you have selected, or to see additional cards that have been qualified to work with the UCS C220 M4 server, but are not sold on the Cisco pricelist, check the Hardware Compatibility List at this URL:

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.

Choose Optional Twinax Cables

Table 11

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.

STEP 11 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 18

.

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 28

.

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 7

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 7 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 31

DIMMs in the same channel (for example, A1, A2, and A3) can have different capacities.

Do not mix LRDIMMs with RDIMMs

For best performance, DIMMs in the same slot (for example, A1, B1, C1,

D1) should have the same capacity.

Notes . . .

1. Although you can have different DIMM capacities in the same slot, this will result in less than optimal performance. For optimal performance, all DIMMs in the same slot should be identical.

2. Only 2133-MHz DIMMs are currently available for the C220 M4 server.

Recommended Memory Configuration

This section explains the recommended DIMM population order rules for the C220 M4 server.

■

■

■

■

All DIMMs must be DDR4 DIMMs.

Do not mix:

— DIMMs with different clock rates in a channel

— RDIMMs and LRDIMMs

— ECC and non-ECC DIMMs

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 33

when populating 2133-MHz

DIMMs for Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 CPUs.

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

Figure 8

.

Figure 8 Example BIOS Screen for OPROM



Embedded SATA RAID: Two SATA Controllers

The embedded SATA RAID controller hub is split into two controllers, SATA and sSATA (secondary SATA).

These two controllers are seen as separate RAID controllers in the Cisco IMC interface and are configurable separately.

■

■

The first SATA controller controls drives 1–4; the secondary sSATA controller controls drives 5–8.

When configuring RAID groups, you cannot create a group that spans more than four drives.

■

The first SATA controller can control a RAID group of up to four drives, consisting only of drives 1–4.

■

The secondary sSATA controller can control a RAID group of up to four drives, consisting only of drives 5–8. See

Figure 9

.

■

Each controller is listed separately in the BIOS. You can select the boot order of the controllers in the BIOS (use the Boot Options tab in the BIOS Setup Utility).

Note the following considerations:

■

■

■

■

The default setting for this embedded controller hub is SATA RAID 0, 1, and 10 support for up to eight SATA drives (in two groups of four drives).

You can upgrade this to support to SATA RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support for up to eight SATA drives (in two groups of four drives) by installing a RAID 5 key module on the motherboard.

When you order the server with this embedded controller, the controller is enabled in the BIOS.

You cannot downgrade from using a HW RAID controller card to using the SW RAID embedded controller.


59


To Create a RAID Group

(1) While the server is booting, wait for the prompt and press function key F2 as shown in

Figure 10

.

Figure 10 Function Key F2 Prompt

In a few seconds, you will see the screen that allows you to set up a RAID group for the primary

SATA controller (see

Figure 11

).

Adding an Additional CPU (with CPU heat sink)

All Cisco UCS two CPU socket-capable servers can be upgraded from having one to having two CPUs configured. You will need to order and install a heat sink when adding any additional CPU to a server.

Instructions for installing the new CPU and heat sink can be found at the following link:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C220M4/install/C220M4.html

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.

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 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 15

).

Thermal Grease (with syringe applicator) for CPU to Heatsink Seal

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.
