CONFIGURING the SERVER CONFIGURING the SERVER Follow these steps to configure the Cisco UCS C240 M4 High-Density SFF Rack Server: 14 ■ STEP 1 VERIFY SERVER SKU, page 15 ■ STEP 2 SELECT RISER CARDS (OPTIONAL), page 16 ■ STEP 3 SELECT CPU(s), page 17 ■ STEP 4 SELECT MEMORY, page 19 ■ STEP 5 SELECT RAID CONFIGURATION, page 24 ■ STEP 6 SELECT HARD DISK DRIVES (HDDs) or SOLID STATE DRIVES (SSDs), page 30 ■ STEP 7 SELECT PCIe OPTION CARD(s), page 34 ■ STEP 8 ORDER OPTIONAL NETWORK CARD ACCESSORI
CONFIGURING the SERVER STEP 1 VERIFY SERVER SKU Select one server product ID (PID) from Table 2.
CONFIGURING the SERVER STEP 2 SELECT RISER CARDS (OPTIONAL) There are two optional riser cards, riser card 1 and 2. There are three options for riser card 1. Order one riser card 1 from Table 3 and one riser 2 card from Table 4. Riser card 1 is the one on the left when viewed from the back of the server and riser card 2 is on the right.
CONFIGURING the SERVER STEP 3 SELECT CPU(s) The standard CPU features are: ■ Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 series processor family CPUs ■ Intel C610 series chipset ■ Cache size of up to 45 MB Select CPUs The available CPUs are listed in Table 5. Table 5 Available Intel CPUs: E5-2600 v3 Series Processor Family CPUs Power (W) Cache Size (MB) Cores QPI Highest DDR4 DIMM Clock Support (MHz)1 2.30 145 45 18 9.6 GT/s 2133 E5-2698 v3 2.30 135 40 16 9.6 GT/s 2133 UCS-CPU-E52697D E5-2697 v3 2.
CONFIGURING the SERVER Approved Configurations (1) 1-CPU configurations: ■ Select any one CPU listed in Table 5. (2) 2-CPU Configurations: ■ Select two identical CPUs from any one of the rows of Table 5 on page 17. Caveats ■ 18 You can select either one processor or two identical processors.
CONFIGURING the SERVER STEP 4 SELECT MEMORY The standard memory features are: ■ ■ Figure 6 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 Figure 6.
CONFIGURING the SERVER 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 6. 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.
CONFIGURING the SERVER (2) 1-CPU configuration with memory mirroring: ■ Total Number of DIMMs Select 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12 identical DIMMs. The DIMMs will be placed by the factory as shown in the following table.
CONFIGURING the SERVER ■ Select the memory mirroring option (N01-MMIRROR) as shown in Table 6 on page 20. 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 7 for details.
CONFIGURING the SERVER 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.
CONFIGURING the SERVER STEP 5 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.
CONFIGURING the SERVER Select RAID Options Select as follows (these choices are dependent on the backplane used (24-drive, 16-drive, or 8-drive backplane)): ■ For the 8-drive backplane system only, select the embedded software RAID 5 key upgrade option for internal drives (see Table 8), or ■ For all systems, select the Cisco 12G SAS modular RAID controller for internal drives plus optional flash-backed write cache (FBWC) (see Table 9 on page 26), or ■ For all systems, select dual controllers: — One C

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Memory Population Rules When considering the memory configuration of your server, 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.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL DIMM Population Order Populate the DIMMs for a CPU according to Table 37.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL 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.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Additional DIMM Populations The list in Table 39 is not a complete list of all supported DIMM populations, but highlights common configuration options.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL RAID Details The available RAID configurations are shown in this section.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL 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 10.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Riser Card Configuration and Options The three riser card 1 options are shown in Table 40. The number of PCIe card slots and connectors for SATA boot drives depends on which option is selected for riser 1. The riser card 2 slot assignments are fixed and are shown in Table 41 on page 71.
