Cisco UCS C220 Server Features (continued)

 

 

 

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-3for more information on power supplies.

 

 

 

Cooling

 

Five hot-swappable fan modules for front-to-rear cooling.

 

 

 

PCIe I/O

 

Two horizontal PCIe5 expansion slots on risers.

 

 

See Replacing a PCIe Card, page 3-33for slot specifications.

 

 

 

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:

 

 

• Small Form Factor—The server can hold up to eight 2.5-inch SAS6 or SATA7

 

 

hard drives or solid state drives.

 

 

• Large Form Factor—The server can hold up to four 3.5-inch SAS or SATA hard

 

 

drives.

 

 

The server also contains one internal USB 2.0 port on the motherboard that you can

 

 

use with a USB thumb drive for additional storage.

 

 

 

Cisco Flexible

 

The server can be ordered with an optional Cisco Flexible Flash drive (SD card).

Flash drives

 

This drive is pre-loaded with four virtual drives. The four virtual drives contain,

 

 

 

 

respectively, the Cisco Server Configuration Utility, the Cisco Host Upgrade Utility,

 

 

the Cisco C-Series server drivers set, and a blank virtual drive on which you can

 

 

install an OS or a hypervisor (see also Replacing a Cisco Flexible Flash Card,

 

 

page 3-38).

 

 

 

Disk

 

For a list of supported RAID controller options, see RAID Controller

Management

 

Considerations, page C-1.

(RAID)

 

 

 

 

 

RAID Backup

 

There is one mounting point inside the chassis that can be used for a RAID backup

 

 

unit when using an LSI MegaRAID card. This unit can be either of the following:

 

 

• The optional LSI BBU that can be used with LSI MegaRAID cards.

 

 

• The SuperCap Power Module that can be used with LSI MegaRAID-CV cards.

 

 

 

Video

 

Resolution up to 1600x1200, 16bpp at 60 Hz. Up to 256 MB of video memory.

 

 

 

1.DIMM = dual inline memory module

2.DDR3 = double data rate, type 3

3.VGA = video graphics array

4.USB = universal serial bus

5.PCIe = peripheral component interconnect express

6.SAS = serial attached SCSI

7.SATA = serial advanced technology attachment
