Cisco UCS C240 M3 - Low-Voltage DIMM Considerations; RAID Summary

Cisco UCS C240 M3 High-Density Rack Server (Small Form Factor Disk Drive Model)

Low-Voltage DIMM Considerations
The C240 M3 server can be ordered with dual-voltage (1.35 V) DIMMs. Note the following considerations:
■ Low-voltage DIMMs within the server must have the identical manufacturer, type, speed,
and size.
■ Low-voltage DIMMs and standard-voltage DIMMs can be mixed in the same server. Note that
this causes the system BIOS to default to standard-voltage operation (Performance Mode).
That is, the server cannot operate in Power Saving Mode unless all DIMMs are low-voltage
DIMMs.
■ CPUs that have a maximum memory frequency less than 1333 MHz support low-voltage
DIMMs operating in Power Saving Mode only, and do not support Performance Mode.
RAID Summary
The C240 M3 SFF server can be ordered with a 16-drive backplane without a SAS expander or with a 24-drive
backplane with a SAS expander.
■ ROM5 and ROM 55 embedded RAID upgrade options support up to 8 drives with the 16-drive
backplane with no SAS expander and are not supported for the 24-drive backplane with the
SAS expander.
■ Mezzanine cards (UCSC-RAID-11-C240 and UCSC-RAID-MZ-240) support up to 8 drives for the
16-drive backplane with no SAS expander, and up to 16 drives for the 24-drive backplane
with the SAS expander
■ 9266-8i and 9266CV-8i PCIe cards support up to 8 drives each for the 16-drive backplane with
no SAS expander, and up to 24 drives for 24-drive backplane with SAS expander

Notes . . .
a. Configurations for optimum memory performance are highlighted in yellow.
NOTE: If you do not select a mezzanine card, a plug-in PCIe RAID card, or one of the
embedded RAID upgrade options, you will have an embedded SATA-only RAID
controller that supports up to four SATA-only drives (RAID 0, 1, 10).
