Server Nodes
The Cisco UCS S3260 system consists of one or two server nodes, each with two CPUs, DIMM memory of
128, 256, or 512 GB, and a RAID card up to 4 GB cache or a pass-through controller. The server nodes can
be one of the following:
• Cisco UCS S3260 M3 Server Node
• Cisco UCS S3260 M4 Server Node—This node might include an optional I/O expander module that
attaches to the top of the server node.
Disk Slots
The Cisco UCS S3260 chassis has 4 rows of 14 disk slots on the HDD motherboard and 4 additional disk
slots on the HDD expansion tray. The following image shows the disk arrangement for the 56 top-accessible,
hot swappable 3.5-inch 6 TB or 4 TB 7200 rpm NL-SAS HDD drives. A disk slot has two SAS ports and
each is connected a SAS expander in the chassis.
