Cisco UCS C24 M3 High-Density LFF Rack Server

CONFIGURING the SERVER

■ If you did not choose a PCIe RAID controller, from Table 7 you can select up to two PCIe

option cards for 1-CPU systems and up to five PCIe option cards for 2-CPU systems.

(2) One PCIe RAID controller

■ If you selected a PCIe RAID controller, you can select additional PCIe option cards listed in

Tab le 7 until all of the slots are filled, if desired. The PCIe cards plug into riser 1 and riser

Caveats

■ Only a single Cisco UCS 1225 Virtual Interface Card (VIC) card is supported and it must be

installed in the 3/4-length, full-height PCIe slot (slot 1) on riser 1, which is the only slot that

supports NCSI.

■ All PCIe cards will fit in any slot, except the Cisco 1225 VIC card, which must be installed in

the 3/4-length, full-height slot (slot 1) of riser 1. The Cisco 1225 VIC card must be plugged

into slot 1, which supports NCSI.

■ Additional considerations for the Cisco 1225 VIC card:

— Supports 10G SFP+ optical and copper twinax connections

— Supported only in PCIe slot 1 of this server. Slot 1 can operate while the server is in

standby power mode.

— Requires that the server has CIMC firmware version 1.4(6) or later installed. There is

a heartbeat LED on the top of the card that indicates when firmware is active.

— To use this card for UCS integration (UCSM mode) with Cisco UCS Manager 2.0(2) or

later, the minimum card-firmware and uboot image level is 2.0(2g).

■ To help ensure that your operating system is compatible with the card you have selected,

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.

NOTE: RAID controllers are always installed in half-height slots.
