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

CONFIGURING the SERVER
Approved Configurations
(1) No PCIe RAID controller
If you did not choose a PCIe RAID controller (for example, you are using embedded RAID or a
mezzanine RAID controller), you can select up to three PCie option cards listed in
Table 11
for a 1-CPU system or up to five for a 2-CPU system.
(2) One PCIe RAID controller card
If you selected one PCIe RAID controller, you can select up to two of the optional PCIe cards
listed in
Table 11 for a 1-CPU system or up to four for a 2-CPU system.
(3) Two PCIe RAID controllers
If you selected two PCIe RAID controllers (only supported in 16 HDD backplane 2-CPU
systems), you can select three of the optional PCIe cards listed in
Table 11.
Caveats
For 1-CPU systems:
Only the three PCIe slots on PCIe riser 1 are available. The three slots are full-height
PCIe slots 1, 2, and 3 (see
Figure 3 on page 7). These are the three slots on the
right when looking at the rear of the server.
Neither the PCIe riser 2 (with the two PCIe slots numbered PCIe 4 and PCIe 5, at the
left when viewing the server from the rear) nor the mezzanine card are supported
on 1-CPU systems.
Only a single VIC card (the half-height Cisco VIC 1225 PCIe card) may be installed on
a 1-CPU system, and it must be installed in slot 2 of riser 1. See
Table 1 on page 8
for the slot descriptions.
