Cisco UCS C240 M4 High-Density Rack Server (Small Form Factor Disk Drive Model)

CONFIGURING the SERVER
— Only a single plug-in PCIe VIC card may be installed on a 1-CPU system, and it must
be installed in slot 2 of riser 1. You can order an mLOM VIC card to be installed in
the mLOM slot internal to the chassis and thus have two VIC cards in operation at
the same time. See
Table 13 on page 34 for the selection of plug-in and mLOM VIC
cards. See also Tabl e 1 on page 10 and Riser Card Configuration and Options,
page 70 for the PCIe slot physical descriptions.
— Storage Accelerator and Cisco 12G SAS 9300-8e cards can be installed only in riser 1
(slots 1, 2, or 3).
■ For 2-CPU systems:
— Depending on the riser 1 option chosen, up to six PCIe slots are available, three on
PCIe riser 1 (PCIe slots 1, 2, and 3) and three on PCIe riser 2 (PCIe slots 4, 5, and 6).
— All of the slots are full-height.
— Two plug-in PCIe VIC cards can be installed in 2-CPU systems, using slots 2 or 5. In
addition, you can order an mLOM VIC card, which is installed in the mLOM slot inside
the chassis and thus have three VIC cards in operation at the same time. See
Table 13 on page 34 for the selection of plug-in and mLOM VIC cards. See also
Table 1 on page 10 and Riser Card Configuration and Options, page 70 for the
PCIe slot physical descriptions.
— If GPUs are installed in slots 2 and 5, the NCSI capability automatically switches over
to slots 1 and 4. Therefore, Cisco PCIe VICs can be installed in slots 1 and 4 if GPUs
are installed in slots 2 and 5.
— Storage Accelerator and Cisco 12G SAS 9300-8e cards can be installed only in riser 1
(slots 1, 2, or 3).
■ Other considerations for the Cisco VIC 1225/1227/1225T cards:
— VIC 1225 and VIC 1227 Supports 10G SFP+ optical and copper twinax connections
— VIC 1225T Supports RJ45 Category 6 or better twisted pair cable connections
— The server supports installation of one PCIe Cisco VIC 1225/1225Tcard and it is
supported only in PCIe slot 1.
— For the Cisco UCS VIC1225, requires that the server has CIMC firmware version 1.4(6)
or later installed and VIC firmware of 2.1(0) or later. For the Cisco UCS VIC1225T,
requires that the server has CIMC firmware version 1.5(1) or later installed and VIC
firmware of 2.1(1) or later.
— The server supports installation of up to two plug-in Cisco VIC 1225/1225T cards and
they are supported only in certain slots. A third simultaneously operating VIC can be
the mLOM VIC card, which is installed in a slot inside the chassis. See
Table 14 for
