OVERVIEW
The UCS C240 M4 SFF server is the newest 2-socket, 2U rack server from Cisco, designed for both
performance and expandability over a wide range of storage-intensive infrastructure workloads from big
data to collaboration.
The enterprise-class UCS C240 M4 SFF server extends the capabilities of Cisco’s Unified Computing System
portfolio in a 2U form factor with the addition of the Intel® Xeon E5-2600 v3 series processor family that
delivers the best combination of performance, flexibility, and efficiency gains. In addition, the UCS C240 M4
SFF server provides 24 DIMM slots, up to 6 PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 slots, up to 24 front-loading drives plus two
(optional) internal SATA boot drives for a total of 26 internal drives.
The C240 M4 server includes a modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM) slot for installation of a Cisco Virtual
Interface Card (VIC) or third-party network interface card (NIC) without consuming a PCI slot in addition to
2 x 1 GbE embedded (on the motherboard) LOM ports. These features combine to provide outstanding levels
of internal memory and storage expandability along with exceptional performance.
The Cisco UCS C240 M4 server can be used standalone, or as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System,
which unifies computing, networking, management, virtualization, and storage access into a single
integrated architecture enabling end-to-end server visibility, management, and control in both bare metal
and virtualized environments.
