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

CONFIGURING the SERVER

Approved Configurations

(1) No RAID controller plug-in card

■ If you did not choose a plug-in RAID controller (for example, you are using the mezzanine

RAID controller), you can select up to five PCie option cards listed in

Table 8.

(2) One RAID controller plug-in card

■ If you selected a plug-in PCIe RAID controller, you can select only one of the optional PCIe

cards listed in

Table 8.

Caveats

■ For 1-CPU systems:

— Only the three PCIe slots on PCIe riser 1 are supported. The three slots are PCIe slots

1, 2, and 3 (see

Figure 2 on page 4). 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 (a full-height PCIe card) may be installed on a 1-CPU system,

and it must be installed in slot 2. See

Table 1 on page 5 for the slot descriptions.

■ For 2-CPU systems:

— Five PCIe slots are supported, three on PCIe riser 1 (PCIe slots 1, 2, and 3) and two

on PCIe riser 2 (PCIe slots 4 and 5).

— All of the slots are full-height except one.

— All of the server PCIe adapter cards are half-height cards, with the exception of the

Virtual Interface Card (VIC) (N2XX-ACPCI01), which is a full-height card. Therefore,

two VIC cards may be installed in 2-CPU systems, using slots 2 or 5. Note, however,

that if the server is using UCSM, only slot 2 is supported for the VIC card. See

Table 1 on page 5 for the slot descriptions.

■ All PCIe cards will fit in either slot, except the VIC card, which must be installed in a

full-height slot (slots 2 or 5, except only slot 2 when the server uses UCSM).

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

check the Hardware Compatibility List at this URL:

NOTE: If a plug-in RAID controller card is installed, any optional PCIe card you select

will be installed in the full-height slot. RAID controllers are always installed in the

half-height slot.
