Cisco UCS Cisco UCS C220 M3 High-Density Rack Server (Large Form Factor Hard Disk Drive Model)
CONFIGURING the SERVER
33
— Both PCIe slots (slots 1 and 2) and the mezzanine card slot are supported
— Only a single VIC card (the half-height Cisco VIC 1225 or 1285 PCIe card) is supported
and it must be installed in slot 1 (the full height slot).
— Only a single Cisco UCS 3.0 TB MLC Fusion ioDrive2 card is supported and it must be
installed in slot 1 (the full height slot).
— Up to two of the other Fusion ioDrive2 cards (1205-, 785- and 365-GB versions) are
supported and can be installed in either slot 1 or 2, although an adapter may be
needed when installing one of these half-height cards in slot 1 (the full-height slot).
■
Other considerations for the Cisco VIC 1225 or 1285:
— Supports 10G SFP+ optical and copper twinax connections
— The server supports installation of one Cisco VIC card and it is supported only in PCIe
slot 1.
— 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 (Cisco UCS Manager mode) with Cisco UCS
Manager 2.1(0) or later, the minimum card-firmware and uboot image level is
2.1(0.306).

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.
Choose Optional Twinax Cables
Table 12
lists the copper twinax cables available for the PCIe cards. You can choose cable
lengths of 1, 3, 5, 7, or 10 meters. The two longer cables (7 and 10 meters) are active, which
means that they contain active components within the SFP+ housing to improve signal quality.
