2 Overview
The Cisco UCS C890 M5 Rack Server, with eight sockets, is designed for workloads
that demand high-reliability, intensive compute operations with best-in-industry
management costs. This server delivers an impressive 605,730 SAPS by incorporating
eight Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8268, 8276, or 8280L processors. This server meets the
critical workload demands for SAPS/4 HANA, BW/4 HANA, Epic Caché databases, and
other massive virtualization workload consolidation efforts packed into a Seven-Unit
(7U) form factor.
2.1 Unpacking the System
Inspect the box the Cisco UCS C890 M5 Rack Server was shipped in and note if it was
damaged in any way. If any equipment appears damaged, file a damage claim with
the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the server. It should be
situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat,
electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. It will also require a
grounded AC power outlet nearby.
