Cisco UCS C240 M4 Server Installation and Service Guide
OL-32474-01
Chapter 1 Overview
Storage
Drives are installed into front-panel drive bays that provide hot-swappable access
for SAS/SATA drives. The server is orderable in four different versions, each with
one of four different front panel/backplane configurations
:
•
Cisco UCS C240 M4—Small form-factor (SFF) drives with 24-drive
backplane and expander. This version holds up to 24 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard
drives or solid state drives (SSDs). This version also supports up to 2 NVMe
PCIe SSDs.
•
Cisco UCS C240 M4—SFF drives with 16-drive backplane and integrated
expander. This version holds up to 16 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard drives or solid
state drives. This version also supports up to 2 NVMe PCIe SSDs.
•
Cisco UCS C240 M4—SFF drives with 8-drive direct-connect backplane and
no expander. This version holds up to 8 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard drives or
solid state drives. This version also supports up to 2 NVMe PCIe SSDs.
•
Cisco UCS C240 M4—Large form-factor (LFF) drives with 12-drive
backplane and integrated expander. This version holds up to 12 3.5-inch
SAS/SATA hard drives.
Note
You cannot change the backplane type after-factory. To change a front
panel/backplane configuration, a chassis replacement is required.
Internal USB
One internal USB 3.0 port on the motherboard that you can use with a USB thumb
drive for additional storage.
SD cards
Two internal bays on the motherboard for up to two SD cards.
The two flash drives can be configured in a RAID 1 configuration.
Disk
Management
(RAID)
Dedicated internal socket for a PCIe-style RAID controller card.
The server can optionally use its own embedded SATA RAID controller with the
installation of a SATA interposer board. You can optionally add a RAID 5 key to
upgrade this SATA RAID.
For a list of RAID
5
controller options and required cabling, see

RAID Backup
Mounting point on the air baffle for the supercap power module that is used with
the Cisco modular RAID controller card.
Video
VGA video resolution up to 1920 x 1200, 16 bpp at 60 Hz, and up to 256 MB of
video memory.
1.
DIMM = dual inline memory module
2.
VGA = video graphics array
3.
USB = universal serial bus
4.
PCIe = peripheral component interconnect express
5.
RAID = redundant array of independent disks
