Cisco UCS C245 SFF M6 Rack Server (Small Form Factor Disk Drive Model)

OVERVIEWOVERVIEWThe UCS C245 M6 SFF server extends the capabilities of Cisco’s Unified Computing System portfolio in a 2U
form factor with the addition of the AMD CPUs, 16 DIMM slots per CPU for 3200-MHz DDR4 DIMMs withindividual DIMM capacity points up to 256 GB. The maximum memory capacity for 2 CPUs is 8 TB (for 32 x
256 GB DDR4 DIMMs). The C245 M6 SFF server has:■

Up to 24 front SFF SAS/SATA HDDs or SSDs (optionally up to 4 of the drives can be NVMe)■

I/O-centric option provides up to 8 PCie slots using three rear risers, or■Storage-centric option provides three rear risers with a total of up to 4 NVMe SFF drives and 3 PCIeslots

The server provides internal slots for the following:■

One Cisco 12G SAS RAID controllers with 4 GB cache backup to control SAS/SATA drives, or■Cisco 12G SAS HBAs to control SAS/SATA drives.

NOTE: PCIe drives are controlled directly from the CPUs.

The UCS C245 M6 server has a single 1 GbE management port. A modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM)/OCP
3.0 module provides up to two 100 GbE ports. A connector on the front of the chassis provides KVM
functionality.
The Cisco UCS C245 M6 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 metaland virtualized environments.
See Figure 1 on page 6 for front and rear views of the UCS C245 M6 server.

Notes:

1. Any CPU PID ending in “P” cannot be used in a 2-CPU system. They can only be used in a 1-CPU system
2. If higher or lower speed DIMMs are selected than what is shown in Table 6 on page 19 for a given CPU speed,
the DIMMs will be clocked at the lowest common denominator of CPU clock and DIMM clock.

CAUTION: For systems configured with processors operating above 28o C [82.4o F], a fan fault or executing workloads with extensive use of heavy
instructions sets may assert thermal and/or performance faults with an associatedevent recorded in the System Event Log (SEL).

If an NVIDIA A10, or A100 GPU is installed, or rear HDDs are installed, the 28o
C [82.4o F] restriction changes to 25o C [77o F]

DIMM Rules■■

DIMM Mixing:■

Mixing different types of DIMM (RDIMM with any type of LRDIMM or 3DS LRDIMM with non-3DS
LRDIMM) is not supported within a server.

■

Mixing RDIMM with RDIMM types is allowed if they are mixed in same quantities, in abalanced configuration.

■

Mixing 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB RDIMMs is supported.

■

128 GB and 256 GB LRDIMMs cannot be mixed with other RDIMMs■

128 GB non-3DS LRDIMMs cannot be mixed with 256 GB 3DS LRDIMMs

General Population Order Guidelines:■

For best performance, populate all eight memory channels for each CPU socket, with every
channel having the same capacity.

■

Populate open channels before populating two DIMMs on a given channel.

■

In 2 DPC configurations where only one DIMM is populated on a channel, populate the DIMM
socket physically farthest away from the processor.

■

Balance memory capacity per channel pair on a given CPU.

■

Balance memory capacity per CPU socket in a two-socket system.

■

DIMMs within the same channel must be of the same base DIMM module type (all RDIMM,
LRDIMM, or 3DS).

■

DIMMs within the same channel must be of the same DRAM density.

■

All memory channels operate at the same frequency. The system will use the highest
common supported frequency when populated with different speed DIMMs. The highest
common supported speed is the rated speed of the slowest DIMM in the system while also
applying the population speed limits for the configuration (1 of 1, 1 of 2, 2 of 2).

SELECT DRIVE CONTROLLERS
The following list summarizes how drives are controlled on the server:■

SAS/SATA drives are controlled through a Cisco M6 12G RAID controller, or■

SAS/SATA drives are controlled through one or two Cisco 12G SAS HBAs■

NVMe PCIe drives are controlled directly from the CPUs

Cisco M6 12G SAS RAID Controller
This RAID controller supports up to 24 SAS or SATA drives operating at 3 Gbs, 6 Gbs, and 12 Gbs.
It includes a SuperCap for a 4 GB flash-back write cache (FBWC) and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10,
50, 60, SRAID0, and JBOD mode. The RAID controller plugs directly into a dedicated slot.

NOTE: 64 RAID groups (virtual drives) are supported with this RAID controller.

Cisco 12G SAS HBA
This HBA supports up to 16 SAS or SATA drives operating at 3 Gbs, 6 Gbs, and 12Gbs. It supports
JBOD or pass-through mode (not RAID) and plugs directly into a dedicated slot. Two of these
HBAs are required to control 24 drives.

RAID Volumes and Groups
When creating each RAID volume, follow these guidelines:

24■

Use the same capacity for each drive in each RAID volume■

For the Cisco M6 12G RAID controller, use either all SAS HDDs, or all SAS SSDs, or all SATA
SSDs in each RAID volume

NOTE: Cisco uses solid state drives from a number of vendors. All solid state drives are subject to physical write limits andhave varying maximum usage limitation specifications set by the manufacturer. Cisco will not replace any solid state drives
that have exceeded any maximum usage specifications set by Cisco or the manufacturer, as determined solely by Cisco.
Notes:

1. Operating Systems that support 4k sector size drives are as follows:- CentOS 7.9/8.2/8.3 (and later), Windows Server 2016/2019 (and later)- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.9/8.2 (and later), SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15.2 (and later)- ESXi 6.7 U3/7.0 U2 (and later)- See this link for operating system guidance: https://ucshcltool.cloudapps.cisco.com/public/- UEFI Mode must be used when booting from 4K sector size drives (legacy mode is not supported).
- Ensure that 4K sector size and 512 byte sector size drives are not mixed in the same RAID volume.
2. Targeted for write centric IO applications. Supports endurance of 10 or 3 DWPD (drive writes per day). Target
applications are caching, online transaction processing (OLTP), data warehousing, and virtual desktop infrastructure(VDI).
3. Targeted for read centric IO applications. Supports endurance of 1 DWPD (drive write per day). Target applications
are boot, streaming media, and collaboration.
4. Except HGST, Intel and WD NVMe drives can be mixed.

CONFIGURING the SERVER

NOTE:
■

When you order front-facing NVMe drives with or without raid controller(UCSC-RAID-M6SD), an NVMe cable (PID: CBL-SDFNVME-245M6) is included
along with the drives.

■

When you order front-facing NVMe drives with dual SAS HBAs
(UCSC-SAS-240M6), an NVMe cable (PID: CBL-FNVME-C245M6) is included alongwith the drives.

■

If you decide to add front-facing NVMe drives later, you may need to order thedrives as spare and also an NVMe cable (PID: CBL-SDFNVME-245M6= or
CBL-FNVME-C245M6=). Spare NVMe cables supports depends on the drive
controller installing/installed in the system.
• With or without RAID controller (UCSC-RAID-M6SD) configuration:— Cable PID: CBL-SDFNVME-245M6=— This cable plugs into NVMe-C on MB side, and NVMe-C on BP side andcontrols drives 1-2.
— This cable plugs into NVMe-B on MB side, and NVMe-D on BP side andcontrols drives 3-4.
• Dual SAS HBA(UCSC-SAS-240M6) configuration:— Cable PID: CBL-FNVME-C245M6=— This cable plugs into MB CPU2(NVMe-C) to NVMe-C & D on 2U24 SFF BP
and connects to drives HDD1~2 & HDD3~4.

See for SPARE PARTS, page 80 section for all the spare components and required
other parts with it.
Caveats

30■

Front SFF NVMe drives are connected directly to CPU2, and are not managed by any drive
controller.

■

If you order any front SFF NVMe drives, you must also order two CPUs.

■

The rear NVMe drives are controlled directly from the CPUs.

■

The rear NVMe drives are not bootable.

■

If you order 3 or 4 NVMe drives, you must also order two CPUs■

SFF NVMe drives are bootable in UEFI mode only.

■

You can mix HDDs and SSDs as long as you keep all HDDs in their own RAID volume and all
SSDs in their own RAID volume.

■

You can mix SAS HDDs and SAS/SATA SSDs when using a Cisco M6 12G SAS RAID controller or
Cisco 12G SAS HBA.

■

SED drives can be mixed with the non-SED drives in Table 10 on page 27

Cisco UCS C245 M6 SFF Rack Server (Small Form Factor Disk Drive Model)

CONFIGURING the SERVER

Caveats■

For 1-CPU systems:—

Only PCIe slots 1, 2, and 3 on PCIe riser 1A are available for a 1-CPU system.

—

The PCIe slots on riser 2 are not supported on 1-CPU systems. The riser 2 slots are
full-height PCIe slots 4, 5, and 6 (see Figure 3 on page 8). These are the slots in the
middle when looking at the rear of the server. Slot 4 is the bottom slot.

—

The PCIe slots on riser 3 are not supported on 1-CPU systems. The riser 3 slots are
full-height PCIe slots 7 and 8 (see Figure 3 on page 8). These are the slots on theright when looking at the rear of the server. Slot 7 is the bottom slot.

—

Only a single plug-in PCIe VIC card may be installed on a 1-CPU system, and it must
be installed in slots 1, 2, or 3 of riser 1A.

—

You can order an mLOM VIC card to be installed in the mLOM/OCP 3.0 slot internal
to the chassis and thus have two VIC cards in operation at the same time. If you
order a GPU, it must be installed in slots as specified in Table 11 on page 31. See
Table 11 on page 31 for the selection of plug-in and mLOM VIC cards.For 2-CPU
systems:—

The following PCIe slots are available:• Three on PCIe riser 1A (PCIe slots 1, 2, and 3),• Three on PCIe riser 2A (PCIe slots 4, 5, and 6),• Two on PCIe riser 3A (PCIe slots 7 and 8).

—

Two plug-in PCIe VIC cards can be installed in dual CPU systems, using slots 2 and 5.
In addition, you can order an mLOM VIC card, which is installed in the mLOM/OCP
3.0 slot inside the chassis and thus have three VIC cards in operation at the sametime. See Table 11 on page 31 for the selection of plug-in and mLOM VIC cards. See
also Table 1 on page 10 and Serial Port Details, page 79 for the PCIe slot physicaldescriptions.

—

If GPUs are installed in slot 2 of riser 1A or slot 5 of riser 2A, the NCSI capability
automatically switches over to slot 1 of riser 1A or slot 4 of Riser 2A. Therefore,
Cisco PCIe VICs can be installed in slots 1 and 4 if GPUs are installed in slots 2 and 5.
If you order multiple GPUs, they must be installed as shown in Table 11 on page 31.

—

The server supports up to two PCIe Cisco VICs plus an mLOM VIC
However, single-wire management is supported on only one VIC at a time. If
multiple VICs are installed on a server, only one slot has NCSI enabled at a time andfor single wire management, priority goes to the mLOM/OCP 3.0 slot, then slot 2,
then slot 5 for NCSI management traffic. When multiple cards are installed,connect the single wire management cables in the priority order mentioned above.

STEP 10 ORDER POWER SUPPLYPower supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot-plug andtool-less installation into M6 C-series servers. Each power supply is certified for high-efficiency
operation and offer multiple power output options. This allows users to “right-size” based onserver configuration, which improves power efficiency, lower overall energy costs and avoid
stranded capacity in the data center. Use the power calculator at the following link todetermine the needed power based on the options chosen (CPUs, drives, memory, and so on):http://ucspowercalc.cisco.com

STEP 14 ORDER SECURITY DEVICES (OPTIONAL)
A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a computer chip (microcontroller) that can securely store
artifacts used to authenticate the platform (server). These artifacts can include passwords,
certificates, or encryption keys. A TPM can also be used to store platform measurements that
help ensure that the platform remains trustworthy. Authentication (ensuring that the platform
can prove that it is what it claims to be) and attestation (a process helping to prove that aplatform is trustworthy and has not been breached) are necessary steps to ensure safer
computing in all environments.
A chassis intrusion switch gives a notification of any unauthorized mechanical access into theserver.

■

The TPM module used in this system conforms to TPM 2.0, as defined by theTrusted Computing Group (TCG). It is also SPI-based.

■

TPM installation is supported after-factory. However, a TPM installs with aone-way screw and cannot be replaced, upgraded, or moved to another server. If
a server with a TPM is returned, the replacement server must be ordered with a
new TPM.

which reduces the risk of any potential liabilities. This service also enables you to comply withregulatory, local, and federal requirements.
If your company has a need to control confidential, classified, sensitive, or proprietary data, you
might want to consider one of the Drive Retention Services listed in the above tables (whereavailable).

NOTE: Cisco does not offer a certified drive destruction service as part of thisservice.

Local Language Technical Support for UCS
Where available, and subject to an additional fee, local language support for calls on all
assigned severity levels may be available for specific product(s) – see tables above.

REPLACING CPUs and HEATSINKSREPLACING CPUs and HEATSINKSNOTE: Before servicing any CPU, do the following:■

Decommission and power off the server.

■

Slide the C245 M6 SFF server out from the rack.

■

Remove the top cover.

CAUTION: CPUs and their sockets are fragile and must be handled withextreme care to avoid damaging pins. The CPUs must be installed with heatsinks
and thermal interface material to ensure cooling. Failure to install a CPU
correctly might result in damage to the server.

CAUTION: Always shut down the server before removing it from the chassis, as
described in the procedures. Failure to shut down the server before removal
results in the corresponding RAID supercap cache being discarded and otherdata might be lost.
To replace an existing CPU, follow these steps:(1) Have the following tools and materials available for the procedure:■

T-20 Torx driver—Supplied with replacement CPU.

■

Thermal interface material (TIM)—Syringe supplied with replacement CPU.

(2) Order the appropriate replacement CPU from Table 5 on page 16(3) Carefully remove and replace the CPU and heatsink in accordance with the instructions
found in “Cisco UCS C245 M6 Server Installation and Service Guide,” found at:https://www.cisco.com/content/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/c245m6/install/
c245m6.html
To add a new CPU, follow these steps:(1) Have the following tools and materials available for the procedure:95■

T-30 Torx driver—Supplied with new CPU.

■

Thermal interface material (TIM)—Syringe supplied with replacement CPU.

Cisco UCS C245 M6 SFF Rack Server (Small Form Factor Disk Drive Model)

UPGRADING or REPLACING MEMORY(2) Order the appropriate new CPU from Table 5 on page 16(3) Order one heat sink for each new CPU. Order PID UCSC-HSHP-245M6 unless you haveinstalled a double-wide or A10 GPU. In that case, order PID UCSC-HSLP-245M6.
(4) Carefully install the CPU and heatsink in accordance with the instructions found in “Cisco
UCS C240 M6 Server Installation and Service Guide,” found at:https://www.cisco.com/content/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/c245m6/install/c24
5m6.html

UPGRADING or REPLACING MEMORYNOTE: Before servicing any DIMM, do the following:■

Decommission and power off the server.

■

Remove the top cover from the server■

Slide the server out the front of the chassis.

To add or replace DIMMs, follow these steps:
Step 1 Open both DIMM connector latches.
Step 2 Press evenly on both ends of the DIMM until it clicks into place in its slot
Note: Ensure that the notch in the DIMM aligns with the slot. If the notch is misaligned, it ispossible to damage the DIMM, the slot, or both.
Step 3 Press the DIMM connector latches inward slightly to seat them fully.
Step 4 Populate all slots with a DIMM or DIMM blank. A slot cannot be empty.
