Cisco UCS
C260
Server Features
Two rack-unit (2RU) chassis.
Two Intel Xeon E7-2800 Series processors.
The server provides 16 memory riser sockets and two memory riser options:
When using the standard Intel chipset memory risers, the 16 risers can each hold
•
1
2 DIMMs
. This provides a possible total of up to 32 DIMMs and 512 GB of
industry-standard DDR3
•
When using the optional memory risers that have a memory-expansion ASIC,
the 16 risers can each hold 4 DIMMs. This provides a possible total of up to 64
DIMMs and 1024 GB of industry-standard DDR3 memory.
This server supports multi-bit error protection.
Drives are installed into configurable (one or two) drive bay modules that provide
hot-pluggable front-panel access.
Each drive bay module can hold up to eight 2.5in SAS
state drives, for a total of 16 drives.
The server includes one internal Cisco FlexFlash drive (SD card).
This drive is pre-loaded with four virtual drives. The four virtual drives contain,
respectively, the Cisco Server Configuration Utility, the Cisco Host Upgrade Utility,
the Cisco C-Series server drivers set, and a blank VD on which you can install an
OS or a hypervisor.
Note
At this time, dual Cisco FlexFlash cards are not supported.
Factory-configured RAID
The LSI MegaRAID SAS 9261-8i controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50,
•
and 60 support for up to 8 SAS or SATA drives. Support for up to 16 maximum
drives can be achieved in two ways:
The server supports installation of two of these cards, which can be
–
connected to two nonexpander-style transition cards.
You can control up to 16 drives with one of these cards, if connected to an
–
expander-style transition card. See
Assembly, page 3-14
There are also two mounting points inside the chassis for the optional LSI RAID
battery backup units that can be used with the controller cards.

Two standard-profile, half-length, x16 horizontal slots on riser cards
Four low-profile, half-length, x8 slots on motherboard
•
One low-profile, half-length, x4 slot (x8-length connector) on motherboard
•
The card length is the supported length because of internal clearance.
The bus slots in this server support the InfiniBand architecture.
