Overview Cisco UCS C240 M7 Rack Server

The Cisco UCS C240 M7 Rack Server is optimized for a variety of storage and I/O-intensive applications, including big data analytics, databases, collaboration, virtualization, consolidation, and high-performance computing, all within its two-socket, 2RU form factor.

Key Features and Benefits

Processor and Performance:

Supports up to two 4th or 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, offering 60% more cores per socket.
Advanced features include Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX), Data Streaming Accelerator (DSA), In-Memory Analytics Accelerator (IAA), and QuickAssist Technology (QAT), significantly enhancing application performance.

Memory and Storage:

Accommodates up to 32 DDR5 DIMMs, providing up to 8 TB of memory using 256 GB DIMMs (16 DIMMs per socket).
DDR5 memory speeds of up to 5600 MT/s, depending on the installed CPU.
Supports up to 28 hot-swappable Small-Form-Factor (SFF) SAS/SATA or NVMe drives, with up to 8 direct-attach NVMe drives.
Offers M.2 boot options with up to two 960GB SATA M.2 drives with hardware RAID, or up to two 960GB NVMe M.2 drives with NVMe hardware RAID.
New tri-mode RAID controller supports SAS4 and NVMe hardware RAID.

Expansion and Connectivity:

Provides up to 8 PCIe 4.0 slots or up to 4 PCIe 5.0 slots, plus a hybrid modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM) / OCP 3.0 slot.
One dedicated PCIe Gen4x16 slot for adding an mLOM or OCP 3.0 card for additional rear-panel connectivity.
The mLOM slot can be used to install a Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) without using a PCIe slot, supporting quad-port 10/25/50 Gbps or dual-port 40/100/200 Gbps network connectivity.
The OCP 3.0 slot features full out-of-band management for select adapters.

GPU Support:

Supports up to eight GPUs, enhancing computational capabilities for various high-performance applications.

Management:

Can be deployed as standalone servers or as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System™ managed by Cisco Intersight™ or Cisco UCS Manager, leveraging Cisco’s standards-based unified computing innovations to reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and increase business agility.

The Cisco UCS C240 M7 Rack Server is designed to extend the capabilities of the Cisco UCS rack server portfolio, delivering significant performance and efficiency gains to improve your application performance.
