External Features Overview
The figures in this chapter show an overview of external server features.
(Internal server features are illustrated in Figure 3-5 on page 3-9.)
The server is orderable in two different versions, each with one of two different front panel/backplane
configurations:
•Cisco UCS C220 (small form-factor (SFF) drives, with 8-drive backplane.
Holds up to eight 2.5-inch hard drives or solid state drives.
•Cisco UCS C220 (large form factor (LFF) drives, with 4-drive backplane).
Holds up to four 3.5-inch hard drives.

Table 1-1 Cisco UCS C220 Server Features
Chassis One rack-unit (1RU) chassis.
Processors Two Intel Xeon E5-2600 Series processors.
Memory The server provides 16 DIMM1sockets on the motherboard. This provides a
possible total of up to 512 GB of industry-standard DDR32memory.
Multi-bit error
protection This server supports multi-bit error protection.
Baseboard
management BMC, running Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) firmware.
Depending on your CIMC settings, the CIMC can be accessed through the
1-Gb Ethernet dedicated management port, the dual 1-Gb Ethernet LOM ports, or a
Cisco virtual interface card.
Cooling Five hot-swappable fan modules for front-to-rear cooling.
PCIe I/O Two horizontal PCIe3expansion slots on risers.
See Replacing a PCIe Card, page 3-36 for slot specifications.
InfiniBand The bus slots in this server support the InfiniBand architecture.

Chapter 1 Overview
Network and
management I/O The server provides these rear-panel connectors:
•One 1-Gb Ethernet dedicated management port
•Two 1-Gb Base-T Ethernet ports
•One RS-232 serial port (RJ-45 connector)
•One 15-pin VGA4connector
•Two USB52.0 connectors
•One front-panel KVM connector that is used with the included KVM cable,
which provides two USB, one VGA, and one serial connector.
WoL The 1-Gb Base-T Ethernet LAN ports support the wake-on-LAN (WoL) standard.
Power Up to two power supplies, both either 450W or 650W each.
Redundant as 1+1. Do not mix power supply types in the server.
See Power Specifications, page A-3 for more information on power supplies.
ACPI This server supports the advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) 4.0
standard.
Storage Drives are installed into front-panel drive bays that provide hot-pluggable access.
There are two versions of the server front panel and backplane:
•Small Form Factor—The server can hold up to eight 2.5-inch SAS6or SATA7
hard drives or solid state drives.
•Large Form Factor—The server can hold up to four 3.5-inch SAS or SATA hard
drives.
The server also contains one internal USB 2.0 port on the motherboard that you can
use with a USB thumb drive for additional storage.
The server also contains two internal bays for SD cards.
Disk
Management
(RAID)
For a list of supported RAID controller options, see RAID Controller
Considerations, page C-1.
RAID Backup There is one mounting point inside the chassis that can be used for a RAID backup
unit when using an LSI MegaRAID card. This unit can be either of the following:
•The optional LSI BBU that can be used with LSI MegaRAID cards.
•The SuperCap Power Module that can be used with LSI MegaRAID-CV cards.
Video Resolution up to 1600x1200, 16bpp at 60 Hz. Up to 256 MB of video memory.
1. DIMM = dual inline memory module
2. DDR3 = double data rate, type 3
3. PCIe = peripheral component interconnect express
4. VGA = video graphics array
5. USB = universal serial bus
6. SAS = serial attached SCSI
7. SATA = serial advanced technology attachment
