Overview - Cisco UCS C24 M3 Manual

OVERVIEW

The Cisco® UCS C24 M3 Rack Server combines economics and a density-optimized feature set from entry
level enterprise to SMB with applications such as scale out, virtualization, IT and web infrastructure, VPN
servers, file/print servers, and appliances.
Building on the success of the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers, the Cisco UCS C24 M3 rack server and the
Cisco 1225 VIC extend the capabilities of the Cisco UCS portfolio in a 2 RU form factor with the Intel®
Xeon® processor E5-2400 series processor family CPUs, which deliver the best combination of performance,
flexibility, and efficiency gains. In addition, the Cisco UCS C24 M3 offers up to 12 DIMM slots, 24 disk drives,
5 PCIe slots, and two 1 Gigabit Ethernet LAN-on-motherboard (LOM) ports to provide exceptional levels of
internal storage and price/performance.
The 24-drive version of the server has a SAS expander enabled backplane that supports up to 24 hard disk
drives with a single RAID card.
