The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Un/Box the future with Cisco UCS® X-Series Modular System and Cisco Intersight™. Embrace an adaptable, future-ready, and cloud-operated system to simplify IT and innovate at the speed of software.
The Cisco UCS X-Series Modular System simplifies your data center, adapting to the unpredictable needs of modern applications while also providing for traditional scale-out and enterprise workloads. It reduces the number of server types to maintain, helping to improve operational efficiency and agility as it helps reduce complexity. Powered by the Cisco Intersight cloud-operations platform, it shifts your thinking from administrative details to business outcomes—with hybrid-cloud infrastructure that is assembled from the cloud, shaped to your workloads, and continuously optimized.
Main features
The Cisco UCS X210c M7 Compute Node is the second generation of compute node to integrate into the Cisco UCS X-Series Modular System. It delivers performance, flexibility, and optimization for deployments in data centers, in the cloud, and at remote sites. This enterprise-class server offers market-leading performance, versatility, and density without compromise for workloads. Up to eight compute nodes can reside in the 7-Rack-Unit (7RU) Cisco UCS X9508 Server Chassis, offering one of the highest densities of compute, I/O, and storage per rack unit in the industry.
The Cisco UCS X210c M7 provides these main features:
● CPU: Up to 2x 5th Gen or 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors with up to 64 cores per processor and up to 320 MB of Level 3 cache per CPU.
● Memory: Up to 8TB of main memory with 32x 256 GB DDR5 5600 MT/s or DDR5 4800 MT/s DIMMs depending on the CPU installed.
● Storage: Up to six hot-pluggable, Solid-State Drives (SSDs), or Non-volatile Memory Express (NVMe) 2.5-inch drives with a choice of enterprise-class Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAIDs) or passthrough controllers, up to two M.2 SATA drives with optional hardware RAID or up to two M.2 NVMe drives in pass-through mode.
● Optional front mezzanine GPU module: The Cisco UCS front mezzanine GPU module is a passive PCIe Gen 4.0 front mezzanine option with support for up to two NVMe drives and two HHHL GPUs.
● mLOM virtual interface cards (VICs):
◦ Cisco UCS VIC 15420 occupies the server's modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM) slot, enabling up to 50 Gbps of unified fabric connectivity to each of the chassis Intelligent Fabric Modules (IFMs) for 100 Gbps connectivity per server.
◦ Cisco UCS VIC 15231 occupies the server's modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM) slot, enabling up to 100 Gbps of unified fabric connectivity to each of the chassis Intelligent Fabric Modules (IFMs) for 100 Gbps connectivity per server.
◦ Cisco UCS VIC 15230 occupies the server's modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM) slot, enabling up to 100 Gbps of unified fabric connectivity to each of the chassis Intelligent Fabric Modules (IFMs) for 100 Gbps connectivity per server with secure boot technology.
● Optional mezzanine card:
◦ Cisco UCS 5th Gen Virtual Interface Card (VIC) 15422 can occupy the server's mezzanine slot at the bottom rear of the chassis. This card's I/O connectors link to Cisco UCS X-Fabric technology. An included bridge card extends this VIC's 2x 50 Gbps of network connections through IFM connectors, bringing the total bandwidth to 100 Gbps per fabric (for a total of 200 Gbps per server) with secure boot technology.
◦ Cisco UCS PCI Mezz card for X-Fabric can occupy the server's mezzanine slot at the bottom rear of the chassis. This card's I/O connectors link to Cisco UCS X-Fabric modules and enable connectivity to the Cisco UCS X440p PCIe Node.
◦ All VIC mezzanine cards also provide I/O connections from the X210c M7 compute node to the X440p PCIe Node.
● Security: The server supports an optional Trusted Platform Module (TPM). Additional features include a secure boot FPGA and ACT2 anti-counterfeit provisions.
