Overview
The Cisco UCS C220 M7 server is a one-rack unit server that can be used standalone, or as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System, which unifies computing, networking, management, virtualization, and storage access into a single integrated architecture. Cisco UCS also enables end-to-end server visibility, management, and control in both bare metal and virtualized environments. Each Cisco UCS C220 M7 has two CPU sockets that can support the following Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors:
-
Fourth Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Server Processors
-
Fifth Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Server Processors
Additionally, the server supports the following features with one CPU or two identical CPUs:
-
32 DDR5 DIMMs (RDIMM), 4400 MHz (2 DPC), up to 5600 MHz (1DPC) support for RDIMMs.
16 DIMMs are supported per CPU for a total system memory of 4 TB (up to 128 GB DDR5 DIMMs)
-
DDR5 DIMM capacities vary based on the CPU type for the compute node:
-
Intel Fourth Generation Xeon Scalable Processors support 16, 32, 64, and 128 GB DDR5 DIMMs
-
Intel Fifth Generation Xeon Scalable Processors support 16, 32, 64, 96, and 128 GB DDR5 DIMMs
-
-
The server's DIMM configuration differs depending on which generation of CPU is populated on the server:
-
With Fourth Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Server Processors, the compute node supports DDR5 DIMMs up to 4800 MT/s with 1DPC, and up to 4400 MT/s with 2DPC
-
With Fifth Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Server Processors, the compute node supports DDR5 DIMMs up to 5600 MT/s with 1 DPC, and up to 4400 MT/s with 2DPC
-
-
3 PCI Express riser connectors, which provide slots for full-height and half-height PCIe adapters in rear mezzanine slots.
-
Two power supplies (PSUs) with support for 1+1 and cold redundancy power redundancy modes. For supported PSUs, see Power Specifications.

Two different front-loading hardware configurations are available:
-
The Cisco UCS C220 M7 SFF (UCSC-C220-M7S): This model supports only small form-factor (SFF) drives and has a 10-drive backplane. Supports up to 10 front-loading 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drives, and up to 4 of the drives can be NVMe.
When this model is configured with the Cisco 24G Tri-Mode RAID controller (UCSC-RAID-HP), up to 10 NVMe drives are supported.
-
The Cisco UCS C220 M7 NVMe (UCSC-C220-M7N): This model supports only small form-factor (SFF) drives and has a 10-drive backplane. Supports up to 10 front-loading 2.5-inch NVMe-only SSDs.
-
-
Rear PCI risers are supported as one to three half-height half-length (HHHL) PCIe risers, or one to two full-height ¾ length PCIe risers.
