The Cisco UCS C240 M6 Rack Server is a powerful 2-socket, 2-Rack-Unit (2RU) server designed to meet the demands of a wide range of storage and I/O-intensive workloads. Here are the key features of the Cisco UCS C240 M6:

• Processor: Supports the third-generation Intel Xeon Scalable CPU, with up to 40 cores per socket.

• Memory: Up to 32 DDR4 DIMMs, including support for higher density DDR4 DIMMs (16 DIMMs per socket). It also supports 16x Intel Optane persistent memory modules for a total of up to 12 TB of memory.

• Expansion Slots: Offers up to 8 PCIe Gen 4.0 expansion slots, along with a modular LAN-on-motherboard (mLOM) slot.

• Network Connectivity: Supports Cisco UCS VIC 1400 Series adapters as well as third-party options. Features dual embedded Intel x550 10GBASE-T LAN-on-motherboard (LOM) ports.

• Storage: Provides flexibility with up to 28 hot-swappable Small-Form-Factor (SFF) SAS/SATA or NVMe drives, including options for SAS/SATA, NVMe, or a combination of both. It also supports up to 16 Large-Form-Factor (LFF) drives with options for rear SFF (SAS/SATA/NVMe) disk drives.

• RAID Controller: Supports a 12-Gbps SAS modular RAID controller in a dedicated slot, freeing up the remaining PCIe Gen 4.0 expansion slots for other cards.

• Boot Options: Offers M.2 boot options with support for up to 960 GB with optional hardware RAID.

• GPU Support: Capable of supporting up to five GPUs.

• Modular LAN-on-motherboard (mLOM): Features a slot that can accommodate a Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) without consuming a PCIe slot, offering quad port 10/40 Gbps or dual port 40/100 Gbps network connectivity.

These features make the Cisco UCS C240 M6 Rack Server an ideal choice for organizations looking for high-performance, scalable, and efficient computing solutions for their data-intensive workloads.
