3 With this combination of features, up to 9 TB of memory is possible (using 12 x 256 GB DDR4 DIMMs and 12 x 512 GB PMem), up to 6 PCI Express (PCIe) slots, and up to 12 front-facing internal LFF drives. The C240 M5 LFF Server also includes one dedicated internal slot for a 12G SAS storage controller C240 M5 Server includes a dedicated modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM) slot for installation of a Cisco Virtual Interface Card (VIC) or third-party network interface card (NIC) without consuming a PCI slot, in addition to 2 x 10 Intel x550 10 Gbase-T embedded (on the motherboard) LOM Cisco UCS C240 M5 Server 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 enabling end-to-end Server visibility, management, and control in both bare metal and virtualized 1 Cisco UCS C240 M5 LFF Rack ServerFront ViewRear ViewCisco UCS C240 M5 Rack Server (Large Form Factor Disk Drive Model)4 DETAILED VIEWSDETAILED VIEWSC hassis Front ViewFigure2 shows the 12-drive Cisco UCS C240 M5 LFF Rack 2 Chassis Front ViewFor more information about the KVM cable connection, see KVM CABLE, page bays 1 12 support SAS/SATA hard drives and solid state drives (SSDs).
