Notes
1. If higher or lower speed DIMMs are selected than what is shown in the table for a given CPU, the DIMMs will be
clocked at the lowest common denominator of CPU clock and DIMM clock. For example:
Selecting lower-speed DIMMs: If you use an E4-2470 CPU (which can support up to 1600-MHz DIMMs) with 1333-MHz
DIMMs, the DIMMs will be clocked at the lower speed of 1333 MHz.
Selecting higher-speed DIMMs: If you use 1600-MHz DIMMs with an E5-2420 CPU (which can support up to 1333-MHz
DIMMs), the DIMMS will be clocked at the lower speed of 1333 MHz.

CONFIGURING the SERVER

Supported Configurations

(1) 1-CPU Configuration

■ Choose one CPU from any one of the rows of Table 3 on page 9.

(2) Two-CPU Configuration

■ Choose two identical CPUs from any one of the rows of Table 3 on page 9.

Caveats

■ For optimal performance, select DIMMs with the highest clock speed for a given processor.
■ The B22 M3 configured with 1 CPU provides limited network connectivity options. The
following restrictions apply:
— A virtual interface card (VIC), the VIC 1240, must always be installed in the VIC 1240
connector.
— The connectivity options are:
• VIC 1240 installed in VIC 1240 slot (adapter 1 slot) and no adapter installed in the
mezzanine slot (adapter 2 slot)
■ See Network Connectivity on page 41 for complete information on network connectivity
support for a B22 M3 configured with 1 CPU or 2 CPUs.
■ The VIC 1240 adapter is supported for 1- or 2-CPU configurations.
■ Cisco, Emulex, or QLogic I/O adapters or Cisco UCS Storage Accelerators are supported only
for 2-CPU configurations.

STEP 3 CHOOSE MEMORY

The standard memory features are:

■ DIMMs
— Clock speed: 1600 MHz
— Ranks per DIMM: 1 or 2
— Operational voltage: dual (1.5 or 1.35 V)
— Registered
■ DDR3 ECC registered DIMMs (RDIMMs)
■ Memory is organized with three memory channels per CPU, with up to two DIMMs per
channel (DPC), as shown in Figure 3. Maximum memory capacity is 384 GB (with 32 GB
DIMMs).

CONFIGURING the SERVER

Choose DIMMs and Memory Mirroring

Select the memory configuration and whether or not you want the memory mirroring option.
The supported memory DIMMs and the mirroring option are listed in Table 4.

NOTE: When memory mirroring is enabled, the memory subsystem simultaneously

writes identical data to two adjacent channels. If a memory read from one of the
channels returns incorrect data due to an uncorrectable memory error, the system
automatically retrieves the data from the other channel. A transient or soft error in
one channel does not affect the mirrored data, and operation continues unless there
is a simultaneous error in exactly the same location on a DIMM and its mirrored
DIMM. Memory mirroring reduces the amount of memory available to the operating
system by 50% because only one of the two populated channels provides data.

The supported memory DIMMs in the UCS B22 M3 are listed in Table 4.

Supported Configurations

(1) Without memory mirroring:

■ Select from 1 to 6 DIMMs per CPU (note that there are 6 DIMM slots per CPU)

(2) With memory mirroring:

■ Select 2 or 4 DIMMs per CPU. The DIMMs must be identical across channels for the same
banks.The DIMMs will be placed by the factory as shown in Table 5:

Table 5 DIMM Placement With Memory Mirroring

2 1 DIMM in Channel C (C0), 1 DIMM in Channel G (G0),
1 DIMM in Channel D (D0) 1 DIMM in Channel H (H0)
4 2 DIMMs in Channel C (C0, C1), 2 DIMMs in Channel G (G0, G1),
2 DIMMs in Channel D (D0, D1) 2 DIMMs in Channel H (H0. H1)

■ Select the memory mirroring option (N01-MMIRROR) as shown in Table 4 on page 12.

NOTE: System performance is optimized when the DIMM type and quantity are equal
for both CPUs, and when all channels are filled equally across the CPUs in the server.

Caveats

■ For 2-CPU configurations, DIMMs must be even across the server (2, 4, 6 up to 12). For
example, you can select four 8 GB DIMMs and six 16 GB DIMMs.
■ Memory mirroring reduces the amount of available memory by 50% (quantity of DIMMs must
be even for mirroring).
■ By default, all DIMMs run at 1.35 V, which yields 1333-MHz memory speeds. To run the
memory DIMMS at 1600 MHz, you need to go into the BIOS or set the policy with UCSM
(service profile) to run in Performance Mode. This forces the DIMMs to operate at 1.5 V and
yields 1600-MHz speeds provided:
— The DIMMs are 1600-MHz devices
— The CPUs chosen support 1600-MHz operation

For more information regarding memory, see DIMM and CPU Layout on page 34 and
DIMM Population on page 36.

STEP 5 CHOOSE ADAPTERS

The adapter offerings are:

■ Cisco Adapters: Virtual Interface Cards (VICs)

Cisco developed Virtual Interface Cards (VICs) to provide flexibility to create multiple NIC and
HBA devices. The VICs also support adapter Fabric Extender and Virtual Machine Fabric Extender
technologies.

■ Converged Network Adapters (CNAs)

Emulex and QLogic Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) consolidate Ethernet and Storage (FC)
traffic on the Unified Fabric by supporting FCoE.

■ Cisco UCS Storage Accelerators

These Storage Accelerator adapters are designed specifically for the Cisco UCS B-series M3
blades servers and integrate seamlessly to allow improvement in performance and relief of I/O
bottlenecks.

NOTE: There are two slots on the server. Adapter slot 2 accommodates Em ulex or
QLogic I/O adapters or Cisco UCS Storage Accelerators, and adapter slot 1 is a
dedicated slot for the VIC 1240 adapter only. Table 7 shows which adapters plug into
each of the two slots. Only the VIC 1240 adapter plugs into the VIC 1240 adapter 1
slot. All other adapters plug into the adapter 2 slot.

NOTE: You must have a B22 M3 configured with 2 CPUs to support adapters that plug
into the adapter 2 connector. The VIC 1240 adapter is supported on both 1- and
2-CPU configured systems.

Caveats

■ If a VIC 1240 adapter is not installed (2-CPU configuration only), you must choose a Cisco,
Emulex, or QLogic I/O adapter to be installed in adapter 2 slot (see also Network
Connectivity on page 41)
■ The mezzanine adapters are not supported for 1-CPU configurations. You must have two
CPUs installed before you can install and use mezzanine adapters.
■ The 1-CPU server configuration must always have a VIC 1240 installed in the adapter 1 slot.

STEP 6 ORDER A TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a computer chip (microcontroller) that can securely store
artifacts used to authenticate the platform (server). These artifacts can include passwords,
certificates, or encryption keys. A TPM can also be used to store platform measurements that
help ensure that the platform remains trustworthy. Authentication (ensuring that the platform
can prove that it is what it claims to be) and attestation (a process helping to prove that a
platform is trustworthy and has not been breached) are necessary steps to ensure safer
computing in all environments.

The TPM ordering information is listed in Table 11.

Unified Computing Drive Retention Service

With the Cisco Unified Computing Drive Retention (UCDR) Service, you can obtain a new disk
drive in exchange for a faulty drive without returning the faulty drive. In exchange for a Cisco
replacement drive, you provide a signed Certificate of Destruction (CoD) confirming that the
drive has been removed from the system listed, is no longer in service, and has been destroyed.

Sophisticated data recovery techniques have made classified, proprietary, and confidential
information vulnerable, even on malfunctioning disk drives. The UCDR service enables you to
retain your drives and ensures that the sensitive data on those drives is not compromised, which
reduces the risk of any potential liabilities. This service also enables you to comply with
regulatory, local, and federal requirements.

If your company has a need to control confidential, classified, sensitive, or proprietary data, you
might want to consider one of the Drive Retention Services listed in Table 21.

NOTE: Cisco does not offer a certified drive destruction service as part of this
service.

2. This part is included/configured with the UCS 5108 blade server chassis.
3. This part is included with the purchase of an optional or spare CPU processor kit.

Drive and Blade Server Blanking Panels

A drive blanking panel (N20-BBLKD=) must be installed if you remove a disk drive from a UCS server.
Similarly, a blade server blanking panel (N20-CBLKB1=) must be installed if you remove a half-width blade
server (such as a UCS B22 M3 server) from a blade server chassis. These panels are required to maintain
system temperatures at safe operating levels, and to keep dust away from system components.

Adding an Additional CPU (with CPU heat sink)

All Cisco UCS two CPU socket-capable servers can be upgraded from having one to having two CPUs
configured. You will need to order and install a heat sink when adding any additional CPU to a server.
Instructions for installing the new CPU and heat sink can be found at the following link:

CPU Removal and Installation (“pick n place”) Tool Set

The Pick n Place tool set includes two tools:

■ Pick and pull cap tool - used to pull off the plastic protective cap covering an empty CPU socket and
to remove or lift a CPU processor without touching it
■ Pick and place tool - used to install a CPU in its socket without damage. Must be used each time a
CPU is installed in a UCS “M3” server.

Instructions for using this tool set are found at the following link:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/hw/chassis/install/b22.html#wp1010281

NOTE: When you purchase a spare CPU, the Pick n Place Toolkit is included.

Thermal Grease (with syringe applicator) for CPU to Heatsink Seal

Thermal grease must be applied to the top of the CPU where it comes in contact with the heat sink.
Instructions for applying thermal grease are found at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/hw/chassis/install/b22.html#wp1010281

CAUTION: Use only the thermal grease specified for this server
(UCS-CPU-GREASE=). Thermal grease for other systems may have
different thermal conductivity properties and may cause overheating if
used in the B22 M3 server. DO NOT use thermal grease available for
purchase at any commercial electronics store. If these instructions are
not followed, the CPU may overheat and be destroyed.

NOTE: When you purchase a spare CPU, the thermal grease with syringe applicator
is included.

Air Baffle Replacement Kit

Air baffles are designed to direct airflow through the server to maintain server temperature at a safe
operating level. The UCS B22 M3 server comes shipped with two identical air baffles covering the DIMM
socket areas of the server. These baffles must always remain installed during server operation. The Air
Baffle Replacement Kit includes the two (identical) air baffles needed for one UCS B22 M3 server. For
instructions on how to remove and replace the air baffles, see the following link:

Network Connectivity
This section explains how the UCS B22 M3 server connects to Fabric Interconnects using the network I/O
adapters in the UCS B22 M3 blade server and the Fabric Extender modules in the UCS 5108 blade server
chassis. The UCS B22 M3 server plugs into the front of the UCS 5108 blade server chassis. The Fabric
Extender modules plug into the back of the UCS 5108 series blade server chassis. A midplane connects the
UCS B22 M3 blade server to the Fabric Extenders. Figure 9 shows an example configuration where two 2 x
10G KR ports are routed from the VIC 1240 adapter to the Fabric Extender modules, and two 2 x 10G KR
ports are routed from the mezzanine adapter to the Fabric Extender modules.

Figure 9 UCS B22 M3 Connections to the Fabric Extenders

The server accommodates two types of network I/O adapters. One is the Cisco VIC 1240 network I/O
adapter. The other is a Cisco, Emulex, or QLogic I/O adapter or Cisco UCS Storage Accelerator mezzanine
adapter. The VIC 1240 is the only adapter that can be used in the VIC 1240 (adapter 1) slot. All other types
of adapters plug into the mezzanine (adapter 2) slot.

Cisco UCS B22 M3 Blade Server 41

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL

The network adapter options are:

■ VIC 1240 adapter. This adapter plugs into the VIC 1240 (adapter 1) slot and is natively
capable of 4x10Gb ports and 256 PCIe devices.
■ VIC 1280 Mezzanine adapter. This adapter plugs into the mezzanine (adapter 2) slot and is
capable of 4x10Gb ports in the UCS B22 M3 server, depending on the Fabric Extender chosen
(see Table 8 on page 17) and 256 PCIe devices.
■ Emulex or QLogic I/O adapter or Cisco UCS Storage Accelerator mezzanine adapter. These
adapters plug into the mezzanine (adapter 2) slot. The Cisco UCS Storage Accelerators do
not have network connectivity; instead they provide independent high-speed storage
controlled by CPU 2. See Table 7 on page 17 for descriptions.

NOTE: External bandwidth is a function of both the fabric extender and the
adapter(s) installed. With two 2204XP fabric extenders, the maximum bandwidth per
half width B22 blade is 4 x 10Gb. With two 2208XP fabric extenders, the maximum
bandwidth per half width B22 blade is 8 x 10 Gb.

VIC 1240 Adapter

The only adapter that can be plugged in to the VIC 1240 slot is the VIC 1240, a Cisco-designed PCIe-based
adapter that in the UCS B22 M3 server provides up to four (depending on the Fabric Extender option chosen)
10 Gigabit Data Center Ethernet (DCE) network interfaces.

Two ports are wired through the UCS 5108 Blade Server chassis to Fabric Extender A and to Fabric Extender
B as represented in Figure 10.

Figure 10 VIC 1240 Port Connectivity

42 Cisco UCS B22 M3 Blade Server

 SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL

Mezzanine Adapters
There are multiple options for the mezzanine slot:

■ I/O-based PCIe adapters (such as network adapters), or

■ Cisco UCS Storage Accelerators (such as memory cards)

NOTE: In a B22 M3 configured with 2 CPUs, if a UCS B22 M3 blade server does not
have a VIC 1240 installed, the mezzanine slot is required to have a network adapter
installed. In a B22 M3 configured with 1 CPU, however, a VIC 1240 must always be
installed.

Specific examples of mezzanine adapters are:

■ Cisco adapters
— VIC 1280
■ Emulex and QLogic I/O adapters
— Emulex M73KR-E
— QLogic M73KR-Q
■ Cisco UCS Storage Accelerators
— 785 GB MLC Fusion ioDrive2
— LSI 400 GB SLC WarpDrive

The following sections explain the various I/O options that are possible with the different Fabric Extenders
(Cisco UCS 2208XP, 2204XP, and 2104XP) and the VIC 1240 and mezzanine adapters.

Cisco UCS B22 M3 Blade Server 43

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL

B22 M3 Configured with 1 CPU

In a B22 M3 configured with 1 CPU, the mezzanine card slot (adapter 2 slot) is not under the control of a
CPU (in a B22 M3 configured with 2 CPUs, CPU 2 controls the adapter 2 slot). Therefore, in this
configuration, no adapter is supported in the adapter 2 slot and the VIC 1240 is always required to be
installed in the adapter 1 slot.

Connectivity using the Cisco UCS 2208XP Fabric Extender

The Cisco UCS 2208XP is the second-generation Fabric Extender, and shares the same form factor as the
current UCS 2100 series. The 2208XP is backwards compatible with the UCS 5108 Blade serve chassis.

The option shown in Figure 11 demonstrates how a 1-CPU server is connected to the Cisco UCS 2208XP. Two
ports from the VIC 1240 are channeled to 2208XP Fabric Extender A and two are channeled to 2208XP Fabric
Extender B. The result is 20 Gbps of bandwidth to each Fabric Extender.
