2 Cisco HyperFlex HX220c M5 Node

 OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW
Cisco HyperFlex™ Systems unlock the full potential of hyperconvergence. The systems are based on an
end-to-end software-defined infrastructure, combining software-defined computing in the form of Cisco
Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) servers; software-defined storage with the powerful Cisco HX Data
Platform and software-defined networking with the Cisco UCS fabric that will integrate smoothly with Cisco
Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI™). Together with a single point of connectivity and hardware
management, these technologies deliver a preintegrated and adaptable cluster that is ready to provide a
unified pool of resources to power applications as your business needs dictate.

The HX220c M5 servers extend the capabilities of Cisco’s HyperFlex portfolio in a 1U form factor with the
addition of the Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family, 24 DIMM slots with configuration options ranging
from 128GB up to 3TB of DRAM, and an all flash footprint of cache and capacity drives for highly available,
high performance storage.

The latest update includes support for 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, 2933-MHz DDR4
memory.

The Cisco HyperFlex HX220c M5 Node is shown in Figure 1.

STEP 8 ORDER POWER SUPPLY

Power supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot-plug and
tool-less installation into HX220c M5 Nodes. Each power supply is certified for high-efficiency
operation and offers multiple power output options. This allows users to “right-size” based on
server configuration, which improves power efficiency, lower overall energy costs and avoid
stranded capacity in the data center. Use the power calculator at the following link to
determine the needed power based on the options chosen (CPUs, drives, memory, and so on):

http://ucspowercalc.cisco.com

Select one or two power supplies from the list in Table 11.

STEP 11 ORDER SECURITY DEVICES (OPTIONAL)

A 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.

A chassis intrusion switch gives a notification of any unauthorized mechanical access into the
server.

The security device ordering information is listed in Table 13.

NOTE:
■ The TPM module used in this system conforms to TPM v1.2 and 2.0, as defined
by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG). It is also SPI-based.
■ TPM installation is supported after-factory. However, a TPM installs with a
one-way screw and cannot be replaced, upgraded, or moved to another server. If
a server with a TPM is returned, the replacement server must be ordered with a
new TPM.

UCS Drive Retention Service

With the Cisco Drive Retention Service, you can obtain a new disk drive in exchange for a faulty
drive without returning the faulty drive.

Sophisticated data recovery techniques have made classified, proprietary, and confidential
information vulnerable, even on malfunctioning disk drives. The Drive Retention 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.

Cisco HyperFlex HX220c M5 Node 41

CONFIGURING the HyperFlex HX220c M5 Node

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 the above tables (where
available)

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

Local Language Technical Support for UCS

Where available, and subject to an additional fee, local language support for calls on all assigned
severity levels may be available for specific product(s) – see tables above.

 OPTIONAL STEP - ORDER RACK(s)

OPTIONAL STEP - ORDER RACK(s)

The optional R42612 rack is available from Cisco for the C-Series servers, including the HX220c M5 Node.
This rack is a standard 19-inch rack and can be ordered with a variety of options, as listed in Table 24.
Racks are shipped separately from the HX220c M5 Node.

Table 24 Racks and Rack Options

Product ID (PID) PID Description

RACK2-UCS Cisco R42612 expansion rack, no side panels. 

This type of rack is used for multiple-rack deployments.
RACK2-UCS2 Cisco R42612 static (standard) rack, with side panels. 

This type of rack is used for single-rack and end of row deployments. Side panels
are needed for racks at the ends of multiple-rack deployments. For example,
when configuring a row of 5 racks, order 1 standard rack plus 4 expansion racks.
Apply the side panels from the standard rack to the racks at each end of the row.
RACK-BLANK-001 Blanking panels (qty 12), 1U, plastic, toolless.

Recommended to ensure proper airflow. Fill all empty RU spaces in the front of
the rack. Because each blanking panel PID includes 12 panels, use the following
calculation: 42RU - occupied RU = available RU. Divide available RU by 12 to
determine PID order quantity.
RACK-CBLMGT-001 Cable mgt D rings (qty 10), metal.

Use the D rings to bundle system cables to ensure proper airflow.
RACK-CBLMGT-003 Brush strip (qty 1), 1 U.

The brush strip promotes proper airflow while allowing cables to be passed from
the front to the rear of the rack.
RACK-CBLMGT-011 Cable mgt straps (qty 10), Velcro.

Use the Velcro straps to bundle system cables to ensure proper airflow.
RACK-FASTEN-001 Mounting screws (qty 100), M6.

The rack ships with nuts and screws, but extras may be ordered.
RACK-FASTEN-002 Cage nuts (qty 50), M6.

The rack ships with nuts and screws, but extras may be ordered.
RACK2-JOIN-001 Rack joining kit.

Use the kit to connect adjacent racks within a row. Order 1 unit less than the
number of racks in the row.
RACK2-GRND-001 Cisco R42612 grounding kit

Hyperconverged Systems
Cisco HyperFlex Systems let you unlock the full potential of hyperconvergence and adapt IT to the needs of
your workloads. The systems use an end-to-end software-defined infrastructure approach, combining
software-defined computing in the form of Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series nodes; software-defined storage with
the powerful Cisco HX Data Platform; and software-defined networking with the Cisco UCS fabric that will
integrate smoothly with Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI). Together with a single point of
connectivity and management, these technologies deliver a preintegrated and adaptable cluster with a
unified pool of resources that you can quickly deploy, adapt, scale, and manage to efficiently power your
applications and your business.

PDUs
Cisco RP Series Power Distribution Units (PDUs) offer power distribution with branch circuit protection.

Cisco RP Series PDU models distribute power to up to 42 outlets. The architecture organizes power
distribution, simplifies cable management, and enables you to move, add, and change rack equipment
without an electrician.

With a Cisco RP Series PDU in the rack, you can replace up to two dozen input power cords with just one.
The fixed input cord connects to the power source from overhead or under-floor distribution. Your IT
equipment is then powered by PDU outlets in the rack using short, easy-to-manage power cords.

The C-series severs accept the zero-rack-unit (0RU) or horizontal PDU. See Cisco RP-Series Rack and Rack
PDU specification for more details at
