Memory Configurations Features and Modes

System speed is dependent on the CPU DIMM speed support. Refer to Available CPUs on page
10 for DIMM speeds.
■ The B200 M5 server supports the following memory reliability, availability, and serviceability
(RAS) modes:
— Independent Channel Mode
— Mirrored Channel Mode
■ Below are the system level RAS Mode combination limitations:
— Mixing of Independent and Lockstep channel mode is not allowed per platform.
— Mixing of Non-Mirrored and Mirrored mode is not allowed per platform.
— Mixing of Lockstep and Mirrored mode is not allowed per platform.
— Do not mix RDIMMs, LRDIMMs, or TSV-RDIMMs.
— Single-rank DIMMs can be mixed with dual-rank DIMMs in the same channel
■ For best performance, observe the following:
— DIMMs with different timing parameters can be installed on different slots within the
same channel, but only timings that support the slowest DIMM will be applied to all.
As a consequence, faster DIMMs will be operated at timings supported by the slowest
DIMM populated.
— When one DIMM is used, it must be populated in DIMM slot 1 (farthest away from the
CPU) of a given channel.
— When single- or dual-rank DIMMs are populated in two DIMMs per channel (2DPC)
configurations, always populate the higher number rank DIMM first (starting from
the farthest slot). For a 2DPC example, first populate with dual-rank DIMMs in DIMM
slot 1. Then populate single-rank DIMMs in DIMM 2 slot.
■ DIMMs for CPU 1 and CPU 2 (when populated) must always be configured identically.
■ Cisco memory from previous generation servers (DDR3 and DDR4) is not compatible with the
UCS B200 M5 Blade.

■ Memory can be configured in any number of DIMMs as pairs, although for optimal
performance, see the document at the following link:
https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/ucs-
c-series-rack-servers/memory-guide-c220-c240-b200-m5.pdf.
■ For additional information, refer to Memory Configuration and Mirroring on page 50.

See Table 9 for PMEM memory modes.
Table 9 Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory Modes
Intel® Persistent Memory Modes
App Direct Mode: PMEM operates as a solid-state disk storage device. Data is saved and is
non-volatile. Both PMEM and DIMM capacity counts towards CPU tiering
(both PMEM and DIMM capacities count towards the CPU capacity limit)
Memory Mode:1 PMEM operates as a 100% memory module. Data is volatile and DRAM acts
as a cache for PMEMs. Only PMEM capacity counts towards CPU tiering
(only the PMEM capacity counts towards the CPU capacity limit). This is
the factory default mode.
Mix Mode: DRAM as cache. Only PMEM capacity counts towards CPU tiering (only the
PMEM capacity counts towards the CPU capacity limit).
Notes:
1. For Memory Mode, the Intel-recommended DIMM to PMEM capacity ratio in the same CPU channel is from 1:2 to
1:16. So if you use a 128 GB DIMM in a channel, you could use a 512 GB PMEM for a 1:4 capacity ratio. If you use
a 32 GB DIMM in a channel, you could use a 512 GB PMEM for a 1:16 capacity ratio. There are several other
combinations possible

See Table 10 for how to populate combinations of DIMMs and PMEMs.

Notes:
1. A Storage Controller is required for installing local drives (HDD, SSD, NVMe) on the B200 M5.
2. For hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs), a Cisco FlexStorage 12G SAS RAID Controller
is required.
3. The Cisco FlexStorage 12G SAS RAID Controller is based on the LSI 3108 ROC and runs the iMegaRAID
software stack. It provides 12 Gbps RAID functionality for SAS/SATA SSD/HDD and has RAID 0, 1 and
JBOD support.If supercapacitor needs to be replaced, it can be done so by ordering
UCSB-MRAID-SC=. See Installation Document for instructions.
4. The Cisco FlexStorage 12G SAS RAID controller with 2 GB Flash-backed write cache is based on the
LSI 3108 ROC and runs the LSI MegaRAID software stack. It provides 12 Gbps RAID Functionality for
SAS/SATA HDD/SSD and has RAID 0, 1, 5 and 6 Support. If supercapacitor needs to be replaced, it
can be done so by ordering UCSB-MRAID-SC=. See Installation Document for instructions
The flash-backed write cache provides RAID controller cache protection using NAND flash memory and a
supercapacitor. In the event of a power or server failure, cached data is automatically transferred from the
RAID controller DRAM write cache to flash. Once power is restored, the data in the NAND flash is copied back
into the DRAM write cache until it can be flushed to the disk drives.
5. For NVMe, the Cisco FlexStorage NVMe Passthrough module is required.

6. For servers that do not need local storage, and where no storage controllers are included, storage
blanking panels are auto-included as a part of the ordering configuration rules. In order for the UCS
B200 M5 to function properly and not overheat, drive blanks must be installed if no storage
controller or GPU is used.
7. For GPU P6, maximum cards per node supported is two

internal SATA drives supported is six. To support greater than six internal drives, a Cisco 12G
Raid Controller or a Cisco 12G SAS HBA must be ordered

STEP 10 CHOOSE OPTIONAL TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a computer chip or microcontroller that can securely store
artifacts used to authenticate the platform or 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.
Table 20 Available TPM Option
UCSX-TPM2-001 Trusted Platform Module 1.2 for UCS (SPI-based)
UCSX-TPM2-002 Trusted Platform Module 2.0 for UCS servers
UCSX-TPM2-002B Trusted Platform Module2.0 M5 UCS svr (FIPS 140-2 Compliant)
NOTE:
1. 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.
■ 2. 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. If there is no existing
TPM in the server, you can install TPM 2.0. Refer to the following document for Installation
location and instructions: Cisco UCS B200 M5 Server Installation Guide.

STEP 11 CHOOSE OPTIONAL INTERNAL USB 3.0 DRIVE

You may order one optional internal USB 3.0 drive. The USB drive ordering information is listed

Memory Configuration and Mirroring

When the Memory Mirroring PID (N01-MMIRROR) is selected in Table 6 Available DDR4 DIMMs
and PMEMs, page 16, the DIMMS will be placed as shown in Table 32 on page 52 by the factory
Each CPU has six DIMM channels:
■ CPU1 has channels A, B, C, D, E, and F

■ CPU2 has channels G, H, J, K, L, and M
Each DIMM channel has two slots: slot 1 and slot 2. The blue-colored DIMM slots are for slot 1 and
the black slots for slot 2.
As an example, DIMM slots A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, and F1 belong to slot 1, while A2, B2, C2, D2, E2,
and F2 belong to slot 2.
Figure 6 shows how slots and channels are physically laid out on the motherboard. The DIMM slots
on the right half of the motherboard (channels A, B, C, D, E, and F) are associated with CPU 1,
while the DIMM slots on the left half of the motherboard (channels G, H, J, K, L, and M) are
associated with CPU 2. The slot 1 (blue) DIMM slots are always located farther away from a CPU
than the corresponding slot 2 (black) slots.
Figure 6 Physical Layout of CPU DIMM Channels and Slots
For all allowable DIMM populations, please refer to the “Memory Population Guidelines” section
of the B200 M5 Installation Guide, at the following link:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/hw/blade-servers/B200M5.p
df
For more details, see the Cisco UCS C220/C240/B200 M5 memory Guide at the following link:
https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/ucs-c-se
ries-rack-servers/memory-guide-c220-c240-b200-m5.pdf
When considering the memory configuration of your server, consider the following items:
■ Each channel has two DIMM slots (for example, channel A = slots A1 and A2).
— A channel can operate with one or two DIMMs installed.
■ When both CPUs are installed, populate the DIMM slots of each CPU identically.
■ Any DIMM installed in a DIMM socket for which the CPU is absent is not recognized.

■ Observe the DIMM mixing rules shown in Table 31.
Table 31 DIMM Rules for B200 M5 Servers
DIMM Parameter DIMMs in the Same Channel DIMM in the Same Slot1
DIMM Capacity DIMMs in the same channel (for For best performance, DIMMs in
example, A1 and A2) can have the same slot (for example, A1,

LRDIMMs
Notes:
1. Although different DIMM capacities can exist in the same slot, this will result in less than optimal performance.
For optimal performance, all DIMMs in the same slot should be identical.
■ The DIMM/PMEM guidelines are as follows:

— All DDR4 DIMMs populated in the DIMM slots must be the same size.
— If you select any PMEMs, you must also select two CPUs and 12 DIMMs. You can have
4, 8, or 12 PMEMs, but you must select 12 DIMMs any time you select PMEMs.
— PMEMs populated in the DIMM slots must all be the same size. PMEM size mixing is
not allowed (for example, you cannot mix 512 GB and 128 GB PMEMs within the
same server).
— You cannot select more than 1024 GB of PMEM memory per CPU for non “L” series
CPUs.
— The PMEMs run at 2666 MHz. If you have 2933-MHz RDIMMs or LRDIMMs in the server
and you add PMEMs, the main memory speed clocks down to 2666 MHz to match the
speed of the PMEMs.
— The recommended DIMM:PMEM capacity ratio is from 1:2 through 1:16.
— Both PMEM operational modes (App Direct and Memory Mode) are compatible with
the B200 M5.
— Using non-Cisco supported hardware configurations may result in slower
performance or a non-supported warning during bootup.

Memory Mirroring
When Memory Mirroring PID (N01-MMIRROR) is selected in STEP 3 CHOOSE MEMORY, page 15,
the DIMMS will be placed by the factory as shown in the Table 32.
■ Select 4, 6, 8, or 12 identical DIMMS per CPU.
■ If only 1 CPU is selected, please refer only to the CPU 1 DIMM placement columns in the
