2 Cisco HyperFlex Express HX240C M6 All NVMe, All Flash and Hybrid Server
 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 Cisco HyperFlex Express HX240C M6 All NVMe/All Flash/Hybrid Server Nodes extends the capabilities of
Cisco’s HyperFlex portfolio in a 2U form factor with the addition of the 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable
Processors (Ice Lake), 16 DIMM slots per CPU for 3200-MHz DDR4 DIMMs with DIMM capacity points up to 64
GB. The maximum memory capacity for 2 CPUs is listed here:

■ 2 TB (32 x 64 GB DDR4 DIMMs)

There are three servers to choose from:

■ HXAF240C-M6SN-EXP (All NVMe) (see Figure 1 on page 4):

■ Up to 24 front NVMe (only) drives.
■ HXAF240C-M6SX-EXP (All Flash) (see Figure 1 on page 5):
■ Up to 24 front SFF SAS/SATA SSDs and NVMe caching drive.
■ HX240C-M6SX-EXP (Hybrid) (see Figure 1 on page 5):
■ Up to 24 front SFF SAS/SATA HDDs and SSDs

Drive Controller

The server provides one or two internal slots (depending on the server type) for the following:

■ Two slots for Cisco 12G SAS pass-through HBAs. Each HBA controls up to 16 SAS/SATA drives

NOTE: PCIe drives are controlled directly from the CPUs.

The HyperFlex Express HX240C M6 All NVMe/All Flash/Hybrid Server Nodes has two LOM ports (10Gbase-T
LOM) and a single 1 GbE management port. A modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM) module provides up to
two 100 GbE ports. A connector on the front of the chassis provides KVM functionality.

See Figure 1 on page 4 for front and rear views of all the configurations of the HyperFlex Express HX240C
M6 All NVMe/All Flash/Hybrid Server Nodes.

STEP 5 ORDER POWER SUPPLY

Power supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot-plug and
tool-less installation into M6 HyperFlex Express M6 servers. 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, lowers overall
energy costs and avoids 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):

Notes:
1. The 2300 W power supply uses a different power connector that the rest of the power supplies, so you must
use different power cables to connect it. See Table 11 on page 36 and Table 12 on page 39.

NOTE: In a server with two power supplies, both power supplies must be identical.

STEP 6 SELECT INPUT POWER CORD(s)

Using Table 11 and Table 12, select the appropriate AC power cords. You can select a minimum
of no power cords and a maximum of two. If you select the option R2XX-DMYMPWRCORD, no
power cord is shipped with the server.

NOTE: Table 11 lists the power cords for servers that use power supplies less than
2300 W. Table 12 lists the power cords for servers that use 2300 W power supplies.
Note that the power cords for 2300 W power supplies use a C19 connector so they
only fit the 2300 W power supply connector.

STEP 9 SELECT SERVICE and SUPPORT LEVEL

A variety of service options are available, as described in this section.

HyperFlex Warranty, No Contract

If you have noncritical implementations and choose to have no service contract, the following
coverage is supplied:

■ Three-year parts coverage.

■ Next business day (NBD) onsite parts replacement eight hours a day, five days a week.
■ 90-day software warranty on media.
■ Ongoing downloads of BIOS, drivers, and firmware updates.
■ UCSM updates for systems with Unified Computing System Manager. These updates include
minor enhancements and bug fixes that are designed to maintain the compliance of UCSM
with published specifications, release notes, and industry standards.

Smart Net Total Care (SNTC)

For support of the entire HyperFlex System, Cisco offers the Cisco Smart Net Total Care Service.
This service provides expert software and hardware support to help sustain performance and
high availability of the unified computing environment. Access to Cisco Technical Assistance
Center (TAC) is provided around the clock, from anywhere in the world.

For systems that include Unified Computing System Manager, the support service includes
downloads of UCSM upgrades. The Cisco Smart Net Total Care Service includes flexible hardware
replacement options, including replacement in as little as two hours. There is also access to
Cisco's extensive online technical resources to help maintain optimal efficiency and uptime of
the unified computing environment. For more information please refer to the following url:

UPGRADING or REPLACING CPUs

NOTE: Before servicing any CPU, do the following:
■ Decommission and power off the server.
■ Slide the HyperFlex Express HX240C M6 All NVMe/All Flash/Hybrid Server Nodes
out from the rack.
■ Remove the top cover.

To replace an existing CPU, follow these steps:

(1) Have the following tools and materials available for the procedure:

■ T-30 Torx driver—Supplied with replacement CPU.

■ #1 flat-head screwdriver—Supplied with replacement CPU.
■ CPU assembly tool—Supplied with replacement CPU. Can be ordered separately as Cisco PID
UCS-CPUAT=.
■ Heatsink cleaning kit—Supplied with replacement CPU. Can be ordered separately as Cisco
PID UCSX-HSCK=.
■ Thermal interface material (TIM)—Syringe supplied with replacement CPU. Can be ordered
separately as Cisco PID UCS-CPU-TIM=.

(2) Order the appropriate replacement CPU from Table 5 on page 29:

Carefully remove and replace the CPU and heatsink in accordance with the instructions found in
“M5 server Installation and Service Guide” found at:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C240M5/install/C240M
5/C240M5_chapter_010.html?bookSearch=true#concept_bfk_kwp_hz

To add a new CPU, follow these steps:

(1) Have the following tools and materials available for the procedure:

■ T-30 Torx driver—Supplied with new CPU.

■ #1 flat-head screwdriver—Supplied with new CPU
■ CPU assembly tool—Supplied with new CPU.Can be ordered separately as Cisco PID
UCS-CPUAT=
■ Thermal interface material (TIM)—Syringe supplied with replacement CPU.Can be ordered
separately as Cisco PID UCS-CPU-TIM=

(2) Order the appropriate new CPU from Table 5 on page 29

(3) Order one heat sink for each new CPU. Order PID UCSC-HSHP-240M6= for servers with no
GPU. Order PID UCSC-HSLP-M6= for servers with GPUs.

Carefully install the CPU and heatsink in accordance with the instructions found in “M5 server
Installation and Service Guide,” found at:

UPGRADING or REPLACING MEMORY

NOTE: Before servicing any DIMM do the following:
■ Decommission and power off the server.
■ Remove the top cover from the server
■ Slide the server out the front of the chassis.

To add or replace DIMMs, follow these steps:

Step 1 Open both DIMM connector latches.

Step 2 Press evenly on both ends of the DIMM until it clicks into place in its slot

Note: Ensure that the notch in the DIMM aligns with the slot. If the notch is misaligned, it is
possible to damage the DIMM, the slot, or both.

Step 3 Press the DIMM connector latches inward slightly to seat them fully.

Step 4 Populate all slots with a DIMM or DIMM blank. A slot cannot be empty.
