Cisco UCS C420 M3 Rack Server 

Product Overview 

The Cisco UCS

®

 C420 M3 Rack Server (Figure 1) is a high-density, 4-socket, 2-rack-unit (2RU) rack server 

designed for computing, I/O, storage, and memory-intensive standalone applications. The Cisco UCS C420 M3 

extends the capabilities of the Cisco Unified Computing System

™

 (Cisco UCS) using Intel Xeon processor E5-4600 

Series multicore processors to deliver increased performance and efficiency. 

The Cisco UCS C420 M3 is part of the Cisco UCS solution, which combines rack and blade servers with 

networking and storage access into a single unified system. Centrally configured through unified, model-based 

management, Cisco UCS simplifies and accelerates deployment of enterprise-class applications running in bare-

metal, virtualized, and cloud-computing environments. 

Designed for enterprise-class performance and scalability, the Cisco UCS C420 M3 combines the advantages of 

4-socket computing with the cost-effective Intel Xeon processor E5-4600 product family for demanding 

virtualization, database, and high-end high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. The dense and expandable 

Cisco UCS C420 M3 is a balanced, high-performance platform that complements the Cisco UCS Rack Server 

portfolio. The 2RU Cisco UCS C420 M3 supports 48 DIMM slots, 16 disk drives, seven PCIe expansion slots, and 

four 1 Gigabit Ethernet LAN-on-motherboard (LOM) ports. It uses unique Cisco UCS and virtual interface card 

(VIC) technology and delivers one-wire participation in Cisco UCS domains. The Cisco UCS C420 M3 interfaces 

with Cisco UCS using another Cisco innovation: the Cisco UCS VIC 1225. The Cisco UCS VIC 1225 is a dual-port 

Enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)-

capable PCI Express (PCIe) card designed exclusively for Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers. It incorporates 
Cisco’s next-generation converged network adapter (CNA), providing investment protection for feature releases. 

The card enables a policy-based, stateless, agile server infrastructure that can present up to 256 PCIe standards-

compliant interfaces to the host that can be dynamically configured as either network interface cards (NICs) or host 

bus adapters (HBAs). In addition, the Cisco UCS VIC 1225 supports Cisco

®

 Data Center Virtual Machine Fabric 

Extender (VM-FEX) technology, which extends the Cisco UCS fabric interconnect ports to virtual machines, 

simplifying server virtualization deployment.
