OVERVIEWOVERVIEWDesigned for demanding virtualization and database workloads, the UCS B480 M5 combines a large memoryfootprint with four-socket scalability, leveraging the Intel Xeon Scalable processor family of CPUs. TheUCS B480 M5 supports 2666-MHz and 2933-MHz DDR4 memory and utilizes UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC)technology to achieve up to 160 Gb/s aggregate I/O bandwidth, all in a dense, full-width blade form factor.The UCS B480 M5 maintains memory performance even as capacity grows and can support up to 6 TB ofmemory without compromise to CPU speed or core count. Up to four UCS B480 M5 Blade Servers can beinstalled in the UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis.The July 2019 update includes the following: 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors. 2933-MHz GB DDR4 memory DIMMs. 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB Intel Persistent Memory Modules (PMEM). Up to 18 TB of memory is available if the memory slots are populated as follows:—24 x 256 GB DDR4 DIMMs—24 x 512 GB PMEMsThe UCS B480 M5 Blade Server is centrally managed using Cisco UCS Manager. Cisco UCSM provides a singlemanagement interface for all hardware and software.e components of a UCS domain. Cisco UCSM manages up to 160 servers, using Single Connect Technology toconsolidate network, storage, and management traffic. With Cisco UCS Central, management can beextended globally to ‘of servers in multiple domains.Figure 1Cisco UCS B480 M5 Blade ServerCisco UCS B480 M5 Blade Server2

BASE SERVER STANDARD CAPABILITIES and FEATURESBASE SERVER STANDARD CAPABILITIES and FEATURESTable 1 lists the capabilities and features of the base server. Details about how to configure the server fora particular feature or capability (for example, number of processors, disk drives, or amount of memory)are provided in CONFIGURING the SERVER on page 6.NOTE: The B480 M5 blade server requires UCS Manager (UCSM) to operate as part ofthe UCS system. The B480 M5 with the Intel Xeon Scalable processor family of CPUs requiresUCSM 3.2(2) or later release, and with the 2nd Generation Intel ScalableProcessors, UCSM 4.0(4b) is required.Table 1 Capabilities and FeaturesCapability/FeatureDescriptionBlade server chassisThe full-width UCS B480 M5 Blade Server mounts in a Cisco UCS 5108 seriesblade server chassis.CPUTwo or four Intel Xeon Scalable family CPUs or two or four 2nd GenerationIntel Xeon Scalable family CPUsChipsetIntel C621 series chipset (Lewisburg)Memory48 total DIMM slotsI/O Support for Advanced ECC Support for registered ECC DIMMs (RDIMMs) Support for load-reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs) Support for through-silicon via DIMMs (TSV DIMMs) Support for Intel Persistent Memory Modules (PMEMs)Five configurable mezzanine slots: One rear mLOM slot supports the Cisco VIC 1440 only.NOTE: The Cisco VIC 1400 Series (1440 and 1480) is compatible with6200 and 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects as well as the 2204XP, 2208XP, 2304, and 2408XP Fabric Extenders.

CONFIGURING the SERVERDIMM Memory MirroringWhen memory mirroring is enabled, the memory subsystem simultaneously writes identical data to twoadjacent channels. If a memory read from one of the channels returns incorrect data due to anuncorrectable memory error, the system automatically retrieves the data from the other channel. Atransient or soft error in one channel does not affect the mirrored data, and operation continues unlessthere is a simultaneous error in exactly the same location on a DIMM and its mirrored DIMM. Memorymirroring reduces the amount of memory available to the operating system by 50% because only one of thetwo populated channels provides data.CPU Configuration Without Memory MirroringSelect from 4, 6, 8, or 12 DIMMs per CPU (DIMMs for all four CPUs must be configured identically).

CONFIGURING the SERVERMemory Configurations and ModesDIMM Guidelines System speed is dependent on the CPU DIMM speed support. Refer to Table 5 on page 16 forDIMM Speeds The B480 M5 server supports four different memory reliability, availability, andserviceability (RAS) modes:—Independent Channel Mode—Mirrored Channel Mode—Lockstep Channel Mode—Rank Sparing ModeNOTE: Mixing of Non-Mirrored and Mirrored mode is not allowed. Do not mix RDIMMs, LRDIMMs, and 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 thesame 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 slowestDIMM populated.—When one DIMM is used, it must be populated in DIMM slot 1 (farthest away from theCPU) of a given channel.—When single or dual rank DIMMs are populated for 2DPC, always populate the highernumber rank DIMM first (starting from the farthest slot). For a 2DPC example, firstpopulate with dual rank DIMMs in the DIMM slot 1. Then single-rank DIMMs in theDIMM 2 slot. DIMMs for all four CPUs must always be configured identically. Cisco memory from previous generation servers (DDR3 and DDR4) is not compatible with UCSB480 M5 Blade.NOTE: System performance is optimized when the DIMM type and quantity are equalfor both CPUs, and when all channels are filled equally across the CPUs in the server. 21Memory can be configured in any number of DIMMs as pairs, though for optimalperformance, refer to the B480 Memory Guide at Cisco.com.Cisco UCS B480 M5 Blade Server
CONFIGURING the SERVERPMEM GuidelinesPMEMs require second generation Intel Xeon Scalable Family processors. First generation XeonScalable processors do not support PMEMs. All installed PMEMs must be the same size. Mixing PMEMs of different capacities is not supported. The use of 1Rx8 DIMMs with PMEMs is not supported.PMEMs and DIMMs must be populated as shown in Table 8 (6 DIMMs per CPU with 2, 4, or 6 PMEMsper CPU, as shown).
