Cisco UCS M2814 Compute Cartridge
Cisco UCS M-Series Compute Cartridge
Cisco UCS® M-Series Modular Servers are designed to meet the high-density demands of massively parallelized
and cloud-scale applications. The unique design of the Cisco UCS M4308 Modular Chassis uses Cisco System
Link technology to provide infrastructure resources to the Cisco UCS M-Series compute cartridges, including
power, cooling, I/O, and local disk - all managed within the stateless computing environment of Cisco UCS
Manager.
The Cisco UCS M2814 Compute Cartridge (Figure 1) is a dual-socket server using Intel® Xeon® processor
E5-2600 v3 or v4 CPUs, with up to 512 GB of DDR4 2133 or 2400 MHz memory. The Cisco UCS M2814 cartridge
enables ultra-dense virtual deployments as well as cloud infrastructure applications that benefit from a high
memory-to-core ratio and applications that use the large Layer 2 CPU cache, such as dynamic web content
delivery and small in-memory databases.

Product Overview
The Cisco UCS M2814 Compute Cartridge loads directly into the front of the Cisco UCS M4308 Modular Chassis.
This chassis can hold up to four Cisco UCS M2814 cartridges. The system and domain discovery of all cartridges,
as well as centralized unified management, is provided by Cisco UCS Manager, which comes embedded on the
Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects.

Up to 512 GB DDR4 2133 or 2400 MHz memory
The Cisco UCS M4308 chassis is physically cabled to the Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects. The fabric
interconnects provide the management and communication backbone for the chassis and the installed compute
cartridges. Up to 20 Cisco UCS M4308 chassis and the associated cartridges can be attached to a pair of fabric
interconnects and managed as part of a single domain.
Table 1 summarizes the features and benefits of the Cisco UCS M2814 Compute Cartridge.
Table 1.
Features and Benefits
Feature
Benefit
Up to four Cisco UCS M2814 servers in a 2RU chassis and up to
80 servers (1600 cores) in a single data center rack
The industry-leading server density offered by the Cisco UCS M-Series
results in significant cost savings for data center customers deploying
applications that benefit from a high memory-to-core ratio and large Layer
2 cache.
Unified management integrating servers, network, and storage
provided by the proven Cisco UCS Manager
Cisco UCS Manager provides a single management interface for all
hardware and software components of a Cisco UCS domain. The manager
manages up to 20 M-Series chassis, using Cisco SingleConnect
technology to consolidate network, storage, and management traffic. With
Cisco UCS Central Software, management can be extended globally to
thousands of servers in multiple domains.
Policy-based provisioning and management enabled by Cisco
UCS service profiles
Cisco UCS Service profiles revolutionize server deployment and enable a
flexible, stateless computing environment that reduces total cost of
ownership (TCO) and increases business agility.
Modular chassis
The M-Series enhances serviceability by providing easy tool-free
replacement options for almost all field-replaceable units (FRUs), thereby
reducing or eliminating downtime.
Reduced power consumption per server
The M-Series uses shared local resources to optimize performance per
watt.
