Description

The UCS S3260 is a modular 4RU storage-optimised server chassis from the Cisco UCS S-Series Storage Servers family. This UCSS-S3260 SKU is the base chassis only, supplied with one rail kit and bezel, and is built to hold up to two server nodes for high-availability, high-capacity storage deployments such as big data, backup and data protection, software-defined storage and scale-out unstructured data repositories.

The chassis supports up to 56 top-accessible hot-swap 3.5-inch NL-SAS HDDs or up to 28 SAS SSDs, with up to four additional rear 3.5-inch drives via the disk expansion module, for up to 1,080 TB of local storage. Each M5 server node takes dual 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors with up to 48 cores and up to 1.5 TB of DDR4 memory. Up to two system I/O controllers are supported, using the onboard VIC 1300 with 2 x 40G QSFP ports or the PCIe-based VIC 1455 and VIC 1495. The chassis takes four hot-swap 1050 W 80 PLUS Platinum power supplies in 3+1 redundancy. Server nodes, drives, system I/O controllers and power supplies are selected separately to suit the build.

Management is through the integrated Cisco IMC or Cisco UCS Manager (UCSM 3.2.3 or later with 6200 or 6300 Fabric Interconnects). The chassis fits a standard 32-inch deep rack.
