Overview

Overview

This document includes information of components that may not be included in the Cloud Services Platform (CSP) 5200 such as, DC Power supplies, and NVMe drives.

The CSP 5200 platform currently supports:

Small form-factor (SFF) drives, with 10-drive backplane. Supports up to 10 2.5 in. (6.35 cm) SAS/SATA drives. Although there are ten disk drive-bays, only eight are used. This usage is because the CSP platform uses RAID 10, which uses disks in multiple of fours.

External Features

This topic shows the external features of the server versions.

Summary of Server Features

The following table lists a summary of server features.

Feature

Description

Chassis

One rack-unit (1RU) chassis

Central Processor

Up to two CPUs from the Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family. This includes CPUs from the following series:

  • Intel Xeon Silver 4XXX Processors

  • Intel Xeon Gold 5XXX Processors

  • Intel Xeon Gold 6XXX Processors

Memory

24 DDR4 DIMM sockets on the motherboard (12 each CPU)

Multi-bit error protection

Multi-bit error protection is supported

Baseboard management

BMC, running Cisco Integrated Management Controller (Cisco IMC) firmware.

Depending on your Cisco IMC settings, Cisco IMC can be accessed through the 1-Gb dedicated management port, the 1-Gb/10-Gb Ethernet LAN ports, or a Cisco virtual interface card.

Network and management I/O

Rear panel:

  • One 1-Gb Ethernet dedicated management port (RJ-45 connector)

  • Two 1-Gb/10-Gb BASE-T Ethernet LAN ports (RJ-45 connectors)

    The dual LAN ports can support 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps, depending on the link partner capability.

  • One RS-232 serial port (RJ-45 connector)

  • One VGA video connector port (DB-15 connector)

  • Two USB 3.0 ports

Front panel:

  • One front-panel keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) connector that is used with the KVM cable, which provides two USB 2.0, one VGA, and one DB-9 serial connector.

Modular LOM

One dedicated socket (x16 PCIe lane) that can be used to add an mLOM card for additional rear-panel connectivity.

WoL

The two 1-Gb/10-Gb BASE-T Ethernet LAN ports support the wake-on-LAN (WoL) standard.
