Summary of Cisco CSP 2100 Features

Table 1-1 lists the features of Cisco CSP 2100.

.

Table 1-1 Cisco CSP 2100 Features

Feature
Description

Chassis

One rack-unit (1RU) chassis.

Processors

Up to two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 Series processors.

Memory

24 DDR4 DIMM1 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 (CIMC) firmware.

Depending on your CIMC settings, CIMC can be accessed through the 1-Gb dedicated management port, or the 1-Gb Ethernet LOM ports.

Network and management I/O

Supported connectors:

  • One 1-Gb Ethernet dedicated management port
  • Two 1-Gb BASE-T Ethernet LAN ports
  • One RS-232 serial port (RJ-45 connector)
  • One 15-pin VGA2 connector
  • Two USB3 3.0 connectors
  • One front-panel KVM connector that is used with the KVM cable, which provides two USB 2.0, one VGA, and one serial (DB-9) connector.

Modular LOM

Dedicated socket that can be used to add an mLOM card for additional rear-panel connectivity (up to four 1-Gb or 10-Gb Ethernet ports).

WoL

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

Power

Two power supplies:

  • AC power supplies 770 W AC each.

Do not mix power supply types or wattages in Cisco CSP 2100.

Redundant as 1+1. See Power Specifications.

ACPI

The advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) 4.0 standard is supported.

Cooling

Six hot-swappable fan modules for front-to-rear cooling.

PCIe I/O

Two horizontal PCIe4 expansion slots on two risers (single riser assembly).

See Replacing a PCIe Card for specifications of the slots.

InfiniBand

The bus slots in Cisco CSP 2100 support the InfiniBand architecture.

Storage

Drives are installed into front-panel drive bays that provide hot-swappable access for SAS/SATA drives. Cisco CSP 2100 supports SFF drives, with eight-drive backplane. Cisco CSP 2100 can hold up to eight 2.5-inch hard drives or solid state drives.

Internal USB

One internal USB 3.0 port on the motherboard that you can use with a USB thumb drive for additional storage.

SD cards

Two internal bays on the motherboard for up to two SD cards.

The two flash drives can be configured in a RAID 1 configuration.

Disk Management
(RAID)

Cisco CSP 2100 has a dedicated internal riser for a PCIe-style Cisco modular RAID controller card.

RAID Backup

Cisco CSP 2100 has a mounting bracket for the supercap power module that is used with Cisco modular RAID controller card.

Video

VGA video resolution up to 1920 x 1200, 16 bpp at 60 Hz, and up to 256 MB of video memory.

1.DIMM = dual inline memory module

2.VGA = video graphics array

3.USB = universal serial bus

4.PCIe = peripheral component interconnect express
