Cisco HyperFlex HX240 M6 Edge All Flash and Hybrid Server 4

 OVERVIE

OVERVIEW
Cisco HyperFlex Edge Systems are optimized for remote sites, branch offices, and edge environments. As a
smaller form factor of Cisco HyperFlex, Cisco HyperFlex Edge keeps the full power of a next generation
hyperconverged platform even without connecting to Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects. Cisco HyperFlex
Edge Systems support a variable configuration of 2, 3, or 4 HX converged nodes and supports the scale up
of CPU, memory, and storage capacity (hot-add additional capacity drives).
NOTE: HX220 M6 Edge requires Cisco Intersight for cluster deployment and ongoing management.
HyperFlex Edge operates using existing top of rack 1GE or 10/25GE switching with options for both single
and dual switch configurations. Edge clusters are configured with replication factor 2 (RF2) to ensure
availability during various failure scenarios. HyperFlex Edge is typically deployed in environments with a
minimal infrastructure footprint, hence the use of UCS compute-only nodes is not supported.

The Cisco HyperFlex HX220 M6 Edge All Flash/Hybrid Server Nodes extends the capabilities of Cisco’s
HyperFlex portfolio in a 1U form factor with the addition of the 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors
(Ice Lake), 16 DIMM slots per CPU for 3200-MHz DDR4 DIMMs with DIMM capacity points up to 128 GB. The
maximum memory capacity for 2 CPUs is listed here:

■ 4 TB (32 x 128 GB DDR4 DIMMs)

There are several drive and rear riser configurations:

Drives

There are two servers to choose from:

■ HXAF-E-220M6S (All Flash) (see Figure 1 on page 5):

■ Up to 10 front SFF SAS/SATA SSDs only.
■ HX-E-220M6S (Hybrid) (see Figure 1 on page 5):
■ Up to 10 front SFF SAS/SATA HDDs and SSDs.

Rear PCIe Risers

■ One to three half-height PCIe risers, or
■ One to two full-height PCIe risers.

The server provides an internal slot for one of the following:

■ Cisco 12G SAS pass-through HBA to control SAS/SATA drives.

NOTE: PCIe drives are controlled directly from the CPUs

The HX220 M6 Edge All Flash/Hybrid Server Nodes has two LOM ports (10Gbase-T LOM) and a single 1 GbE
management port. A modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM) module provides up to two 100 GbE ports. A
connector on the front of the chassis provides KVM functionality.
See Figure 1 on page 5 for front and rear views of the HX220 M6 Edge All Flash/Hybrid Server Nodes.

NOTE:
■ System performance is optimized when the DIMM type and quantity are equal
for both CPUs, and when all channels are filled equally across the CPUs in the
server.
■ The selected DIMMs must be all of same type and number of DIMMs must be
equal for both CPUs.
■ HyperFlex Data Platform reserves memory for each controller VM. Refer to the
<Install Guide> for reservation details.
■ The memory mirroring feature is not supported with HyperFlex nodes.

Memory Configurations, Features

System speed is dependent on the CPU DIMM speed support. Refer to Available CPUs, page 20
for DIMM speeds.

■ The server supports the following memory reliability, availability, and serviceability
(RAS) BIOS options (only one option can be chosen):
— Adaptive Double Device Data Correction (ADDDC) (default).
— Maximum performance.
■ For best performance, observe the following:
— When one DIMM is used, it must be populated in DIMM slot 1 (farthest away from
the CPU) of a given channel.
— When single- or dual-rank DIMMs are populated in two DIMMs per channel (2DPC)
configurations, always populate the higher number rank DIMM first (starting from
the farthest slot). For a 2DPC example, first populate with dual-rank DIMMs in
DIMM slot 1. Then populate single-rank DIMMs in DIMM 2 slot.
■ DIMMs for CPU 1 and CPU 2 (when populated) must always be configured identically.
■ Cisco memory from previous generation servers (DDR3 and DDR4) is not compatible with
the server.
■ Memory can be configured in any number of DIMMs as pairs, although for
optimal performance, see the following document:

STEP 11 ORDER POWER SUPPLY

Power supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot-plug and
tool-less installation into M6 HX servers. Each power supply is certified for high-efficiency
operation and offers multiple power output options. This allows users to “right-size” based
on server configuration, which improves power efficiency, lowers overall energy costs and
avoids stranded capacity in the data center. Use the power calculator at the following link to
determine the needed power based on the options chosen (CPUs, drives, memory, and so on):

STEP 14 ORDER SECURITY DEVICES (OPTIONAL)

A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a computer chip (microcontroller) that can securely store
artifacts used to authenticate the platform (server). These artifacts can include passwords,
certificates, or encryption keys. A TPM can also be used to store platform measurements that
help ensure that the platform remains trustworthy. Authentication (ensuring that the platform
can prove that it is what it claims to be) and attestation (a process helping to prove that a
platform is trustworthy and has not been breached) are necessary steps to ensure safer
computing in all environments.

A chassis intrusion switch gives a notification of any unauthorized mechanical access into the
server.

The security device ordering information is listed in Table 24.

Notes:
1. Please note that Microsoft certification requires a TPM 2.0 for bare-metal or guest VM deployments. Opt-out
of the TPM 2.0 voids the Microsoft certification

NOTE:
■ The TPM module used in this system conforms to TPM 2.0, as defined by the
Trusted Computing Group (TCG). It is also SPI-based.
■ TPM installation is supported after-factory. However, a TPM installs with a
one-way screw and cannot be replaced, upgraded, or moved to another server.
If a server with a TPM is returned, the replacement server must be ordered
with a new TPM.

Drive Retention Service

With the Cisco Drive Retention Service, you can obtain a new disk drive in exchange for a
faulty drive without returning the faulty drive.

Sophisticated data recovery techniques have made classified, proprietary, and confidential
information vulnerable, even on malfunctioning disk drives. The Drive Retention service
enables you to retain your drives and ensures that the sensitive data on those drives is not
compromised, which reduces the risk of any potential liabilities. This service also enables you
to comply with regulatory, local, and federal requirements.

If your company has a need to control confidential, classified, sensitive, or proprietary data, you
might want to consider one of the Drive Retention Services listed in the above tables (where
available)

NOTE: Cisco does not offer a certified drive destruction service as part of this
service.

Local Language Technical Support

Where available, and subject to an additional fee, local language support for calls on all
assigned severity levels may be available for specific product(s) – see tables above.

Supported Network Topologies for HyperFlex Edge 2 Node Deployments
Cisco HyperFlex Edge offers both 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) and 10/25 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) installation
option. Both topologies support single top-of-rack (ToR) and dual ToR switch options for ultimate
network flexibility and redundancy.

Consider the following when determining the best topology for your cluster:

■ Cisco highly recommends the 10/25GE topology for higher performance and future node
expansion capabilities.
■ The 1GE for clusters that will never require node expansion, and instances where the ToR switch
does not have 10/25GE ports available.

NOTE: A network topology is chosen during initial deployment and cannot be changed or
upgraded without a full reinstallation. Choose your network topology carefully and with
future needs in mind.

Below is a summary of the supported topologies, refer to the Cisco HyperFlex Edge Deployment Guide,
Pre-installation Checklist chapter, for full details.
