Cisco UCS C240 M6 Rack Server

Cisco UCS C240 M6 Rack Server — 2U Storage-Dense Server for Data Centers (Refurbished, India)

The Cisco UCS C240 M6 is a 2U, dual-socket rack server built on 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable ("Ice Lake-SP") processors, with up to 28 hot-swap drive bays in its densest configuration and Cisco's own CIMC/Intersight management stack in place of iDRAC or iLO. Serverwale sells this unit refurbished, load-tested and warranty-backed, at a fraction of new pricing.

Who this server is actually built for

• Software-defined storage clusters — up to 28 hot-swap SFF bays (SAS/SATA/NVMe) in the max config make it a strong fit for Ceph, vSAN and Nutanix nodes.
• Existing Cisco UCS shops — if you already run a UCS domain (Fabric Interconnects, UCS Manager or Intersight), this server slots straight into that management plane. It also runs perfectly well standalone via CIMC if you don't.
• Virtualization hosts — up to 32 DIMM slots and up to 8TB DDR4 (3200MHz) support dense VM consolidation; certified for VMware vSphere/ESXi, Hyper-V and KVM.
• High-throughput networking workloads — the dedicated mLOM slot takes a Cisco VIC 1400-series adapter (up to 100GbE) without eating a PCIe slot, on top of 2x embedded 10GBase-T LOM ports.

Where this server will let you down

• Not iDRAC or iLO. Cisco's management interface is CIMC, not Dell's iDRAC or HP's iLO. If your team's tooling and runbooks are built around one of those, budget time to learn CIMC/Intersight — it's a different console, different API.
• Refurb parts ecosystem is thinner than Dell/HP in India. Cisco UCS spares and refurb-market familiarity are smaller here than for Dell PowerEdge or HPE ProLiant — worth confirming spares lead time with us before you commit to a large deployment.
• PCIe slot count depends on riser configuration — up to 8 Gen4 slots is the maximum with the right riser kit, not the default on every unit. Confirm the exact riser/slot count on the specific unit before assuming full expansion capacity.

Refurbished, Tested & Warranty-Backed

Every C240 M6 is stress-tested — CPUs, memory, drive bays, CIMC connectivity and PSU redundancy — before it ships. It carries a 90-day to 1-year Serverwale warranty covering manufacturing defects and free replacement, and you can extend cover with a server AMC plan once it's in production.
