Cisco C240 M5 24 SFF Rack Server | 2 Rear Drives, Enterprise — CON-ETSOP-HXB200M5

Keep critical services close to the hardware they depend on with a server chassis designed for density and operational control. The Cisco C240 M5 24 SFF platform gives you 24 front-access small-form-factor drive bays and 2 rear drives, creating a flexible storage layout for boot volumes, cache, and data tiers without expanding rack footprint. This configuration is sold without CPU, memory, drives, PCIe cards, or power supplies, which makes it a strong fit for standardized builds and controlled procurement. Teams can align the chassis to their preferred processor, memory, and storage profile instead of paying for bundled components they do not need. That matters when you are refreJTFng at scale, matching an existing Cisco estate, or building to a specific workload envelope. The 2U form factor balances density with service access, while the rear drive support helps preserve front-bay capacity for primary storage. For organizations that value predictable integration and long-term platform consistency, this chassis provides a disciplined foundation for virtualization hosts, infrastructure services, and storage-aware applications. Ideal For Virtualization host builds requiring dense SFF storage Enterprise infrastructure refreshes with standardized component selection Storage-tiered application deployments needing front and rear drive placement Cisco-based rack environments where chassis-only procurement is preferred Why This Product 1 Chassis-only configuration avoids paying for unused CPU, memory, and storage 2 24 front SFF bays support denser storage layouts than lower-bay alternatives 3 2 rear drives add flexibility without sacrificing the front storage plane 4 2U rack design balances density with service access
