Cisco UCS C240 M5 24 SFF 2 Rear Drives | 2U, Enterprise — CON-USD7L-40M5SXCH

Keep storage-intensive services organized and accessible with the Cisco UCS C240 M5. This 2U rack server is built around a 24-bay small-form-factor layout plus 2 rear drive positions, giving infrastructure teams a strong foundation for capacity planning, tiered storage, and workload separation. It is a practical fit for environments that need more drive density than a general-purpose server without moving to a larger chassis. The C240 M5 platform is commonly selected for virtualization, backup targets, file services, and application workloads where front-access storage matters. The 2U design helps preserve rack efficiency while leaving room for cooling, cabling, and serviceability. For teams standardizing on Cisco UCS infrastructure, this server class aligns well with controlled deployments that value predictable hardware behavior and straightforward maintenance. This listing is for the server platform only and does not include CPU, memory, storage, PCIe, or power supply components. That makes it suitable for buyers who need a chassis-centric build or are replacing a failed system with a known form factor. In enterprise environments, that separation can reduce waste and let procurement match the exact component set to the workload instead of paying for unnecessary parts.
