  • Cisco UCS C220 M5 internal SAS RAID controller cable

    Cisco UCS C220 M5 internal SAS RAID controller cable

    This is the SAS storage cable found in the Cisco UCS C220 M5 server. It is attached to the backplane and then routes along the right side of the server where it terminates at a RAID controller located in the mRAID riser.

    Notes:

    • Genuine Cisco OEM internal SAS cable assembly.
    • Used in the Cisco UCS C220 M5 Rack Server storage subsystem.
    • Provides the connection between the RAID controller (such as Cisco modular RAID controller / mRAID configurations or supported PCIe RAID adapters) and the internal SAS/SATA drive backplane.
    • Cable assembly uses Mini-SAS HD connectors for high-density SAS connectivity.
    • Supports SAS/SATA drive communication for internal storage configurations.
    • Designed with Cisco-specific cable length and routing to fit the C220 M5 chassis airflow layout.
    • Required for configurations using hardware RAID controllers and SAS backplanes.
    • Proper cable routing is important to avoid interference with fans and airflow paths in the 1U chassis.
    • OEM cable ensures correct connector keying, impedance, and signal integrity.
    • Commonly missing from refurbished or decommissioned servers when RAID components are removed.
    • Cable only; does not include RAID controller, riser, backplane, or drive cage unless otherwise specified.
  • Cisco UCS C220 M5 Heatsink 74-115410-01

    Cisco UCS C220 M5 Heatsink 74-115410-01

    Heatsink found in the Cisco UCS C220 M5 1U server.

    Notes

    • Genuine Cisco OEM passive CPU heatsink designed for the Cisco UCS C220 M5 Rack Server.
    • Provides thermal dissipation for Intel Xeon Scalable processors used in the C220 M5 platform.
    • Mounts directly over the CPU socket using the factory retention mechanism.
    • Required for proper CPU cooling and reliable operation under server workloads.
    • Designed to work with the C220 M5 airflow system and internal fan layout.
    • Passive heatsink design relies on the server’s high-pressure chassis airflow for cooling.
    • Must be installed with the correct thermal interface material (TIM/thermal paste or pad) between the CPU heat spreader and heatsink.
    • Different heatsink variants may exist depending on processor TDP and system configuration.
    • Commonly removed during CPU upgrades or server decommissioning and may be sold separately.
    • OEM Cisco heatsink ensures correct mounting pressure, clearance, and compatibility with surrounding components.
    • Does not include CPU, thermal compound, processor carrier, or mounting hardware unless specifically specified.
  • Cisco UCS C220 M5 Riser 2 15595-1

    Cisco UCS C220 M5 Riser 2 15595-1

    This Riser number 2 found in the Cisco UCS C220 M5 server. It sits to the left of the mRAID riser.

    Notes

    • Genuine Cisco OEM PCIe riser card assembly for the Cisco UCS C220 M5 Rack Server.
    • Provides additional PCI Express expansion capability for installing supported PCIe adapter cards.
    • PCIe slot configuration:
      • 1 × PCIe x16 slot
      • 1 × PCIe x8 slot
    • Supports installation of Cisco-qualified PCIe adapters including network interface cards, Fibre Channel adapters, SAS/HBA controllers, and other expansion cards.
    • Installs into the dedicated motherboard riser connector and positions PCIe cards vertically within the 1U chassis.
    • Maintains proper card retention, airflow, and mechanical alignment inside the server.
    • PCIe generation is dependent on the UCS C220 M5 platform and installed CPU configuration.
    • Requires compatible processor configuration for full PCIe lane availability.
    • Not interchangeable with the C220 M4 or C220 M6 riser assemblies.
    • OEM Cisco hardware ensures correct electrical connection, slot alignment, and chassis compatibility.
    • Common replacement part for systems missing risers after hardware refreshes or decommissioning.
    • Includes the riser PCB and mounting bracket assembly. PCIe adapter cards and mounting hardware are not included unless specified.
  • Cisco UCS C220 M5 mRAID Riser 15625-1

    Cisco UCS C220 M5 mRAID Riser 15625-1

    This is the riser specifically designed for a Cisco Raid controller. This specific riser was pulled from a Cisco UCS C220 M5 1U server.

    Notes

    • Genuine Cisco OEM mRAID riser for the UCS C220 M5 server.
    • Used to install Cisco modular RAID controllers without consuming a standard PCIe expansion slot.
    • Supports Cisco UCS RAID controller options such as the Cisco 12G SAS Modular RAID Controller family (model-dependent).
    • Connects directly to the motherboard through the dedicated mRAID connector.
    • Provides the physical mounting location for the RAID controller and associated cabling.
    • Allows the server to use hardware RAID functionality while preserving PCIe slots for other expansion cards.
    • Required when configuring certain C220 M5 storage options that use a modular RAID controller.
    • Not interchangeable with standard PCIe risers.
    • Specific RAID controller and backplane compatibility depends on the C220 M5 storage configuration (SAS/SATA backplane type and drive count).
    • OEM Cisco part ensures proper mechanical fit, connector alignment, and airflow within the chassis.
    • Includes the riser assembly only; RAID controller, battery backup unit, cables, and storage backplane are sold separately unless otherwise specified.

  • Front PERC Mounting Bracket 01GXYG

    Front PERC Mounting Bracket 01GXYG

    Metal bracket designed for a front mounted PERC controller on select 15 gen servers.

    Notes

    • Genuine Dell OEM mounting bracket for the front PERC (fPERC) RAID controller.
    • Designed to securely mount the front PERC controller within supported Dell PowerEdge server chassis.
    • Maintains proper alignment between the RAID controller, system board connector, and backplane connections.
    • Constructed from stamped steel for rigidity and long-term durability.
    • Used only in systems equipped with a front PERC (fPERC) storage configuration.
    • Compatible with Dell front PERC RAID controllers, including select PERC H745, H750, and H755 models, depending on the server configuration.
    • Works in conjunction with the appropriate plastic carrier, mounting hardware, and cabling specific to the server model.
    • Ensures the RAID controller remains securely fastened, reducing vibration and preventing stress on board-to-board connectors.
    • Commonly removed during server disassembly and may be missing from refurbished systems, making it a useful replacement part.
    • OEM Dell hardware provides the correct fit and mounting geometry for supported 15th Generation PowerEdge servers.
    • Bracket only; RAID controller, plastic carrier, cables, screws, and battery are typically sold separately unless otherwise specified.

    This is the metal bracket that works with the JM7F5 plastic carrier, so together they form the complete front PERC mounting assembly on many 15th Generation PowerEdge servers.
