Cisco 12G SAS HBA | HX-SAS-240M6
This HBA supports up to 16 SAS or SATA drives (HX-E-240-M6SX and HXAF-E-240-M6SX server has 24 front drives and 2 or 4 rear drives) operating at 3 Gbs, 6 Gbs, and 12Gbs. It supports JBOD or pass-through mode (not RAID) and plugs directly into the drive backplane. Two of these controllers are required to control 24 front drives and 2 or 4 rear drives.
- Supports up to 16 internal SAS HDDs and SAS/SATA SSDs
- Supports JBOD or pass-through mode
Cisco Boot optimized M.2 Raid controller | HX-M2-HWRAID
Order two identical M.2 SATA SSDs for the boot-optimized RAID controller. You cannot mix M.2 SATA SSD capacities.It is recommended that M.2 SATA SSDs be used as boot-only devices.
- CIMC/UCSM is supported for configuring of volumes and monitoring of the controller and installed SATA M.2 drives.
- The SATA M.2 drives can boot in UEFI mode only. Legacy boot mode is not supported.
- Hot-plug replacement is not supported. The server must be powered off.
- The boot-optimized RAID controller is supported when the server is used as a compute node in HyperFlex configurations.
Topologies / Networking
The Cisco HyperFlex Edge Network Topologies define the architecture for connecting the nodes within the HyperFlex HX240c M6 Edge cluster to the network, emphasizing scalability, flexibility, and reliability for edge deployments. These topologies support configurations using existing top-of-rack switches, with options for single-switch or dual-switch setups. Single-switch topologies are cost-effective and ideal for smaller environments, while dual-switch configurations enhance redundancy and fault tolerance, ensuring continuous operations in the event of a network failure. The flexibility to use 1GE, 10GE, or 25GE switching enables organizations to optimize bandwidth and performance based on their needs. These topologies are integral to the cluster's ability to provide seamless, high-performance hyperconverged infrastructure in edge environments, such as remote offices or branch locations, where infrastructure simplicity and reliability are paramount.

Power & Dimensions
Power supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot-plug and tool-less installation into M6 HX-Series servers. Each power supply is certified for high-efficiency operation and offer multiple power output options.
The 2300 W power supply uses a different power connector that the rest of the power supplies, so you must use different power cables to connect it.
