Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) Servers - Refurbished, Used, New
Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) servers are Cisco's x86 server platform for virtualization, databases and private cloud: C-Series rack servers that run standalone or under UCS Manager, B-Series blades in the UCS 5108 chassis, and E-Series compute modules that fit inside a Cisco ISR router. The servers connect through Virtual Interface Cards (VICs) to Fabric Interconnects, which carry both Ethernet and storage traffic and manage the whole domain from one place. NetworkTigers sells UCS rack and blade servers, chassis, Fabric Interconnects and I/O modules, VICs and NICs, power supplies, RAID controllers, drives, CPUs, risers and rail kits refurbished, used and new. Every unit is tested before it ships.

Which UCS parts do I need?
Every UCS part is tied to a server generation, so start with the model and generation on the front label (C220 M4, C240 M5, B200 M5 and so on) and match it. Power supplies, risers, heatsinks, fan modules and drive caddies differ between M4 and M5, and a CPU must be on the supported list for that generation: the E5-2600 v3 and v4 parts here fit M4 servers, not M5. For a blade domain, the I/O module in the 5108 chassis must be supported by your Fabric Interconnect model and UCS Manager release, and the VIC in each blade must be supported by that I/O module. For a standalone C-Series server managed through CIMC, an Intel NIC is often enough; a VIC earns its place when the server joins a UCS Manager or Intersight domain or when you want many virtual NICs and HBAs on one card. Send us your server model, generation and firmware release and we will confirm fit before you order.
Frequently asked questions
Do refurbished UCS servers come with drives and memory installed?
Each listing states the configuration. Most servers ship as a chassis with power supplies, fans and risers, and you add CPUs, memory and drives to suit, or ask us to configure the server before it ships.
Can a C-Series server run without Fabric Interconnects?
Yes. A C-Series rack server runs standalone, managed through its built-in Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) and any standard NIC. Fabric Interconnects are required for B-Series blades and optional for rack servers.
Will a UCS SSD or HDD with a Cisco part number work in a server from another vendor?
Usually, since the drives are standard SAS or SATA units in a Cisco caddy, but the server's RAID controller may not recognize the drive's firmware. The safe choice is to use Cisco-labeled drives in UCS servers and keep the caddy that matches the server generation.
