* Specific characteristics of the material! that limits the availability to a Brand Name (unique features, function of the item, etc.).

I

Cisco UCS servers use only dual in-li~e memory modules (DIMMs) that Cisco carefully selects, qualifies, and screens. Each DIMM II}ust pass extensive hardware, software, and manufacturing tests to make sure it meets the highes~ standards and can perform reliably in Cisco UCS servers.

Cisco UCS teams use only qualified f IMMs to optimize system design, firmware, and software development. 1

I

Not all memory modules are created ~qual, and memory parts that have not been qualified by Cisco can result in issues and faults tqat can be difficult to trace to the DIMM itself.

I

For each server CPU, Intel always tes~I sand validates enterprise-class DIMMs from various DRAM vendors. Cisco further carefu ly selects and qualifies DIMMs from Intel's tested and certified DIMMs. DIMMs that do not meet Cisco standards may also fail to meet Intel's DIMM certification criteria for its CPUs. In if1ct, DIMMs that Cisco does not qualify are often specifically rejected by Cisco vendors for one of many reasons and are sold to other suppliers on the gray market at a reduced price. I
