Product Features
Technical Overview
At the core of the E180D M3 is the Intel Xeon D-1548 processor, an eight-core system-on-chip running at 2.0 GHz base frequency with turbo boost up to 2.60 GHz. This 64-bit processor provides the performance headroom for multi-threaded applications while maintaining power efficiency through Intel's integrated platform architecture.
Memory configuration supports four DDR4 SDRAM DIMM slots with a maximum capacity of 128 GB, delivering the bandwidth needed for data-intensive operations. The integrated Serial Attached SCSI controller supports multiple RAID levels including 0, 1, 5, and 10 for data protection and performance optimization across storage devices.

Deployment / Use Cases
The Cisco E180D M3 server barebone is designed for environments requiring compute density and scalability. Its blade architecture makes it particularly suitable for edge computing deployments, branch office infrastructure, and space-constrained data centers where traditional rack servers would consume excessive space.
Common deployment scenarios include virtualization hosts for small to medium virtual machine clusters, network function virtualization platforms for software-defined networking, and storage servers for distributed file systems. The system's compact dimensions and vertical mounting capability also make it appropriate for telecommunications cabinets and industrial computing applications where standard server form factors are impractical.

Physical Profile
The E180D M3 utilizes a blade form factor measuring 1.58 inches in height, 16.23 inches in width, and 7.50 inches in depth. At approximately 7.05 pounds, the system offers a balance of structural integrity and manageable weight for installation in various mounting configurations. The compact dimensions enable high-density deployments while maintaining adequate airflow for thermal management.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.58" (40.13 mm), 16.23" (412.24 mm), 7.50" (190.50 mm), 7.05 lb (3200 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
