Cisco UCS C240 M8 8x5xNBD Smart Net Total Support

Keep a Cisco UCS C240 M8 2U rack server under business-hours support with Cisco Smart Net Total coverage. The service level pairs 8x5 support availability with next-business-day hardware replacement, aligning with environments that have weekday operations and can use the next working day for replacement logistics. It is a support entitlement for the server platform rather than server hardware, additional compute, storage, or network interfaces. CON-SNT-UCSC24CL maps to the UCS C240 M8 2U rack platform and its 8x5xNBD service tier. Use it where the installed system must retain access to Cisco technical assistance and a defined hardware-replacement response during covered business hours. The 8x5 designation matters because it describes weekday business-hours coverage rather than round-the-clock response. Next-business-day replacement identifies the hardware service response level; it does not indicate same-day on-site repair. Match the contract to the server platform and required coverage tier before activation. This service is differentiated within Cisco support options by the combination of 8x5 availability and next-business-day replacement for the M8 2U rack form factor. It suits departmental infrastructure, branch services, and lab systems whose recovery plan accommodates a next-business-day replacement window.
