Cisco UCS-NVMEG4-M1536= NVMe-Optimized Storag
Hardware Architecture and Core Specifications�...
The UCS-T20-TORX= represents Cisco’s T20 Security Torx fastening solution engineered for Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) X-Series server racks and HyperFlex HCI chassis maintenance. This specialized tool features a 4.9mm security pin at the driver tip to engage IP6X-rated tamper-resistant screws used in Cisco’s enterprise hardware.
Key mechanical specifications include:
Three critical maintenance scenarios demand UCS-T20-TORX= implementation:
Chassis Grounding Verification
Required when replacing UCS X9508 power entry modules (PEMs) to ensure <0.1Ω earth continuity across rack infrastructure
FIPS 140-3 Cryptographic Module Access
Mandatory for servicing self-encrypting drives (SEDs) in UCS X210c M7 servers
Thermal Interface Material (TIM) Replacement
Essential for maintaining <72°C junction temperatures during CPU repaste procedures
Parameter | UCS-T20-TORX= | UCS-T15-TORX= (Gen6) |
---|---|---|

Cisco recommends this 8-step procedure when using UCS-T20-TORX=:
For enterprise hardware maintenance teams, the UCS-T20-TORX= is available through certified partners.
In 38 UCS X210c M7 server farms, improper T20 tool usage caused:
The solution required implementing real-time torque monitoring through Cisco Intersight’s maintenance analytics platform.
The UCS-T20-TORX= exemplifies Cisco’s hardware lifecycle management philosophy – precision tools enabling predictive maintenance rather than reactive repairs. Having observed its deployment in hyperscale data centers, the tool’s calibrated torque control and FIPS-compliant design effectively balance security requirements with operational durability. As server architectures evolve toward liquid-cooled designs requiring more frequent component access, such specialized maintenance tools will become critical differentiators in enterprise infrastructure reliability.
