Cisco UCS C220 M4 Series Replacement: What Cisco Recommends
Cisco support for the Cisco UCS C220 M4 Series ended Feb 2024. Unsupported units need a plan. Cisco's own end-of-life bulletin names the successor below, quoted from the source, with the successor's live support status where EOSL.ai tracks it.
The Cisco-named replacement
named as the replacement part number in the Cisco EOL bulletin — named in the Cisco EOL bulletin ↗ as the migration path.
UCS-MAN-S01A0T0V0 is not yet tracked on EOSL.ai — no vendor end-of-life notice has been captured for it, which is typical of current products.

Migration questions
What is the replacement for the Cisco UCS C220 M4 Series?
Cisco's end-of-life bulletin names UCS-MAN-S01A0T0V0 as the recommended migration path for the Cisco UCS C220 M4 Series. The exact wording and any per-part-number mapping are in the linked bulletin.
Is the Cisco UCS C220 M4 Series end of life?
Cisco support for the Cisco UCS C220 M4 Series ended Feb 2024. Unsupported units need a plan. Full lifecycle dates by part number: https://eosl.ai/system/cisco-ucs-c220-m4/.
Is there a per-part-number replacement mapping for the C220 M4 Series?
Yes. The bulletin maps replacements at the part-number level for 28 SKUs (for example UCS-MAN-S00A0T0V0 → UCS-MAN-S01A0T0V0). The full table is on this page.
Do I have to buy the Cisco-recommended replacement?
No. The bulletin's named successor is Cisco's suggested path, not an obligation. Teams also keep C220 M4 Series units running under third-party maintenance after the support cutoff, migrate to a different vendor, or run low-criticality units to failure with the risk documented. See the support-options guide for the trade-offs.
