Cisco UCS buyback — B-series, C-series, X-series.
We buy back Cisco UCS across B-series blades, C-series rack servers, and X-series modular. Indicative SGD residuals: UCS B200 M5 blade S$700-1,400; UCS C240 M5 rack S$900-1,800. Configuration sanitisation included on every device — UCS Manager profile reset, BMC factory default. Quote within 2 working hours.
Common UCS configurations
- ♦ UCS B200 M4 / M5 / M6 — 2-socket blade, dominant SKU in older deployments.
- ♦ UCS B480 M5 / M6 — 4-socket blade, niche.
- ♦ UCS C220 M5 / M6 — 1U rack, cost-effective.
- ♦ UCS C240 M5 / M6 — 2U rack, standard, S$900-1,800.
- ♦ UCS C480 M5 — 4-socket rack, niche but solid residual.
- ♦ UCS C480 ML M5 — ML/AI-class, GPU-bearing, quoted under AI Hardware.
- ♦ UCS X-series (X9508 chassis + X-Fabric) — modular, recent generation.
- ♦ 5108 blade chassis (with Fabric Extenders) — separately quoted.
- ♦ Fabric Interconnects (6248UP, 6332, 6454, 64108) — buyback at S$1,000-3,500.
Why UCS configuration sanitisation matters.
Cisco UCS has more configuration surface than typical x86 servers. UCS Manager carries the service profile (boot order, network policies, vNIC / vHBA configurations, MAC pools, WWN pools). The Fabric Interconnect carries fabric-level config (uplink ports, VLAN trunking, QoS policies). The individual blade's BMC carries iDRAC-equivalent management state.
Configuration sanitisation on UCS buyback runs all three: UCS Manager profile reset (or full UCSM clear if entire domain is being sold), Fabric Interconnect factory reset, blade BMC reset. Documented per device on the Certificate of Destruction.
Maxicom Singapore — frequently asked
Can you buy back a complete UCS domain (chassis + blades + Fabric Interconnects)?
Yes — domain-level buyback typically yields better aggregate residual than splitting blade + chassis + FI separately. We quote both ways and recommend the path with higher net SGD.
