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.
