Cisco UCS C200 M2 Hardware

For my Lab I could buy some Cisco UCS C200 M2 rack servers. Of course I am running Hyper-V on my lab servers to get the most out of it, and I am very happy with the performance of the Cisco UCS standalone servers.

But still I did some changes in the BIOS settings to get some more performance.
