 Windows 2003 is not supported on any of the M3 servers, or M4 servers.

Customers needing to run older OSs like that will need to run that in a virtual environment on top of a supported hyper-visor.

Please check the UCS interop tool for details and supported combinations: https://ucshcltool.cloudapps.cisco.com/public/#

Thanks,
