Cisco Cisco UCS B230 M1 Blade Server Datenbogen

The network adapter options are:

■

Cisco VIC 1340/1240 adapter. This adapter plugs into the mLOM slot. Both cards can support 
up to dual 4x10 Gbps ports (requires Port Expander for VIC) and 256 PCIe devices. The VIC 
1340 is capable of supporting native 40 Gbps. The capabilities of the adapter can easily be 
expanded by using the Port Expander Card for VIC in the mezzanine slot. 

■

Cisco VIC 1380/1280 Mezzanine adapter. This adapter plugs into the mezzanine slot and is 
capable of up to dual 2x10 Gbps ports in the UCS B200 M4 server, depending on the Fabric 
Extender chosen (see 

) and 256 PCIe devices.

■

Cisco Port Expander Card for VIC. This I/O expander plugs into the mezzanine slot and 
enables additional bandwidth to and from the server with the VIC 1340/1240 (see 

).

■

Cisco Storage Accelerators or GPUs plug into the mezzanine slot. These devices do not have 
network connectivity; instead they provide independent high-speed storage or GPU 
processing power controlled by CPU 2. See 

 for descriptions.

The only adapter that can be plugged in to the mLOM slot is the VIC 1340/1240, Cisco-designed PCIe based 
adapters that provide up to eight (depending on the Fabric Extender option chosen) 10 Gigabit Data Center 
Ethernet (DCE) network interfaces.

There are two groups of four ports on the VIC 1340/1240. Two ports of the first group and two ports of the 
second group are wired through the UCS 5108 Blade Server chassis to Fabric Extender A and Fabric Extender 
B. The other two ports of each group are wired to the mezzanine slot, as represented in 

.

NOTE:  The bandwidth/port count on these adapters depends on the Fabric 
Extender. For example, the VIC 1380/1280 only supports up to 4x10 Gbps in this 
blade because each mezzanine slot (or mLOM slot) only supports up to 4x10 Gbps.
