Network Connectivity
This section explains how the UCS B200 M4 server connects to Fabric Interconnects (FIs) using the network
adapters in the UCS B200 M4 blade server and the Fabric Extender (FEX) modules in the UCS 5108 blade
server chassis. The UCS B200 M4 server plugs into the front of the UCS 5108 blade server chassis. The Fabric
Extender modules plug into the back of the UCS 5108 Series blade server chassis. A midplane connects the
UCS B200 M4 blade server to the Fabric Extenders.

shows an example configuration where 4 x
10G KR ports are routed from the VIC 1340/1240 adapter to the Fabric Extender modules and the remaining
4 x 10G KR ports are routed from the mezzanine adapter to the Fabric Extender modules.

Note that you cannot mix VIC 13xx Series adapters with VIC 12xx Series adapters. For example, if you install
a VIC 1340, you cannot install a VIC 1280. In this case, you must install a VIC 1380. Also, the VIC 13xx Series
adapters are compatible with systems implementing 6200 and 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects, but 61xx
Series FIs are not supported. All FIs are supported with the VIC 12xx Series adapters. 61xx/21xx Series
FIs/FEXs are supported on the B200 M4, but only with the VIC 12xx Series adapters.

The B200 M4 server accommodates different types of adapter cards. The mLOM slot only accommodates the
VIC 1240 and VIC 1340 adapters, while the mezzanine slot accommodates all other adapters (such as port
