Cisco Cisco UCS B200 M4 Blade Server Hoja De Datos

 lists the capabilities and features of the base UCS Mini chassis. Details about how to configure the 

chassis for a particular feature or capability are provided in 

. 

Management by Cisco 

UCS Manager

■

Reduces TCO by consolidating management modules into the chassis, 

making the chassis stateless

■

Provides a single, highly available management domain for all system 

chassis, reducing administrative tasks through automated service profile 

configuration

Unified fabric

Decreases TCO by reducing the number of network interface cards (NICs), 

host bus adapters (HBAs), switches, and cables needed

Support for up to two 

Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric 

Interconnects that 

connect directly to 

external Nexus switch

■

Allows use of up to two 6324 fabric interconnects for redundancy or 

aggregation of bandwidth

■

The 6324 Fabric Interconnect combines the Fabric Extender and Fabric 

Interconnect functions into one plug-in module, and allows direct 

connection to an external switch.

Auto-discovery

Requires no configuration; like all components in the Cisco Unified 

Computing System, chassis are automatically recognized and configured by 

Cisco UCS Manager and its service profiles and service profile groups

High-performance 

mid-plane

■

Provides investment protection

■

Supports up to 80 Gbit Ethernet links to each half-width blade slot

■

Provides 8 blades with 1.2 Tbps of available Ethernet throughput for 

future I/O requirements. Note the maximum I/O per 6324 is 500 Gbps.

Redundant 

hot-swappable power 

supplies and fans

■

Provides high availability in multiple configurations

■

Provides uninterrupted service during maintenance

Hot-swappable blade 

servers and fabric 

interconnects

Provides uninterrupted service during maintenance and server deployment

Comprehensive 

monitoring

■

Provides extensive environmental monitoring on each chassis

■

Allows use of user thresholds to optimize environmental management of 

the chassis

Thermal efficiencies

The Chassis Management Controller (CMC) monitors all the temperature 

sensors and regulates fan speeds to maintain the airflow at the minimum 

needed to cool the system. The open backplane and deep plenum allow air 

to be directed across the blades to ensure cooling is directed where it is 

needed most.

Tool-free installation

■

Requires no specialized tools for chassis installation

■

Provides mounting rails for easy installation and servicing
