Cisco Cisco UCS B440 M1 High-Performance Blade Server Ficha De Dados

This section shows how the supported adapter card configurations for the B420 M4 connect to the Fabric 
Extender modules in the 5108 blade server chassis. 

There are three configurable adapter slots on the B420 M4. One slot supports only the VIC 1340/1240 
adapter, and two additional slots accommodate Cisco adapters, as well as Cisco UCS Storage Accelerator 
adapters. 

 show supported adapter configurations. You must 

install at least one VIC adapter in one of the three adapter slots. 

Maximum bandwidth is a function of the Fabric Extender, the adapter, and the adapter slot, as shown in 

 shows the configuration for maximum bandwidth, where the following ports are routed to 8-port 

Fabric Extender Modules A and B inside the 5108 blade server chassis:

■

4 x 10 Gb KR ports from the VIC 1340/1240 adapter

■

4 x 10 Gb KR ports from the Port Expander

■

8 x 10 Gb KR ports from the VIC 1380/1280 adapter

■

4 x 10 Gb from a Cisco Storage Accelerator when placed in adapter slot 2, similar to the 
Cisco UCS Port Expander Card for VIC. Requires UCSM 2.2(4b) or later.

The resulting aggregate bandwidth is 160 Gb (80 Gb to each Fabric Extender).

Adapter 1 = VIC 1340/1240 (40 Gb)

 

Adapter 2 = Port Expander (40 Gb)

 

Adapter 3 = VIC 1380/1280 (80 Gb)

NOTE:  In 

, note that CPU4 controls adapter slot 2. In the case where a 

Port Expander is installed in this slot, CPU4 is not needed. However, in the case 
where a Storage Accelerator is installed in the slot, CPU4 must be installed.
