Cisco UCS B200 M4 Blade Server

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL

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 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.

Figure 10 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 62xx Series Fabric Interconnects, but 61xx Series FIs

are not supported. All FIs are supported with the VIC 12xx Series adapters. 61xx/21xx Series FIs 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

expander, VIC 1280/1380, and Cisco adapters).
