SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Expansion Module Both the Cisco UCS 6248UP and Cisco UCS 6296UP Fabric Interconnects use a common 10 Gigabit 16-port expansion module (GEM), shown in Figure 10.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Cisco UCS 6248 Port Numbering Each individual port is numbered, and groups of ports are numbered based on their function. The ports are numbered top to bottom and left to right. There are 32 to 48 ports on the Cisco UCS 6248 UP, depending on whether an expansion module is installed. Each individual port is numbered, and groups of ports are numbered based on their function. The ports are numbered from top to bottom and left to right. See Figure 11.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Cisco UCS 6296 Port Numbering Each port on the Cisco UCS 6296 UP is numbered, and groups of ports are numbered based on their function. The ports are numbered top to bottom and left to right. The 48 fixed ports support 8-, 4-, 2-, or 1-Gbps Fibre Channel transceivers and 1- or 10-Gigabit Ethernet transceivers. Figure 12 shows how ports are numbered and grouped by function for both the fixed ports and the Fibre Channel plus Ethernet expansion module ports.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL ■ 1 ground lug kit ■ 1 ESD wrist strap ■ 1 power cord clip (a wire clip that is used to retain the power cord) ■ 1 pointer document (specifies where to find the online product documentation) LED Descriptions Table 12 describes the LEDs for the Cisco UCS 6200 series fabric interconnect.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Transceivers and Cabling The 6200 fabric interconnect series supports SFP+ Ethernet transceivers, SFP transceivers, and SFP Fibre Channel transceivers. SFP+ Transceivers The high bandwidth of 10-Gigabit Ethernet poses challenges to transmissions that are met by the transceiver and cabling options supported by the Cisco UCS 6200 platform. The enhanced SFP+ 10-Gigabit Ethernet transceiver module is a bidirectional device with a transmitter and receiver in the same physical package.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Management Daughter Card The Cisco UCS 6248UP 48-Port Fabric Interconnect Management Daughter Card is located at the left side of the chassis, as shown in Figure 13. Figure 13 6248 FI Management Daughter Card The Management Daughter Card and left fan assembly are a single unit and are removed and replaced as one single assembly.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Connectivity This section explains the connectivity between the Fabric Interconnects (FIs) and Fabric Extenders (FEX). The Fabric Extenders are extensions of the Fabric Interconnects and act as remote line cards to form a distributed modular fabric system. The fabric extension is accomplished through the FEX fabric link, which is the connection between the Fabric Interconnect and the FEX. A minimum of one connection between the FI and FEX is required to provide server connectivity.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL C-Series Rack-Mounted Server Connectivity C-Series servers connect to external FEXs and FIs as summarized in this section. Two interconnection methods are possible: ■ Single-Wire Management ■ Dual-Wire Management Single-Wire Management Cisco UCS Manager 2.1 supports an additional option to integrate the C-Series Rack-Mount Server with Cisco UCS Manager using the NC-SI.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Dual-Wire Management Cisco UCS Manager version 2.1 supports the existing rack server integration and management option through Shared LOM, using two separate cables for data traffic and management traffic. The prerequisites for integration with Cisco UCS Manager are built into the C-Series servers. Make sure you have correct server firmware for integration with Cisco UCS Manager. If not, upgrade your server firmware before integrating the server with Cisco UCS Manager.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Blade Chassis Connection Types In a blade chassis, the FEX fabric link (the link between the FEX and the FI) supports two different types of connections: ■ Discrete Mode ■ Port Channel Mode In discrete mode, a half-width server slot is pinned to a given FEX fabric link. The supported number of links are 1, 2, 4, and 8, as shown in Figure 17. The figure shows how each FEX fabric link services a particular slot. It is an example of four FEX fabric link connections.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL In port channel mode, the FEX fabric links are bundled into a single logical link (see Figure 18) to provide higher bandwidth to the servers. Depending the FEX, up to 8 links can be port-channeled.
