Special Considerations for the Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card (N2XX-ACPCI01)
The Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card is a standard-profile, half-length, dual-port 10 Gb PCIe card
with SFP+. See the following special considerations and prerequisites:
• This card is supported in server Generations M1 and M2.
• This server supports installation of one of these cards.
• This card is supported only in PCIe slot 2 of this server.
Note This card must be installed in PCIe slot 2 to use the Cisco Card NIC mode (see Figure 3-15 on
page 3-27). See also NIC Modes and NIC Redundancy Settings, page 2-12.
• This card requires that the server has CIMC firmware version 1.2(1) or later installed. There is a
heartbeat LED on the top and bottom of the card that indicates when firmware is active.
• This card requires that you have the new power supply model R2X0-PSU2-650W-SB. A 5A standby
mode has been added to these power supplies to support this card. See
How to Identify Which Power
Supply Model is in Your Server, page 3-28.
• Both power supplies must be model R2X0-PSU2-650W-SB. Do not mix power supply models in the
same server.
