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 server supports installation of up to two of these cards.
• These cards are supported only in PCIe slots 1 and 2 of this server.
Note This card must be installed in PCIe slot 1 to use the Cisco Card NIC mode (see Figure 3-26 on
page 3-34). See also NIC Modes and NIC Redundancy Settings, page 2-11.
• 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.
