SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL DIMM Population Recommended DIMM Populations Table 19 shows the recommended DIMM slot populations.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Network Connectivity This section explains how the UCS B22 M3 server connects to Fabric Interconnects using the network cards in the UCS B22 M3 blade server and the Fabric Extender modules in the UCS 5108 blade server chassis. The UCS B22 M3 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 B22 M3 blade server to the Fabric Extenders.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL The network card options are: ■ VIC 1240 modular LOM card. This card is natively capable of 4x10Gb ports and 256 PCIe devices. ■ VIC 1280 Mezzanine Card. This VIC card is capable of 4x10Gb ports in the UCS B22 M3 server, depending on the Fabric Extender chosen (see Table 8 on page 16) and 256 PCIe devices. ■ Third-party Mezzanine Cards. See Table 7 on page 15 for descriptions. NOTE: The bandwidth/port count on these cards depends on the Fabric Extender.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Mezzanine Cards Options for the mezzanine slot include I/O-based PCIe cards (such as network adapters) NOTE: In a 2-CPU configuration, if a UCS B22 M3 blade server does not have a modular LOM card installed, the mezzanine slot is required to have a network adapter installed.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Connectivity using the Cisco UCS 2208XP Fabric Extender The Cisco UCS 2208XP is the second-generation Fabric Extender, and shares the same form factor as the current UCS 2100 series. The 2208XP is backwards compatible with the UCS 5108 Blade server chassis.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL In Figure 12, two ports from the VIC 1240 are channeled to 2208XP Fabric Extender A and two are channeled to 2208XP Fabric Extender B. The VIC 1280 installed in the mezzanine slot also channels two ports to each of the Fabric Extenders. The result is 40 Gbps of bandwidth to each Fabric Extender.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL In Figure 14, there is no modular LOM card installed. In this case, a network card must be installed in the mezzanine slot. Porta A and B of the mezzanine card connect to the Fabric Extenders, providing 10 Gbps per port.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Connectivity using the Cisco UCS 2204XP Fabric Extender The Cisco UCS 2208XP is a second-generation Fabric Extender, and shares the same form factor as the current UCS 2100 series. The 2204XP is backwards compatible with the UCS 5108 Blade serve chassis.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL In Figure 16, one port from the VIC 1240 is channeled to 2204XP Fabric Extender A and one is channeled to 2204XP Fabric Extender B. The VIC 1280 installed in the mezzanine slot also channels one port to each of the Fabric Extenders. The result is 20 Gbps of bandwidth to each Fabric Extender.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL In Figure 18, there is no modular LOM card installed. In this case, a network card must be installed in the mezzanine slot. Porta A and B of the mezzanine card connect to the Fabric Extenders, providing 10 Gbps per port.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Connectivity using the Cisco UCS 2104XP Fabric Extender The option shown in Figure 19 demonstrates how the UCS B22 M3 blade serves connects to a UCS 2104XP Fabric Extender. In Figure 15, one port from the VIC 1240 is channeled to 2104XP Fabric Extender A and one is channeled to 2104XP Fabric Extender B. The result is 10 Gbps of bandwidth to each Fabric Extender.
