Cisco UCS B22 M3 Blade Server

CONFIGURING the SERVER

STEP 5 CHOOSE MODULAR LOM and/or PCIe MEZZANINE CARDS

The card offerings are:

■ Virtual Interface Cards (VICs)

Cisco-developed Virtual Interface Cards (VICs) provide the flexibility to create multiple NIC and

HBA devices. The VICs also support adapter Fabric Extender and Virtual Machine Fabric Extender

(FEX) technologies.

■ Converged Network Adapters (CNAs)

Industry-standard Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) consolidate Ethernet and Storage (FC)

traffic on the Unified Fabric by supporting FCoE.

■ Network Interface Cards (NICs)

Industry-standard Network Interface Cards (NICs) provide Ethernet connectivity to the server.

Choose a Mezzanine Option Card

The supported mezzanine cards in the UCS B22 M3 are listed in Table 7.

NOTE: There are two connectors on the server to accommodate mezzanine cards.

One is a connector that accommodates Cisco and third-party PCIe CNA and NIC cards

and one is a dedicated modular LAN-on-motherboard (mLOM) connector for the VIC

1240 card only.

Table 7 shows which cards plug into each of the two connectors.

Only the VIC 1240 card plugs into the mLOM connector. All other cards plug into the

PCIe mezzanine connector.

NOTE: You must have a 2-CPU system to support cards that plug into the mezzanine

connector. The VIC 1240 mLOM card is supported on both 1- and 2-CPU configured

systems.
