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.
Figure 9 shows an example configuration where two 2 x 10G KR ports are
routed from the VIC 1240 modular LAN-on-motherboard (LOM) card to the Fabric Extender modules, and
two 2 x 10G KR ports are routed from the mezzanine card to the Fabric Extender modules.

The server accommodates two types of network cards. One is the Cisco VIC 1240 modular
LAN-on-motherboard (mLOM) card. The other type is a mezzanine card. The VIC 1240 is the only card that
can be used in the modular LOM connector. All other types of cards plug into the mezzanine PCIe connector.
