Cisco UCS B22 M3 Blade Server
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL
36
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.
Modular LOM Card
The only card that can be plugged in to the modular LOM connector is the VIC 1240, a Cisco-designed
PCIe-based card that in the UCS B22 M3 server provides up to four (depending on the Fabric Extender option
chosen) 10 Gigabit Data Center Ethernet (DCE) network interfaces.
Two ports are wired through the UCS 5108 Blade Server chassis to Fabric Extender A and to Fabric Extender
B as represented in
Figure 10.
Figure 10 Modular LOM Card Port Connectivity
The number of ports available at the mezzanine card depend on the type of mezzanine card that is plugged
into the mezzanine connector on the system board. The maximum number of ports is four. The VIC 1240
card senses the type of card plugged into the mezzanine slot.
NOTE: The bandwidth/port count on these cards depends on the Fabric Extender.
For example, the VIC 1280 only supports up to 4x10Gb in this blade because each
mezzanine slot (or mLOM slot) only supports up to 4x10Gb.
