Notes
1. In the server BIOS and on the motherboard, “Adapter 1,” “Adapter 2,” and “Adapter 3” are labeled as “mLOM,”
“Mezz 1,” and “Mezz 2,” respectively
2. The 2104XP fabric extender is not compatible with any network I/O card installed in adapter slot 2. However, a
Cisco UCS Storage Accelerator may be installed in adapter slot 3 if it is available.
3. This combination requires that both Storage Accelerators be identical.
