CONFIGURING the SERVER
Caveats
■ A maximum of two storage accelerator cards are supported if they are half height; the
supported number of full height cards is one. Note that the Cisco 9300-8e 12G SAS HBA also
can only be installed in slot 1.
■ For 1-CPU systems:
— Only the full-height PCIe slot on riser 1 (slot 1) is supported
— Only a single PCIe VIC card is supported and must be installed in slot 1 (the
full-height slot). However, in addition to the one PCIe VIC card, you can also choose
to install an mLOM VIC card.
— If any of the Storage Accelerator cards are installed, they can be installed only in
slot 1.
■ For 2-CPU systems:
— Both PCIe slots (slots 1 and 2) are supported
— Only a single plug-in PCIe VIC card is supported and it can be installed in either slot
1 or slot 2. However, in addition to the one PCIe VIC card, you can also choose an
mLOM VIC card.
— If any of the Storage Accelerator cards are installed, they can be installed only in
slot 1.
■ Other considerations for the Cisco VIC 1225/1227//1227T1225T/1385 cards:
— VIC 1225 and VIC 1227/1227T support 10G SFP+ optical and copper twinax
connections
— VIC 1225T Supports RJ45 Category 6 or better twisted pair cable connections
— VIC 1385 supports a 4x10 Gbps QSFP to SFP breakout fiber cable.
— The server supports installation of two PCIe Cisco VIC 1225/1225T/1385 cards and
they are supported in PCIe slots 1 and 2. Slot 1 is the primary slot for UCSM
integration and for Cisco card NIC mode.
— For the Cisco UCS VIC1225, requires that the server has CIMC firmware version 1.4(6)
or later installed and VIC firmware of 2.1(0) or later. For the Cisco UCS VIC1225T,
requires that the server has CIMC firmware version 1.5(1) or later installed and VIC
firmware of 2.1(1) or later.
