B200 M4 Configured with 2 CPUs
Connectivity using the Cisco UCS 2208XP Fabric Extender
The Cisco UCS 2208XP is the second-generation Fabric Extender, and shares the same form factor as the
current UCS 2100 Series. The 2208XP is backwards compatible with the UCS 5108 Blade serve chassis.
The options shown in Figure 17 through Figure 19 demonstrate how the server uses these options:
■ VIC 1340/1240 to 2208XP
■ VIC 1340/1240 and VIC 1380/1280 to 2208XP
■ VIC 1340/1240 plus Port Expander Card for VIC to 2208XP
In Figure 17, two ports from the VIC 1340/1240 are channeled to 2208XP Fabric Extender A and two are
channeled to 2208XP Fabric Extender B. The result is 20 Gbps of bandwidth to each Fabric Extender.
Figure 17 Option 1 - VIC 1340/1240 to UCS 2208XP Fabric Extender (no mezzanine adapter)
NOTE: A Cisco Storage Accelerator adapter may also be plugged into the mezzanine
adapter. There is no network connectivity for this kind of adapter; instead it
provides high-speed storage to the system and is controlled by CPU 2.
