Connectivity using the Cisco UCS 2204XP Fabric Extender
The Cisco UCS 2204XP is a second-generation Fabric Extender, and shares the same form factor as the
current UCS 2100 Series. The 2204XP is backwards compatible with the UCS 5108 Blade serve chassis.
The options shown in Figure 20 through Figure 22 demonstrate how the server uses these options:
■ VIC 1340/1240 to 2204XP
■ VIC 1340/1240 and VIC 1380/1280 to 2204XP
■ VIC 1340/1240 plus Port Expander Card for VIC to 2204XP
In Figure 20, one port from the VIC 1340/1240 is channeled to 2204XP Fabric Extender A and one is
channeled to 2204XP Fabric Extender B. The result is 10 Gbps of bandwidth to each Fabric Extender.
Figure 20 Option 1 - VIC 1340/1240 to UCS 2204XP 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.
