3.2.10 Cisco UCS B440 M1 High-Performance Blade Server
The Cisco UCS B440 M1 High-Performance Blade Server is a full-width, 4-socket system. Two or four Intel Xeon
7500 Series Processors with intelligent performance that automatically adapts to the diverse needs of a
virtualized environment and offers advanced reliability for mission-critical workloads. It supports 32 dual in-line
memory module (DIMM) slots and up to 256 GB at 1333 MHz based on Samsung's 40 nanometer class (DDR3)
technology. There is four optional front-accessible, hot-swappable Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFFP) drives
and an LSI SAS2108 RAID Controller. The Cisco UCS B440 M1 blade server can accommodate two dual-port
mezzanine cards for up to 40 Gbps I/O per blade. Options include a Cisco UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Card
(VIC) or converged network adapter (Emulex or QLogic compatible).

3.2.11 Cisco UCS M71KR-Q QLogic Converged Network Adapter
The Cisco UCS M71KR-Q QLogic Converged Network Adapter (CNA) is a QLogic-based FCoE mezzanine card
that provides connectivity for Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers in the Cisco Unified Computing System.
Designed specifically for the Cisco UCS blade servers, the adapter provides a dual-port connection to the
midplane of the blade server chassis. The Cisco UCS M71KR-Q uses an Intel 82598 10 Gigabit Ethernet
controller for network traffic and a QLogic 4-Gbps Fibre Channel controller for Fibre Channel traffic, all on the
same mezzanine card. The Cisco UCS M71KR-Q presents two discrete Fibre Channel host bus adapter (HBA)
ports and two Ethernet network ports to the operating system.
