Mezzanine Adapters
There are multiple options for the mezzanine slot:
■
I/O-based PCIe adapters (such as network adapters), or
■
Cisco UCS Storage Accelerators (such as memory cards)
Specific examples of mezzanine adapters are:
■
Cisco adapters
— VIC 1280
■
Emulex and QLogic I/O adapters
— Emulex M73KR-E
— QLogic M73KR-Q
■
Cisco UCS Storage Accelerators
— 785 GB MLC Fusion ioDrive2
— LSI 400 GB SLC WarpDrive
The following sections explain the various I/O options that are possible with the different Fabric Extenders
(Cisco UCS 2208XP, 2204XP, and 2104XP) and the VIC 1240 and mezzanine adapters.
NOTE:
In a B22 M3 configured with 2 CPUs, if a UCS B22 M3 blade server does not
have a VIC 1240 installed, the mezzanine slot is required to have a network adapter
installed. In a B22 M3 configured with 1 CPU, however, a VIC 1240 must always be
installed.
