Chassis Components
This section lists an overview of chassis components.
Cisco UCS X9508 Server Chassis
The Cisco UCS X9508 Series server chassis is a scalable and flexible chassis for today’s and tomorrow’s data
center that helps reduce total cost of ownership.
The chassis is seven rack units (7 RU) high and can mount in an industry-standard 19-inch rack with square
holes for use with cage nuts. The chassis can house up to eight full height Cisco UCS X210c M6 compute
nodes.
Up to six hot-swappable AC power supplies are accessible from the front of the chassis. These power supplies
can be configured to support nonredundant, N+1 redundant, N+2 redundant, and grid-redundant configurations.
The rear of the chassis contains four hot-swappable fans, six power connectors (one per power supply), two
horizontal top slots for Intelligent Fabric Modules (IFM1, IFM2), and two additional horizontal bottom slots
for X-Fabric modules.
Scalability is dependent on both hardware and software. For more information, see the appropriate UCS
software release notes .
Compute Nodes
The Cisco UCS X Series compute nodes are based on industry-standard server technologies and provide the
following:
• Up to two Intel multi-core processors
• Front-accessible, hot-swappable NVMe drives or solid-state disk (SSD) drives
• Depending on the compute node, support is available for up to two adapter card connections for up to
200 Gbps of redundant I/O throughput
• Industry-standard double-data-rate 4 (DDR4) memory
• Remote management through an integrated service processor that also executes policy established in
Cisco Intersight cloud-based server management.
• Local keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) and serial console access through a front console port on each
compute node
Cisco UCS X210c M6 Compute Node
The Cisco UCS X210c M6 is a two-socket compute node that hosts a maximum of two M6 CPUs. This
compute node is supported in the Cisco UCS X9508 server chassis, which provides power and cooling. Data
interconnect for the compute node to other data center equipment is supported through Intelligent Fabric
Modules in the same server chassis.
Each Cisco UCS X210c M6 compute node has Cisco-standard indicators on the face of the module. Indicators
are grouped for module-level information, and drive-level indicators.
