Cisco UCS B22 M3 Blade Server

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL
The network adapter options are:
■
VIC 1240 adapter. This adapter plugs into the VIC 1240 (adapter 1) slot and is natively
capable of 4x10Gb ports and 256 PCIe devices.
■
VIC 1280 Mezzanine adapter. This adapter plugs into the mezzanine (adapter 2) slot and is
capable of 4x10Gb ports in the UCS B22 M3 server, depending on the Fabric Extender chosen
(see
Table 8 on page 17
) and 256 PCIe devices.
■
Emulex or QLogic I/O adapter or Cisco UCS Storage Accelerator mezzanine adapter. These
adapters plug into the mezzanine (adapter 2) slot. The Cisco UCS Storage Accelerators do
not have network connectivity; instead they provide independent high-speed storage
controlled by CPU 2. See
Table 7 on page 17
for descriptions.
VIC 1240 Adapter
The only adapter that can be plugged in to the VIC 1240 slot is the VIC 1240, a Cisco-designed PCIe-based
adapter that in the UCS B22 M3 server provides up to four (depending on the Fabric Extender option chosen)
10 Gigabit Data Center Ethernet (DCE) network interfaces.
Two ports are wired through the UCS 5108 Blade Server chassis to Fabric Extender A and to Fabric Extender
B as represented in
Figure 10
.

NOTE:
External bandwidth is a function of both the fabric extender and the
adapter(s) installed. With two 2204XP fabric extenders, the maximum bandwidth per
half width B22 blade is 4 x 10Gb. With two 2208XP fabric extenders, the maximum
bandwidth per half width B22 blade is 8 x 10 Gb.
