SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL
VIC 1240 and Port Expander for VIC 1240
Adapter slot 1 is dedicated to the VIC 1240 adapter, and no other adapter card can be installed in this slot.
There are two groups of four ports on the VIC 1240:
■
Two ports of the first group and two ports of the second group are wired through the UCS
5108 Blade Server chassis to Fabric Extender A and Fabric Extender B.
■
The other two ports of each group are wired to adapter slot 2. The VIC 1240 adapter senses
the type of adapter installed in adapter slot 2. If a Port Expander for VIC 1240 is installed in
adapter slot 2, the four 10G KR ports between the adapters are used for port expansion;
otherwise they are unused.
With the Port Expander for VIC 1240 installed, there are up to eight (depending on the Fabric Extender
installed) 10 Gb network interfaces, as represented in
Figure 10
