PID Description

UCS-6324-40G

Mini FI License for 40G Scalability Port

Caveats



You should order enough SFPs, QSFPs and cables to accommodate your maximum
foreseeable needs.



If you selected a QSFP+ transceiver, make sure you choose a QSFP+ port license.



For the 6324, observe the following:

Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis

CONFIGURING the CHASSIS

—

The maximum number of SFP+ transceivers, SFP optical transceivers, copper
transceivers, or Twinax cables must be less than or equal to four. A minimum of one
of these must be installed for the 6324 to have network connectivity.

—

The maximum number of Fibre Channel SFPs must be less than or equal to three.
The reason for this is that at least one SFP+ port on the 6324 must be free so the
6324 can connect to a network.

Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis

CONFIGURING the CHASSIS

STEP 5

CHOOSE POWER SUPPLIES

The 5108 blade chassis accommodates up to four power supplies.
Choose Power Supplies
The available power supplies are listed in Table 10.

(1) Choose from 2 to 4 power supplies
Caveats



You must select either an AC, DC, or HVDC version of the 5108 blade chassis, which is
configured with the appropriate input power module (AC, DC or HVDC).



Mixing AC, DC or HVDC PSUs within the same 5108 blade chassis is not supported.



The blade chassis input power module cannot be replaced in the field to convert the input
type e.g. converting a DC input to an AC input blade chassis.

System Overview
The Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS™) is a next-generation data center platform that unites
compute, network, storage access, and virtualization resources into a cohesive system designed to reduce
total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility. The system integrates a low-latency, lossless
unified fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers. The system is an integrated, scalable,
multichassis platform in which all resources participate in a unified management domain.

Cisco UCS and Blade Server Access
In a multilayer data center design, you can replace core Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches with the Cisco
Nexus 9500 platform, or replace the core with the Cisco Nexus 9500 platform and the access layer with the
Cisco Nexus 9300 platform. You can also connect an existing Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®)
and blade server access layer to Insieme hardware (Figures 9 and 10).

Figure 10

Classic Design Using Cisco Nexus 7000 and 5000 Series and Fabric Extenders

Cisco UCS Fabric Extenders bring the unified fabric into the blade server enclosure, providing multiple 10 or
40 Gigabit Ethernet connections between blade servers and the fabric interconnect, simplifying diagnostics,
cabling, and management.
The Fabric Extenders extend the I/O fabric between the Cisco UCS 6200 or 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects
and the Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis, enabling a lossless and deterministic Fibre Channel over
Ethernet (FCoE) fabric to connect all blades and chassis together. Since the fabric extender is similar to a
distributed line card, it does not perform any switching and is managed as an extension of the fabric
interconnects. This approach removes switching from the chassis, reducing overall infrastructure
complexity and enabling Cisco UCS to scale to many chassis without multiplying the number of switches
needed, reducing TCO and allowing all chassis to be managed as a single, highly available management
domain.
The Fabric Extenders also manage the chassis environment (the power supply and fans as well as the
blades) in conjunction with the fabric interconnect. Therefore, separate chassis management modules are
not required.
The Fabric Extenders fit into the back of the Cisco blade chassis. Each blade chassis can support up to two
fabric extenders, allowing increased capacity and redundancy.

Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL

Connectivity between each unique blade and the Fabric Extenders varies according to the type of blade, its
available adapter card slots, and the type of card plugged into each slot. See the individual blade server
spec sheets for detailed connectivity information and connectivity diagrams at this link:

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL

Connectivity
This section explains the connectivity between the Fabric Interconnects (FIs) and Fabric Extenders (FEX).
The Fabric Extenders are extensions of the Fabric Interconnects and act as remote line cards to form a
distributed modular fabric system. The fabric extension is accomplished through the FEX fabric link, which
is the connection between the Fabric Interconnect and the FEX.
A minimum of one connection between the FI and FEX is required to provide server connectivity. Depending
on the FEX model, subsequent connections can be up to eight links, which provides added bandwidth to the
servers.

5108 Blade Chassis Server Connectivity
For the 5100 blade chassis series, the Fabric Extender modules (up to two) plug into the back of the UCS
5108 series blade server chassis. A midplane connects the blade servers to the Fabric Extenders. The 5108
chassis accommodates the following FEXs:


Cisco UCS 2304
NOTE: The Cisco UCS 2304 Fabric Extender is not compatible with the Cisco UCS
6200 Fabric Interconnect series



Cisco UCS 2208XP



Cisco UCS 2204XP

Figure 11 shows how the FEX modules in the blade chassis connect to the FIs.

Blade Chassis Connection Types
In a blade chassis, the FEX fabric link (the link between the FEX and the FI) supports two different types of
connections:


Discrete Mode



Port Channel Mode

In discrete mode, a half-width server slot is pinned to a given FEX fabric link. The supported number of links
are 1, 2, 4, and 8, as shown in Figure 12. The figure shows how each FEX fabric link services a particular
slot. It is an example of four FEX fabric link connections.

Fabric Extender Bundles
You can order three kinds of Fabric Extender bundles:
UCS-IOM2208-16FET
UCS-IOM2204-8FET
UCS-IOM-2304-8FET
The bundle includes a pair of Fabric Extender Transceivers (FETS) per FEX port.
NOTE: Cables connecting the Fabric Extender to the Fabric Interconnect using your
own multimode fiber (MMF) optical cables must have the same SFP (FET-10G= or
FET-40G=) on each end. Both the Fabric Extender ports and the corresponding Fabric
Interconnect ports should implement the same SFP or QSFP; otherwise, the servers
in the blade chassis might not be discovered.
The FETs are in an SFP+ and QSFP+ form-factor and support 10 Gbps or 40 Gbps full-duplex transmissions
between the Fabric Extender and Fabric Interconnect, using your own multimode fiber (MMF) optical
cables. The reach is 25 meters using MMF OM2 optical cables and 100 meters using MMF OM3 or OM4 optical
cables.
If you do not order the bundle that includes the transceivers, you can order the transceivers separately as
spares (PIDs: = FET-10G= or FET-40G=).
