Page 30: Network Connectivity
This section explains how the UCS B440 M2 server connects to Fabric Interconnects using the network I/O adapters in the UCS B440 M2 blade server and the Fabric Extender modules in the UCS 5108 blade server chassis. The UCS B440 M2 server plugs into the front of the UCS 5108 blade server chassis. The Fabric Extender modules plug into the back of the UCS 5108 series blade server chassis. - Page 31 VIC 1280 Mezzanine adapter. This adapter plugs into either mezzanine slot and is capable of ■ 4x10Gb ports in the UCS B440 M2 server, depending on the Fabric Extender chosen (see Table 10 on page 16) and 256 PCIe devices.
- Page 32 QLogic adapters). Ports A and B of each adapter connect to the Fabric Extenders, providing 10 Gbps per port, for a total of 40 Gbps throughput. Figure 10 Two Emulex or QLogic I/O Adapters to UCS 2204/2208XP Fabric Extender Cisco UCS B440 M2 Blade Server...
