Cisco UCS 2208XP Installation Guide

half-width Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers and can accommodate both half- and full-width blade form
factors.
Up to four hot-swappable AC, DC or HVDC power supplies are accessible from the front of the chassis. These
power supplies can be configured to support nonredundant, N+1 redundant, and grid-redundant configurations.
The rear of the chassis contains eight hot-swappable fans, four power connectors (one per power supply), and
two I/O bays for I/O modules. A passive backplane provides support for up to 80 Gbps of I/O bandwidth to
each half-width blade and 160 Gbps of I/O bandwidth to each full width-blade.
Scalability is dependent on both hardware and software. For more information, see UCS 2104 to UCS 2200
Series FEX Upgrade Considerations, on page 77 and the appropriate UCS software release notes.
LEDs
LEDs on the chassis indicate system connectivity and failure warnings. See LED Locations, on page 35 for

is observable remotely from UCS Manager.
