Figure 9 VIC 1240 Port Connectivity
The number of ports available at the mezzanine adapter depends on the type of mezzanine adapter that is
plugged into the mezzanine slot on the system board. The maximum number of ports is four. The VIC 1240
senses the type of adapter plugged into the mezzanine slot. In the event a Port Expander Card for VIC 1240
occupies the mezzanine slot, the four 10G KR ports between the adapters are used for port expansion;
otherwise, they are unused.
Mezzanine Adapters
There are multiple options for the mezzanine slot:
■ I/O-based PCIe adapters (such as network adapters), or
■ Cisco Storage Accelerator adapters (such as Fusion-io and LSI cache cards)
Specific examples of mezzanine adapters are:
■ Cisco adapters
— VIC 1240
— VIC 1280
— Port Expander Card for VIC 1240
■ Emulex or QLogic I/O adapters
—Emulex M73KR-E
NOTE: In a B200 M3 configured with 2 CPUs, if a UCS B200 M3 blade server does not
have a VIC 1240 installed, the mezzanine slot is required to have a QLogic or Emulex
I/O adapter installed to provide I/O connectivity. In a B200 M3 configured with 1
CPU, however, a VIC 1240 must always be installed.
