SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL
In Figure 18, two ports from the VIC 1240 are channeled to 2208XP Fabric Extender A and two are
channeled to 2208XP Fabric Extender B. The Port Expander Card for VIC 1240 installed in the mezzanine slot
acts as a pass-through device to channel two ports to each of the Fabric Extenders. The result is 40 Gbps of
bandwidth to each Fabric Extender.
Figure 18 Option 4 - VIC 1240 and Port Expander Card for VIC 1240 to UCS 2208XP Fabric Extender
In Figure 19, there is no VIC 1240 adapter installed. In this case, a network adapter must be installed in the
mezzanine slot. Port A and B of the mezzanine adapter connect to the Fabric Extenders, providing 10 Gbps
per port.
