Connectivity using the Cisco UCS 2204XP Fabric Extender
The Cisco UCS 2208XP is a second-generation Fabric Extender, and shares the same form factor as the
current UCS 2100 series. The 2204XP is backwards compatible with the UCS 5108 Blade serve chassis.
The options shown in Figure 19 through Figure 23 demonstrate how the server uses these options:
■ Emulex or QLogic I/O adapter to 2204XP
■ VIC 1240 to 2204XP
■ VIC 1240 and Cisco UCS Storage Accelerator adapter to 2204XP
■ VIC 1240 and Emulex or QLogic I/O adapter to 2204XP
■ VIC 1240 and VIC 1280 to 2204XP
In Figure 19, there is no VIC 1240 adapter installed. In this case, a network adapter must be installed in the
adapter 2 slot. Ports A and B of the mezzanine adapter connect to the Fabric Extenders, providing 10 Gbps
per port.
