Overview
The Cisco UCS E-Series Servers (E-Series Servers) and the Cisco UCS E-Series Network Compute Engine
(NCE) are a family of size-, weight-, and power-efficient blade servers that are housed within the Generation
2 Cisco Integrated Services Routers (Cisco ISR G2) and the Cisco ISR 4000 series. These servers provide a
general-purpose compute platform for branch-office applications deployed either as bare-metal on operating
systems, such as Microsoft Windows or Linux, or as virtual machines on hypervisors, such as VMware vSphere
Hypervisor, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Citrix XenServer.
The E-Series Servers are purpose-built with powerful Intel Xeon processors for general-purpose compute.
They come in the following form factors: single-wide and double-wide. The single-wide E-Series Server fits
into one server module (SM) slot, and the double-wide E-Series Server fits into two SM slots.
The NCEs are price-to-power optimized modules that are built to host Cisco network applications and other
lightweight general-purpose applications. They come in three form factors: SM, EHWIC, and NIM. The SM
E-Series NCE fits into one SM slot, the NIM E-Series NCE fits into one NIM slot, and the EHWIC E-Series
NCE fits into two EHWIC slots.
EHWIC E-Series NCE can be installed in the Cisco ISR G2 only.
Note
• NIM E-Series NCE can be installed in the Cisco ISR 4000 series only.
