System Overview
The Cisco UCS X9508 Server Chassis and its components are part of the Cisco Unified Computing System
(UCS), which uses the Cisco UCS M6 compute node and its two Intelligent Fabric Modules (IFMs) along
with the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects to provide advanced options and capabilities in server and data
management. All servers are managed through the GUI or API with Cisco Intersight.
The Cisco UCS X9508 Server Chassis system consists of the following components:
• Chassis versions:
• Cisco UCS X9508 server chassis–AC version
• Intelligent Fabric Modules (IFMs), two deployed as a pair:
• Cisco UCS 9108 25G IFMs (UCSX-I-9108-25G)—Two I/O modules, each with 8 25 Gigabit SFP28
optical ports
• Power supplies—Up to six 2800 Watt, hot-swappable power supplies
• Fan modules—Four hot-swappable fan modules
• Up to 8 UCS X Series compute nodes, including the Cisco UCS X210c M6 compute nodes
(UCSX-210C-M6), a full height compute node that contains one or two CPUs and up to six hard drives.
The following figures show the server chassis front and back.
