SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Upgrade and Servicing-Related Parts This section lists the upgrade and servicing-related parts you may need during the life of your server. Some of these parts are configured with every server or with every UCS 5108 blade server chassis, and some may be ordered when needed or may be ordered and kept on hand as spares for future use. See Table 25. Table 25 Upgrade and Servicing-related Parts for UCS B22 M3 Server Spare Product ID (PID) Description N20-BBLKD= 2.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/hw/chassis/install/b22.html#wp1034829 CPU Removal and Installation (“pick n place”) Tool Set The Pick n Place tool set includes two tools: ■ Pick and pull cap tool - used to pull off the plastic protective cap covering an empty CPU socket and to remove or lift a CPU processor without touching it Pick and place tool - used to install a CPU in its socket without damage.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL CPU Heat Sink Cleaning Kit The cleaning kit is used to remove the existing thermal compound from the bottom of the heat sink during a CPU replacement process. Instructions for cleaning are found at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/hw/chassis/install/b22.html#wp1010281 NOTE: When you purchase a spare CPU, the CPU cleaning kit is included.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Network Connectivity This section explains how the UCS B22 M3 server connects to Fabric Interconnects using the network I/O adapters in the UCS B22 M3 blade server and the Fabric Extender modules in the UCS 5108 blade server chassis. The UCS B22 M3 server plugs into the front of the UCS 5108 blade server chassis. The Fabric Extender modules plug into the back of the UCS 5108 series blade server chassis. A midplane connects the UCS B22 M3 blade server to the Fabric Extenders.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL The network adapter options are: ■ VIC 1240 adapter. This adapter plugs into the VIC 1240 (adapter 1) slot and is natively capable of 4x10Gb ports and 256 PCIe devices. ■ VIC 1280 Mezzanine adapter. This adapter plugs into the mezzanine (adapter 2) slot and is capable of 4x10Gb ports in the UCS B22 M3 server, depending on the Fabric Extender chosen (see Table 8 on page 17) and 256 PCIe devices. ■ Emulex or QLogic I/O adapter or Cisco UCS Storage Accelerator mezzanine adapter.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Mezzanine Adapters There are multiple options for the mezzanine slot: ■ I/O-based PCIe adapters (such as network adapters), or ■ Cisco UCS Storage Accelerators (such as memory cards) NOTE: In a B22 M3 configured with 2 CPUs, if a UCS B22 M3 blade server does not have a VIC 1240 installed, the mezzanine slot is required to have a network adapter installed. In a B22 M3 configured with 1 CPU, however, a VIC 1240 must always be installed.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL B22 M3 Configured with 1 CPU In a B22 M3 configured with 1 CPU, the mezzanine card slot (adapter 2 slot) is not under the control of a CPU (in a B22 M3 configured with 2 CPUs, CPU 2 controls the adapter 2 slot). Therefore, in this configuration, no adapter is supported in the adapter 2 slot and the VIC 1240 is always required to be installed in the adapter 1 slot.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Figure 12 VIC 1240 to UCS 2204XP Fabric Extender (no mezzanine adapter) Connectivity using the Cisco UCS 2104XP Fabric Extender The option shown in Figure 13 demonstrates how a 1-CPU server is connected to the Cisco UCS 2104XP. One port from the VIC 1240 is channeled to 2104XP Fabric Extender A and one is channeled to 2104XP Fabric Extender B. The result is 10 Gbps of bandwidth to each Fabric Extender.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL B22 M3 Configured with 2 CPUs Connectivity using the Cisco UCS 2208XP Fabric Extender The Cisco UCS 2208XP is the second-generation Fabric Extender, and shares the same form factor as the current UCS 2100 series. The 2208XP is backwards compatible with the UCS 5108 Blade server chassis.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL In Figure 15, there is no mezzanine adapter installed. Two ports from the VIC 1240 are channeled to 2208XP Fabric Extender A and two are channeled to 2208XP Fabric Extender B. The result is 20 Gbps of bandwidth to each Fabric Extender. Figure 15 Option 2 - VIC 1240 to UCS 2208XP Fabric Extender (no mezzanine adapter) In Figure 16, two ports from the VIC 1240 are channeled to 2208XP Fabric Extender A and two are channeled to 2208XP Fabric Extender B.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL In Figure 17, two ports from the VIC 1240 are channeled to 2208XP Fabric Extender A and two are channeled to 2208XP Fabric Extender B. The Emulex or QLogic I/O adapter installed in the adapter 2 slot also channels one port to each of the Fabric Extenders. The result is 30 Gbps of bandwidth to each Fabric Extender.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL 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.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL In Figure 20, there is no mezzanine adapter. One port from the VIC 1240 is channeled to 2204XP Fabric Extender A and one is channeled to 2204XP Fabric Extender B. The result is 10 Gbps of bandwidth to each Fabric Extender. Figure 20 Option 2 - VIC 1240 to UCS 2204XP Fabric Extender (no mezzanine adapter) In Figure 21, one port from the VIC 1240 is channeled to 2204XP Fabric Extender A and one is channeled to 2204XP Fabric Extender B.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL In Figure 22, one port from the VIC 1240 is channeled to 2204XP Fabric Extender A and one is channeled to 2204XP Fabric Extender B. The Emulex or QLogic I/O adapter installed in the adapter 2 slot also channels one port to each of the Fabric Extenders. The result is 20 Gbps of bandwidth to each Fabric Extender.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Connectivity using the Cisco UCS 2104XP Fabric Extender The options shown in Figure 24 and Figure 25 demonstrate how the UCS B22 M3 blade serves connects to a UCS 2104XP Fabric Extender. In Figure 24, one port from the VIC 1240 is channeled to 2104XP Fabric Extender A and one is channeled to 2104XP Fabric Extender B. The result is 10 Gbps of bandwidth to each Fabric Extender.
