The Cisco Port Expander Card for VIC is a mezzanine adapter designed to enhance network throughput on Cisco UCS Blade Servers by expanding the capabilities of specific VICs, such as the VIC 1240 and VIC 1340. Installed in the mezzanine slot, it acts as a pass-through device, channeling additional network connections to the fabric extenders. This configuration enables up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth per Fabric Extender, effectively doubling the server's available I/O bandwidth compared to a standalone VIC. It does not function as a standalone adapter but rather complements compatible VICs to deliver dual 4x10 Gbps port configurations, making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications that require high-speed and redundant network paths
