The Cisco UCS X-Series Modular System starts with the X9508 chassis, designed for adaptability and hybrid cloud integration. Its midplane-free architecture enables I/O connectivity via front-loading compute nodes intersecting with rear I/O modules, supported by PCIe Gen4 and future protocols.

The 7RU chassis houses up to 8 flexible slots for compute nodes, GPUs, disk storage, and NVMe resources. Two intelligent fabric modules connect to Cisco UCS 6400/6536 Fabric Interconnects, while X-Fabric Technology facilitates modular updates for evolving technologies. Six 2800W PSUs provide efficient power delivery with multiple redundancy options. Advanced thermal management supports future liquid cooling for high-power processors.

The Cisco UCS X-Series Direct adds self-contained integration with internal Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects 9108, enabling unified fabric connectivity and management through Cisco Intersight or UCS Manager.

Mezzanine Adapter (Rear)
  • An optional Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card 14825 can occupy the server’s mezzanine slot at the bottom of the chassis. A bridge card extends this VIC’s 2x 50 Gbps of network connections up to the mLOM slot and out through the mLOM’s IFM connectors, bringing the total bandwidth to 100 Gbps per fabric—a total of 200 Gbps per server.
  • An optional UCS PCIe Mezz card for X-Fabric is also supported in the server’s mezzanine slot. This card’s I/O connectors link to the Cisco UCS X-Fabric modules for X-series Gen4 PCIe node access.
mLOM
  • The modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM) cards (the Cisco UCS VIC 14425/15420 and 15230) is located at the rear of the compute node.

    • The Cisco UCS VIC 14425/15420 is a Cisco designed PCI Express (PCIe) based card that supports two 2x25G-KR network interfaces to provide Ethernet communication to the network by means of the Intelligent Fabric Modules (IFMs) in the Cisco UCS X9508 chassis. The Cisco UCS VIC 14425 mLOM can connect to the rear mezzanine adapter card with a bridge connector.
    • The Cisco UCS VIC 15230 is a Cisco designed PCI Express (PCIe) based card that supports two 2x100G-KR network interfaces to provide Ethernet communication to the network by means of the Intelligent Fabric Modules (IFMs) in the Cisco UCS X9508 chassis.
