What's New for Cisco X9508 M7 7U Enclosure
  •  Chassis with or without IFM, PSU - Nodes are not offered/configurable in this SKU
  • Supports Up to (8) Nodes
  • (4) Nodes Options | x210c, x210c Universal, x210c GPU or X440p GPU
  • (2) Intelligent Fabric Modules (IFMs)
  • (2) X-Fabric Modules (X-FMs)

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.

Spec Sheet 4

Capability/Feature Description
7 RU Chassis The X9508 chassis has 8x front-facing flexible slots. These can house a combination of compute nodes and a pool of future I/O resources that may include GPU accelerators, disk storage, and nonvolatile memory.
Compute Node Support
  • General
    • Support for 2-CPU single slot and 4-CPU dual slot compute nodes
  • Compute Nodes
    • Supports CPUs and future GPUs with 300W+ TDP, and 900W+ per compute node TDP
    • Support for highest end DDR/persistent memory configurations
    • Support for a minimum of 2 Mezzanine slots for premium VIC, GPU, and FPGA expansion
Intelligent Fabric Module 2x Cisco UCS 9108 Intelligent Fabric Modules (IFMs) at the top of the chassis that connect the chassis to upstream Cisco UCS 6400 series or 6536 Fabric Interconnects. Each IFM features the following:
  • Up to 100 Gbps of unified fabric connectivity per compute node
  • 8x 25-Gbps SFP28 or 8x 100-Gbps QSFP28 uplink ports
  • The unified fabric carries management traffic to the Cisco Intersight cloud-operations platform, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) traffic, and production Ethernet traffic to the fabric interconnects
Fabric Interconnect Module 2x Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect 9108 100G Modules (FIs) at the top of the chassis that connect the chassis to upstream Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches. Each FI features the following:
  • Up to 100 Gbps of unified fabric connectivity per compute node
  • Integrated 1/10/25/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet, FCoE, and Fibre Channel switch offering up to 1.6 Tbps throughput and up to 8 ports. The switch has 6 40/100-Gbps Ethernet ports and 2 unified ports that can support 40/100-Gbps Ethernet ports or 8 Fibre Channel ports after break-out at 8/16/32-Gbps FC speeds
Cisco UCS X-Fabric technology At the bottom rear of the X9508 chassis are slots ready to house X-Fabric modules that can flexibly connect the compute modules with I/O devices. The "X" in Cisco UCS X-Fabric technology denotes a variable that can evolve with new technology developments.
