Choose two IFMs of same type

You can not mix IFM and integrated FI in the same chassis

The unified fabric in the Cisco UCS X9508 chassis supports Ethernet and Fibre Channel over FCoE, connecting to fabric interconnects for management via Cisco Intersight, FCoE to Fibre Channel interfaces, and Ethernet traffic to the data center network.

Up to two Intelligent Fabric Modules (IFMs) serve as line cards, managing data multiplexing, chassis resources, and compute node communication. They ensure redundancy and failover with paired configurations.

Each IFM features 8x SFP28 (25 Gbps) or 8x QSFP28 (100 Gbps) connectors, linking compute nodes to fabric interconnects. Compute nodes interface with IFMs via upper mezzanine cards (mLOMs) using orthogonal connectors. Supported configurations include UCS 9108-25G, 9108-100G IFMs, or Fabric Interconnect 9108 100G.

Cisco UCS 9108-25G IFM:

• Server ports: Up to 50 Gbps of unified fabric connectivity per compute node with two IFMs.
• Uplink ports: 8x 25-Gbps SFP28 ports.

Cisco UCS 9108-100G IFM:

• Server ports: Up to 200 Gbps of unified fabric connectivity per compute node with two IFMs.
• Uplink ports: 8x 100-Gbps QSFP8 ports.

Choose two FI

You can not mix IFM and integrated FI in the same chassis

The Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect 9108 100G is a high-performance switch offering up to 1.6 Tbps throughput with 6x 40/100-Gbps Ethernet ports and 2 unified ports supporting Ethernet or 8 Fibre Channel ports (8/16/32-Gbps). All ports support FCoE, and breakout options enable 10/25-Gbps Ethernet or 1-Gbps Ethernet.

It provides eight 100G or thirty-two 25G backplane connections to X-Series compute nodes, depending on the VIC used. Additional features include a network management port, console port, and USB port for configuration.

The X-Fabric modules are required when the server chassis contains the Cisco UCS X440p PCIe node

The X-Fabric module is not required if your server chassis contains only Cisco UCS X-Series compute nodes, such as the Cisco UCS X210c.

X-Fabric Modules are always deployed in pairs to support GPU acceleration through the Cisco UCS X440p PCIe nodes. Therefore, two PCIe modules must be installed in a server chassis that contains any number of PCIe nodes

Configuring Cisco UCS X210c or X410c Compute Nodes in the X9508 chassis with mLOM and mezzanine VICs provides up to 200 Gbps network bandwidth and enables connectivity to PCIe I/O devices via X-Fabric modules. These modules allow direct PCIe Gen4 connections between compute nodes, storage, and communication devices, reducing cost, power, and latency.

The Cisco UCS X9416 X-Fabric supports x16 high-speed PCIe Gen4 links from each module to compute nodes, with slots located at the chassis rear. Compute nodes connect directly to the X-Fabric modules via mezzanine cards, eliminating the need for a midplane.

Following combinations can be used to connect the Cisco UCS X210c or X410c node to the Cisco UCS PCIe node via Cisco UCS X9416 X-Fabric.

• UCS VIC 14425 mLOM card and mezzanine-form-factor virtual interface card or the Cisco UCS PCIe Mezz card for X-Fabric.
• UCS VIC 15230 mLOM card and mezzanine-form-factor virtual interface card or the Cisco UCS PCIe Mezz card for X-Fabric.

For the server chassis to support any number of Cisco UCS X440p PCIe Nodes, both Cisco UCS X9416 Fabric Modules must be installed to provide proper PCIe signaling and connectivity to the node slots on the front of the server chassis.

The X9508 chassis accommodates up to six power supplies. The six dual feed power supplies provide an overall chassis power capability of greater than 9000 W, and can be configured as N, N+1, N+2, or N+N redundant.

Choose from 2 to 6 power supplies ■ If node quantity 1 is selected, then minimum 2 quantity of PSU is required ■ If node quantity 2 to 6 is selected, then minimum 4 quantity of PSU is required ■ If node quantity 7 or 8 is selected, then minimum 6 quantity of PSU is required
