As a part of Cisco's Unified Computing System, the Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis is designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind. It offers the cooling, power, and network connections for several different blade server form factors, including both single and dual-socket platforms. Several generations of UCS Blade servers are supported on this chassis.
Compute, memory, and storage are handled by the compute modules, which connect to the network through either fabric connects or fabric extenders. Power is provided by up to 4x hot-swappable 2200W PSUs, which occupy the bottom tier on this 6U blade server. Up to 4x full-width, 8x half-width, or a combination of the two are supported in the four top rows in the front of the chassis.
Compute is provided by the server nodes which feature dual or quad-processor configurations. With support for generations M1 thru M5 it also supports several different processors in each of the systems. M5 platforms represent the most current generation and support Intel Xeon Scalable processors from the 1st and 2nd generation. The Cisco UCS B480 M5 Server blade is a 4-socket server node that supports up to 4x Intel Xeon Scalable processors, up to 28 cores and up to 48x memory modules for up to 18TB of memory. The half-width UCS B200 M5 blade server delivers 2-socket performance and supports up to 6TB of memory using 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors in 12 of the 24 memory module slots.
Memory is provided in the supported compute nodes and varies depending on generation and CPU support.
Limited storage is available on the supported server nodes with the 4-socket modules supporting up to four storage devices and the half-width models just two. However, additional external storage can be added to supports specific workloads through Cisco's UCS S-Series storage servers.
Virtual Interconnect Controllers, or VICs, connect in the supported mezzanine slots on the blade servers and connect to either one or two Fabric Expanders or a Fabric Interconnector. The high-performance midplane connects the server nodes to the Fabric Extenders or the Fabric Interconnect to provide connection speeds of up to 40GbE through a QSFP+ transceiver connection. Other connection speeds and transceiver options are available.
Management of the Cisco 5108 Blade Server Chassis is through the Unified Computing System Manager or UCS Manager for short. There are several other applications under the Unified Computing Systems umbrella including Cisco's Auto Discovery capability, which automatically recognizes and configures new chassis added to the network. Additional applications provide more granular control of the system's virtual and physical hardware assets.
The Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis offers an easy and highly expandable platform to support a variety of workloads with several supported server blade options.
