Revised: August 28, 2019

Cisco UCS B200 M3 Blade Server

The Cisco UCS B200 M3 is an Intel-based, half-width blade supporting two CPU sockets using Intel E5-2600 series CPUs and up
to 24 DIMMs; it supports one modular LOM (dedicated slot for Cisco's Virtual Interface Card) and one mezzanine adapter. At this
time, the UCS B200 M2 (second generation) server is still available and is documented elsewhere. You can install up to eight UCS
B200 Blade Servers to a UCS chassis, mixing with other models or Cisco UCS blade servers in the chassis if desired.

LEDs
Server LEDs indicate whether the blade server is in active or standby mode, the status of the network link, the overall health of the
blade server, and whether the server is set to give a blinking blue locator light from the locator button.
The removable drives also have LEDs indicating hard disk access activity and disk health.

Asset tag
Each server has a blank plastic
tag that pulls out of the front

you can add your own asset
tracking label without
interfering with the intended air
flow.
