SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL System Overview The Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS™) is a next-generation data center platform that unites compute, network, storage access, and virtualization resources into a cohesive system designed to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility. The system integrates a low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers.
Therefore, separate chassis management modules are not required. The Fabric Extenders fit into the back of the Cisco UCS 5108 chassis. Each Cisco UCS 5108 chassis can support up to two fabric extenders, allowing increased capacity and redundancy.
B200/B230 M1/M2Connectivity (Half-Width Blades with One Mezzanine Slot) Figure 8 shows in general how the B200/B230 M1/M2 blade servers connect to the fabric extenders in the UCS 5108 chassis. Several cards are available for use in the card adapter slot (see Table 15 on page 23).

Figure 12 shows in general how the B250/B440 M1/M2 blade servers connect to the fabric extenders in the UCS 5108 chassis. Several cards are available for use in the two card adapter slots (see Table 16 on page 27). Note that adapter slot 0 is on the right when the server is viewed from the rear and slot 1 is on the left.
