Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis
Description
The Chassis Management Controller (CMC) monitors all the temperature
sensors and regulates fan speeds to maintain the airflow at the minimum
needed to cool the system. The open backplane and deep plenum allow air
to be directed across the blades to ensure cooling is directed where it is
needed most.
Requires no specialized tools for chassis installation
■
Provides mounting rails for easy installation and servicing
■
The UCS 5108 Server Chassis can accommodate a maximum of 8 half-width
sever blades or 4 full-width server blades or any combinations of the two sizes
that will fit in the chassis.
If a blade server using a v2 CPU (Ivy Bridge) is installed in the 5108 Server
Chassis, the chassis must be controlled with UCS Manager (UCSM) version
2.2.
