All supported adapter cards have a common installation process. A list of currently supported and available
adapters for this server is in the
The UCS B200 M4 blade server has two adapter slots (Slots 1 [mLOM slot] and 2) that support the following
VIC cards:
• VIC 1340 and VIC 1380
• VIC 1240 and VIC 1280
Slot 1 is for the VIC 1340 or VIC 1240 mLOM adapter cards. Slot 2 is for the VIC 1380 and VIC 1280 cards,
and can also be used for the VIC port expander, the nVidia M6 GPU, the Intel Crypto accelerator card, and
non-I/O mezzanine cards, such as Fusion ioMemory 3 Series.
Note When the Cisco Nexus 2104XP Fabric Extender (FEX) module is used, the VIC 1280 and the VIC port
expander cards are ignored because there are no traces on the Cisco 2104XP to connect to any VIC or IO card
installed in Slot 2.
The VIC 1340 and VIC 1380 require a Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnect or Cisco UCS 6300 Series
Fabric Interconnect, and they support the Cisco Nexus 2208XP, 2204XP, 2348UPQ FEX modules.
The VIC 1240 and VIC 1280 support Cisco UCS 6200 and 6100 Series Fabric Interconnects, and they support
the Cisco Nexus 2208XP, 2204XP, and 2104XP FEX modules. When a VIC 1240 or 1280 is used with a UCS
6100 Series Fabric Interconnect, the UCS B200 M4 blade server requires a maximum software release of
2.2(x) for Cisco UCS Manager.
If you are switching from one type of adapter card to another, before you physically perform the switch make
sure that you download the latest device drivers and load them into the server's operating system. For more
