Interconnect Features

A Cisco UCS 6100 series fabric interconnect is a top-of-rack fabric interconnect that provides Ethernet
and Fibre Channel to all servers in the rack. Servers connect to the fabric interconnect, and it connects
to the LAN or SAN.
This family of fabric interconnects connect UCS servers to 10 Gigabit Ethernet 1, 2, and 4 Gbps Fibre
Channel networks, and provides consolidated I/O connectivity to both production Ethernet LANs and
Fibre Channel SANs in a cost-effective, high-performance, low-latency environment.
The Cisco UCS 6100 series has the following characteristics:

Depending on the model and expansion modules used, 20 to56 ports are on the back of the chassis.
The Cisco UCS 6120XP has 20 ports on the base system and can be upgraded with one expansion
module. The Cisco UCS 6140XP has 40 ports on the base system and can be upgraded with two
expansion modules.
There are four expansion modules available for the Cisco UCS 6100 series: N10-E0080 (eight Fiber
Channel ports), N10-E0060 (six Fiber Channel ports), N10-E0600 (six 10-Gbps Ethernet ports), and
N10-E0440 (four 10-Gbps Ethernet ports and four Fibre Channel ports).
Two slots on the front of the chassis for hot swap-capable power supplies.
Two slots on the front of the chassis for fan modules. Each fan module houses six fans. The
combination of six fans for each module and two modules provides the chassis with 12 fans.
