Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the Cisco UCS-IOM-2304 Fabric Extender? +
The Cisco UCS-IOM-2304 acts as a bridge between the UCS B-Series blade servers and the Cisco UCS 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects. It simplifies data center infrastructure by eliminating the need for separate management and I/O modules at the chassis level, effectively extending the fabric interconnect ports directly to the server blades for streamlined traffic flow.
How many ports does the Cisco UCS-IOM-2304 provide for server connectivity? +
The UCS-IOM-2304 is equipped with four 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports for upstream connectivity to the fabric interconnects and sixteen 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports for downstream connection to the blade servers. This high-density port configuration ensures that each blade in the chassis has sufficient bandwidth for demanding virtualization, database, and cloud computing workloads.
Is the UCS-IOM-2304 compatible with my existing Cisco UCS 5108 chassis? +
Yes, this I/O module is specifically designed for the Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis. It fits into the rear I/O slots, providing the necessary high-speed connectivity required to interface with updated fabric interconnects. Ensure your chassis midplane supports the throughput capabilities of the 2304 series to maximize overall system performance.
Does the UCS-IOM-2304 support I/O consolidation and virtualization? +
Absolutely. By integrating LAN and SAN traffic onto a single, unified fabric, this module reduces the number of network adapters and cables required. This design facilitates efficient virtualization, allowing administrators to manage network and storage traffic through a single policy-based management interface, which significantly reduces physical infrastructure complexity and cabling requirements.
What is the maximum throughput capacity supported by this module? +
The UCS-IOM-2304 leverages 40-Gbps connectivity per uplink port. When fully populated, the module provides substantial aggregate bandwidth to the chassis, supporting high-performance computing needs. The hardware is optimized to handle low-latency data transmission, making it ideal for modern enterprise environments where large-scale data processing and rapid application deployment are critical business requirements.
How does the UCS-IOM-2304 handle server-side connectivity redundancy? +
For mission-critical environments, these modules should be deployed in pairs within the UCS chassis. This redundant configuration ensures high availability; if one module experiences a failure or maintenance event, the secondary module seamlessly maintains the data path to the fabric interconnects, preventing downtime for your blade servers and ensuring continuous network access.
Is any special software or licensing required to manage the UCS-IOM-2304? +
This module is managed via the Cisco UCS Manager, which is centralized on the Fabric Interconnects. There is no specific per-device license required for the module itself; rather, it adheres to the existing licensing model of your UCS domain. Once physical installation is complete, the software automatically discovers and integrates the module into the UCS management fabric.
What environmental conditions are recommended for the Cisco UCS-IOM-2304? +
To maintain optimal reliability, the module must be installed in a standard data center environment with adequate airflow as provided by the UCS 5108 chassis cooling system. Keep the operating temperature within the manufacturer-recommended range to prevent thermal throttling or hardware shutdowns, which are critical to maintaining the longevity and performance of your enterprise blade infrastructure.
