Drive Bays
The Cisco UCS B200 M5 blade server has a front mezzanine slot that can support either a storage module or
a graphics processing unit (GPU). The storage module has two drive bays that can be configured with any
combination of 2.5-inch SAS, SATA, or NVMe drives. A blanking panel (UCSB-LSTOR-BK) must cover
all empty drive bays.
Graphics Processing Unit
An NVIDIA GPU can be installed in the front mezzanine slot of the server. When the GPU is installed, the
drive bay is not present. Two blanking panels (UCSB-LSTOR-BK) are required when the GPU is installed
in the front mezzanine slot. For additional information about the GPU, see NVIDIA P6 Graphics Processing
Unit, on page 42.
