Network Connectivity
This section explains how the UCS B22 M3 server connects to Fabric Interconnects using the network I/O
adapters in the UCS B22 M3 blade server and the Fabric Extender modules in the UCS 5108 blade server
chassis. The UCS B22 M3 server plugs into the front of the UCS 5108 blade server chassis. The Fabric
Extender modules plug into the back of the UCS 5108 series blade server chassis. A midplane connects the
UCS B22 M3 blade server to the Fabric Extenders.
Figure 9 shows an example configuration where two 2 x
10G KR ports are routed from the VIC 1240 adapter to the Fabric Extender modules, and two 2 x 10G KR
ports are routed from the mezzanine adapter to the Fabric Extender modules.

The server accommodates two types of network I/O adapters. One is the Cisco VIC 1240 network I/O
adapter. The other is a Cisco, Emulex, or QLogic I/O adapter or Cisco UCS Storage Accelerator mezzanine
adapter. The VIC 1240 is the only adapter that can be used in the VIC 1240 (adapter 1) slot. All other types
of adapters plug into the mezzanine (adapter 2) slot.
