Byincorporating unified fabric, integrated, embedded management, and fabric extender technology, the CiscoUnified Computing System enables the chassis to have fewer physical components, no independentmanagement, and to be more energy efficient than traditional blade server chassis.This simplicity eliminates the need for dedicated chassis management and blade switches, reduces cabling,and enables the Cisco Unified Computing System to scale to 40 chassis without adding complexity. The CiscoUCS 5108 server chassis is a critical component in delivering the Cisco Unified Computing System benefitsof data center simplicity and IT responsiveness.Table 1: Features and BenefitsFeatureBenefitManagement by CiscoUCS ManagerReduces total cost of ownership by removing management modules from thechassis, making the chassis stateless.Provides a single, highly available management domain for all system chassis,reducing administrative tasks.Unified fabricDecreases TCO by reducing the number of network interface cards (NICs), hostbus adapters (HBAs), switches, and cables needed.Support for one or twoCisco UCS 2100 Seriesor Cisco UCS 2200FEXes or UCS 2304IOM, and support for oneor two Cisco UCS 6324Fabric Interconnects inthe UCS Mini chassisEliminates switches from the chassis, including the complex configuration andmanagement of those switches, allowing a system to scale without addingcomplexity and cost.Auto discoveryRequires no configuration; like all components in the Cisco Unified ComputingSystem, chassis are automatically recognized and configured by Cisco UCSManager.Allows use of two I/O modules for redundancy or aggregation of bandwidth.Enables bandwidth scaling based on application needs; blades can be configuredfrom 1.25 Gbps to 40 Gbps or more.Cisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis Installation Guide3

When configured with the 6324 FabricInterconnect, only 8 half-width B200 M3 blades are supported.ComponentsCisco UCS 5108 Server ChassisThe Cisco UCS 5100 Series Blade Server Chassis is a scalable and flexible blade server chassis for today’sand tomorrow’s data center that helps reduce total cost of ownership. There are two versions available thatcan be configured for AC (N20-C6508 and UCSB-5108-AC2) and two versions that can be configured forDC (UCSB-5108-DC and UCSB-5108-DC2) power environments. An additional version (UCSB-5108-HVDC)is available that can be configured for 200 - 380V DC environments.Is six rack units (6 RU) high and can mount in an industry-standard 19-inch rack with square holes (such asthe Cisco R Series Racks) or in round hole racks when an adapter is used. The chassis can house up to eightCisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis Installation Guide4
OverviewBlade Servershalf-width Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers and can accommodate both half- and full-width blade formfactors.Up to four hot-swappable AC, DC or HVDC power supplies are accessible from the front of the chassis. Thesepower supplies can be configured to support nonredundant, N 1 redundant, and grid-redundant configurations.The rear of the chassis contains eight hot-swappable fans, four power connectors (one per power supply), andtwo I/O bays for I/O modules. A passive backplane provides support for up to 80 Gbps of I/O bandwidth toeach half-width blade and 160 Gbps of I/O bandwidth to each full width-blade.Scalability is dependent on both hardware and software. For more information, see UCS 2104 to UCS 2200Series FEX Upgrade Considerations, on page 75 and the appropriate UCS software release notes.LEDsLEDs on the chassis indicate system connectivity and failure warnings. See LED Locations, on page 35 fordetails. There is also a flashing blue Beaconing LED and button that can be triggered manually or remotelyfrom UCS Manager.ButtonsThe beaconing function LED is also a feature on/off button. When triggered, beaconing of the server chassisis observable remotely from UCS Manager.ConnectorsThere are no user connectors such as RJ-45 ports on the chassis itself.MidplaneThe integral chassis midplane supports the following: 320 G total bandwidth to each of two I/O Modules Auto-discover of all components Redundant data and management paths 10 G Base-KRThe midplane is an entirely passive device.Blade ServersThe Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers are based on industry-standard server technologies and provide thefollowing: Up to two or four Intel multi-core processors, depending on the server Front-accessible, hot-swappable hard drives or solid-state disk (SSD) drives Depending on the server, support is available for up to three adapter card connections for up to 160 Gbpsof redundant I/O throughputCisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis Installation Guide5
