The Cisco UCS X9508 chassis:
The Cisco UCS® X-Series Modular System begins with the Cisco UCS X9508 chassis, engineered to be adaptable and future ready. It is a standard, open system designed to deploy and automate faster in concert with your hybrid cloud environment.
With a midplane-free design, I/O connectivity for the X9508 chassis is accomplished with front-loading, vertically oriented compute nodes intersecting with horizontally oriented I/O connectivity modules in the rear of the chassis. A Unified Ethernet fabric is supplied with the Cisco UCS 9108 Intelligent Fabric Modules. Cisco UCS X-Fabric Technology interconnects enable connectivity between the compute and resource nodes using PCIe Gen4 and will supply other industry-standard protocols as standards emerge. Interconnections can be easily updated with new modules.
The 7 rack-unit (7RU) Cisco UCS X9508 chassis has 8 flexible slots that can house a combination of compute nodes and a pool of current and future I/O resources that may include GPU accelerators, disk storage, and nonvolatile memory.
UCS X440p Gen4 PCIe Node:
The Cisco UCS X440p Gen4 PCIe Node is a new node type that is now supported in the UCS X9508 chassis. This can be attached to UCS X215c compute node in the UCS X9508 chassis to provide GPU accelerators support using the UCS 9416 X-Fabric modules for UCS X9508 chassis.
The Cisco UCS X440p PCIe Node is the first PCIe resource node to integrate into the Cisco UCS X-Series Modular System. Up to four PCIe Nodes can reside in the 7-Rack-Unit (7RU) Cisco UCS X9508 Chassis and can be paired with one compute node each, offering up to four GPUs to a Cisco UCS X215c Compute Node with Cisco UCS X-Fabric Technology.
UCS X215c M8 Compute Node:
The Cisco UCS X215c M8 Compute Node is integrated into the Cisco UCS X-Series Modular System. Up to eight compute nodes can reside in the 7-Rack-Unit (7RU) Cisco UCS X9508 Chassis, offering one of the highest densities of compute, IO, and storage per rack unit in the industry.
The Cisco UCS 6536 Fabric Interconnect (FI):
The Cisco UCS 6536 Fabric Interconnect (FI) is a core part of the Cisco Unified Computing System, providing both network connectivity and management capabilities for the system (Figure 2). The Cisco UCS 6536 Fabric Interconnect offer line-rate, low-latency, lossless 10/25/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and Fibre Channel functions.
The Cisco UCS 6536 Fabric Interconnect provide the management and communication backbone for the Cisco UCS X-Series compute nodes, UCS X9508 X-series chassis, UCS B-Series Blade Servers, UCS 5108 B-Series Server Chassis, UCS Managed C-Series Rack Servers, and UCS S-Series Storage Servers. All servers attached to a Cisco UCS 6536 Fabric Interconnect become part of a single, highly available management domain. In addition, by supporting a unified fabric, Cisco UCS 6536 Fabric Interconnect provides both the LAN and SAN connectivity for all servers within its domain.
