BASE CHASSIS STANDARD CAPABILITIES and FEATURES
BASE CHASSIS STANDARD CAPABILITIES and FEATURES
Table 3 lists the capabilities and features of the base 5108 chassis. Details about how to configure the
chassis for a particular feature or capability are provided in CONFIGURING the CHASSIS on page 10.
Table 3 Capabilities and Features
Capability/Feature Description
Management by Cisco
UCS Manager
■Reduces TCO by removing management modules from the chassis,
making the chassis stateless, and UCS systems management inherently
scalable
■Provides a single, highly available management domain for all system
chassis, reducing administrative tasks through automated service profile
configuration
Unified fabric Decreases TCO by reducing the number of network interface cards (NICs),
host bus adapters (HBAs),switches, and cables needed
Support for one or two
Cisco UCS 2100 or
2200 Series Fabric
Extenders
■Eliminates switches from the chassis along with complex configuration
and management of those switches, allowing a system to scale without
adding complexity and cost
■Allows use of two fabric extenders for redundancy or aggregation of
bandwidth
■Enables bandwidth scaling based on application needs; blades can be
configured for 1.25 Gbps to 10Gbps or more
Auto-discovery Requires no configuration; like all componentsin the Cisco Unified Computing
System,chassis are automatically recognized and configured by Cisco UCS
Manager and its service profiles and service profile groups
High-performance
mid-plane ■Provides investment protection
■Supports up to 2x 40 Gbit Ethernet links to each half-width blade slot or
up to 4x 40 Gbit links to each full-width slot
■Provides 8 blades with 1.2 terabits (Tb) of available Ethernet
throughput for future I/O requirements
■Provides reconfigurable chassis to accommodate a variety of form
factors and functions
Redundant
hot-swappablepower
supplies and fans
■Provides high availability in multiple configurations
■Provides uninterrupted service during maintenance
Hot-swappable blade
servers and fabric
extenders
Provides uninterrupted service during maintenance and server deployment
Comprehensive
monitoring
■Provides extensive environmental monitoring on each chassis
■Allows use of user thresholds to optimize environmental management of
the chassis

Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis
BASE CHASSIS STANDARD CAPABILITIES and FEATURES
9
Thermal efficiencies The Chassis Management Controller (CMC) monitors all the temperature
sensors and regulates fan speeds to maintain the airflow at the minimum
needed to cool the system. The open backplane and deep plenum allow air
to be directed across the blades to ensure cooling is directed where it is
needed most.
To o l - f r e e i n s t a l l a t i o n ■Requires no specialized tools for chassis installation
■Provides mounting rails for easy installation and servicing
Mixed blade
configurations The UCS 5108 Server Chassis can accommodatea maximum of 8 half-width sever blades or 4 full-widthserverbladesoranycombinations of the two sizes
that will fit in the chassis.
UCS Manager If a blade server using a v2 CPU (Ivy Bridge) is installed in the 5108 Server
Chassis, the chassis must be controlled with UCS Manager (UCSM) version
2.2.

CONFIGURING the CHASSIS
Choose Twinax Copper Cables
You can choose twinax copper cables of various lengths (from 1 to 10 meters) as shown in
Table 8. The two longer cables (7 and 10 meters) are active, which means that they contain
active components within the SFP+ connector housing to improve signal quality. The ends of
these cables are connectorized and plug directly into the Fabric Extender SFP receptacles on
one end and into the Fabric Interconnect SFP receptacles on the other end.
Approved Configurations
(1) Choose the number of transceivers or copper twinax cables according to the number of
Fabric Extender ports that are active that or will be become active in the future.
Caveats
■You should order enough SFPs and cables to accommodate your maximum forseeable needs.

System Overview
The Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS™) is a next-generation data center platform that unites
compute, network, storage access, and virtualization resources into a cohesive system designed to reduce
total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility. The system integrates a low-latency, lossless 10
Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers. The system is an
integrated, scalable, multichassis platform in which all resources participate in a unified management
domain (see Figure 7).
