System Overview
The Cisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis and its components are part of the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS), which uses the Cisco UCS 5108 server system with the two I/O modules and the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects to provide advanced options and capabilities in server and data management. All servers are managed via the GUI or CLI with Cisco UCS Manager.
The Cisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis system consists of the following components:
-
Chassis versions:
-
Cisco UCS 5108 server chassis–AC version (UCSB-5108-AC2 or N20-C6508)
-
Cisco UCS 5108 server chassis–DC version (UCSB-5108-DC2 or UCSB-5108-DC)
-
-
I/O module (IOM) versions:
-
Cisco UCS 2408 I/O Module (UCS-IOM-2408)—Up to two I/O modules, each with 8 25-Gigabit SFP28 uplink ports and 32 10-Gigabit backplane ports
-
Cisco UCS 2304 I/O Module (UCS-IOM-2304V2 or UCS-IOM-2304)—Up to two I/O modules, each with 4 configurable 40-Gigabit uplink ports and 8 40-Gigabit backplane ports
Note
You cannot mix UCS-IOM-2304V2 and UCS-IOM-2304 in the same chassis. UCS-IOM-2304V2 requires Cisco UCS Manager 4.0(4) or later.

-
Cisco UCS Mini Server Chassis, which is a smaller solution, consists of the following components:
-
Cisco UCS 5108 server chassis–AC version (UCSB-5108-AC2)
-
Cisco UCS 5108 server chassis–DC version (UCSB-5108-DC2)
-
Cisco UCS 6324 Fabric Interconnect for the UCS Mini system (UCS-FI-M-6324)—Up to two integrated fabric interconnect modules, each providing four SFP+ ports of 10-Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and a QSFP+ port. This FI fits into the I/O module slot on the rear of the chassis.
