Description

The Cisco UCS X-Series Direct Fabric Interconnect 9108 100G installs in the rear I/O slots of a UCS X9508 chassis and lets edge, remote and branch sites connect straight to top-of-rack switches without separate external fabric interconnects. It suits small data centres running HCI, virtual server infrastructure and VDI workloads, and customers migrating from UCS Mini to UCS X-Series Direct.

Each module provides 8 x QSFP28 external ports, made up of 6 x 40/100GbE ports and 2 unified ports that handle 40/100GbE or Fibre Channel breakout. The network data path is 1.6 Tbps, and the server data path is also 1.6 Tbps across 8 compute nodes, at 1x100G or 4x25G per node. Ethernet runs at 1/10/25/40/100 Gbps and Fibre Channel at 8/16/32 Gbps in end-host or switch mode, with up to 8 appliance ports and latency under 1 microsecond. The perpetual UCSX-S9108-SW licence is included and activates all ports and software features.

It works with QSFP28 100G optics such as QSFP-100G-SR4-S and QSFP-100G-LR4-S, QSFP-100G copper and AOC cables, and 40G QSFP optics. Management is through Cisco Intersight or UCS Manager 4.3(4b) or later. Power is drawn from the chassis, with a consumption of 237 W.

FAQs

Q: Does it need a separate software licence?
A: No. The perpetual UCSX-S9108-SW licence is included with this part and activates all ports and software features. Management through Cisco Intersight or UCS Manager is required, and Intersight needs its own licence tier.

Q: How is it powered?
A: It is powered by the UCS X9508 chassis and has no separate power supply. Power consumption is 237 W, and the on-board fans run from 54/48 VDC.

Q: Which chassis and software does it work with?
A: It installs in the UCS X9508 chassis, and two fabric interconnects are required for production use. It needs UCS Manager 4.3(4b) or later, or Intersight Managed Mode 4.3(4) or later.

Q: Which optics and cables does it support?
A: It supports QSFP28 100G optics including QSFP-100G-SR4-S, QSFP-100G-LR4-S, QSFP-100G-SR-BiDi, QSFP-100G-CWDM4-Lite, QSFP-100G-SL4, QSFP-100G-DR-S, QSFP-100G-FR-S and QSFP-100G-SR1.2. It also supports QSFP-100G copper and AOC cables and 40G QSFP optics.

Q: Can it carry Fibre Channel traffic?
A: Yes. The 2 unified ports (ports 1-2) support Fibre Channel breakout at 8/16/32 Gbps, giving up to 8 x 32G FC ports through breakout cables. It runs in end-host or switch mode.
