THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL
STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT
SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE
OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following inform ation is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required
to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not
installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital
devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television
communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its
peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits
controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Product Overview

This describes the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects and their components, and includes the following
sections:

• Interconnect Features, page 1-1

• Cisco UCS 6120XP Chassis, page 1-2

• Cisco UCS 6140XP Chassis, page 1-4

• Expansion Modules, page 1-6

• Fan Module, page 1-16

• LED Descriptions, page 1-17

• Supported Transceivers, page 1-18

Interconnect Features

A Cisco UCS 6100 series fabric interconnect is a top-of-rack fabric interconnect that provides Ethernet
and Fibre Channel to all servers in the rack. Servers connect to the fabric interconnect, and it connects
to the LAN or SAN.

This family of fabric interconnects connect UCS servers to 10 Gigabit Ethernet 1, 2, and 4 Gbps Fibre
Channel networks, and provides consolidated I/O connectivity to both production Ethernet LANs and
Fibre Channel SANs in a cost-effective, high-performance, low-latency environment.

The Cisco UCS 6100 series has the following characteristics:

• Depending on the model and expansion modules used, 20 to56 ports are on the back of the chassis.

The Cisco UCS 6120XP has 20 ports on the base system and can be upgraded with one expansion
module. The Cisco UCS 6140XP has 40 ports on the base system and can be upgraded with two
expansion modules.

• There are four expansion modules available for the Cisco UCS 6100 series: N10-E0080 (eight Fiber

Channel ports), N10-E0060 (six Fiber Channel ports), N10-E0600 (six 10-Gbps Ethernet ports), and
N10-E0440 (four 10-Gbps Ethernet ports and four Fibre Channel ports).

• Two slots on the front of the chassis for hot swap-capable power supplies.

• Two slots on the front of the chassis for fan modules. Each fan module houses six fans. The

combination of six fans for each module and two modules provides the chassis with 12 fans.

Cisco UCS 6120XP Chassis

The Cisco UCS 6120XP chassis is 1 RU, 1.72 inches tall, 17.3 inches wide and 30.0 inches deep. It
mounts in a standard 19-inch rack (the Cisco R Series Rack is an ideal choice). The chassis has two
power supplies and two fan modules on the front of the chassis, and it has network ports on the rear of
the chassis. The airflow is front to back.

Expansion modules allow Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect to be configured as cost-effective
10-Gigabit Ethernet fabric interconnects and as I/O consolidation platforms with native Fibre Channel
connectivity. The Cisco UCS 6120XP has one slot for an optional uplink expansion module. The Cisco
UCS 6140XP has two slot for an optional uplink expansion module.There are several modules that can
be accommodated in this slot:

• N10-E0440 provides 4 10G SFP+, and 4 Fibre Channel 1/2/4G SFP-based uplink connections. The

10GE ports are encryption capable.

• N10-E0600 provides 6 10G SFP+ based uplink connections.

The chassis supports hot swapping of the expansion modules. If the expansion modules are not in place,
a cover plate should be used to ensure proper airflow in the chassis.

Ports

Cisco UCS 6120XP

Each individual port is numbered, and groups of ports are numbered based on their function. The ports
are numbered top to bottom and left to right.

There are 20 to 28 ports on the Cisco UCS 6120XP, depending on which expansion module is installed.
The fixed ports form group 1 and are named 1/port_number. Ports 1 through 16 are unencrypted Ethernet
ports. Of these, ports 1 through 8 are 10-Gigabit Ethernet and 1-Gigabit Ethernet-capable ports. Ports 17
