This I/O module from the Cisco interface cards range is the UCS 2204XP fabric extender for the Cisco UCS 5108 blade server chassis, built with 4 external 10Gb ports facing the fabric interconnect and 16 internal 10Gb ports facing the chassis midplane.
The four external ports are 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ cages that handle FCoE traffic, and they connect the chassis to a Cisco UCS 6100 Series or 6200 Series fabric interconnect. Fabric PortChannel lets several of those fabric ports be bundled into one logical link.
Each UCS 5108 chassis takes up to two fabric extenders. With a pair of 2204XP modules fitted, the chassis has up to 80 Gbps of I/O toward the fabric interconnects. The module works alongside the fabric interconnect, which manages the chassis environment.
Cisco names the part UCS 2204XP I/O Module (4 External, 16 Internal 10Gb Ports), and its spare form is UCS-IOM-2204XP=. Of its 20 ports in total, four face outward and sixteen face inward.
