Compatible With: Cisco UCS B200 M4 Blade Server

Cisco UCS B200 M4 Blade Server offers four types of adapters
- Cisco Virtual Interface Cards (VICs)
These VICS provide flexibility to create multiple NIC (Network Interface Card) and HBA (Host Bus Adapter) devices. The VICs also support adapter Fabric Extender and Virtual Machine Fabric Extender technologies.

- Converged Network Adapters (CNAs)
Emulex and QLogic Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) consolidate Ethernet and Storage (FC) traffic on the Unified Fabric by supporting FCoE.

- Cisco UCS Storage Accelerator Adapters
Cisco UCS Storage Accelerator adapters are designed for the Cisco UCS B-series M3 blade servers to allow improvement in performance and relief of I/O bottlenecks.

- Graphics Processing Unit (GPUs)
NVIDIA GPUs are designed for the Cisco UCS B Series M4 blade servers and provide processing power to offload from the CPUs.

There are two slots on the Cisco UCS B200 M4 Blade Server.
One slot accommodates Cisco, Emulex, and QLogic I/O adapters or Cisco Storage Accelerator adapters and other options
The other slot is dedicated for the VIC 1340 or 1240 adapter only.
Only the VIC 1340 or 1240 adapter plugs into the VIC 1340/1240 mLOM slot.
All other adapters plug into the mezzanine adapter slot.

To support cards that plug into the mezzanine connector, you must have a B200 M4 configured with 2 CPUs.

1200 Series VICs benefits include enabling advanced networking features including Netflow for network statistics, and DPDK, USNIC for low-latency computing applications.

1300 Series VICs benefits include the 1200 Series features plus network overlay offload support for NVGRE and VXLAN, RoCE services and PCIe Gen 3.0.
