Cisco Unified Computing System Adapters: Mezzanine, Modular LOM, PCIExpress(half height)

[michaelgitonga]

Hi,

Regarding Cisco Unified Computing System Adapters, what is the difference between:

• Mezzanine
  
• Modular LOM
  
• PCIExpress(half height)
  

[Eric Rose]

Hi,

Mezzanine and Modular LOM are used on the blade archititure.

     Mezzazine are used for both Cisco VIC as well as 3rd Party mezzanine adapter

     MLOM is only used by Cisco for the VIC1240

PCIe Express cards are used in the rack mount servers and are regular PCI cards.

Hope this help.

• Mezzanine
• Modular LOM

Both are CNA adapters that go into UCS blade servers, MLOM is only available on B200 M3 at the moment.

PCIExpress(half height) goes into C-series server and is industry standard form factor for small size PCI-E cards.
