Description

Cisco UCS X9508 Network Equipment Chassis

The Cisco UCS® X-Series Modular System begins with the Cisco UCS X9508 chassis, engineered to be adaptable and future ready. It is a standard, open system designed to deploy and automate faster in concert with your hybrid cloud environment.

With a midplane-free design, I/O connectivity for the X9508 chassis is accomplished with front-loading, vertically oriented compute nodes intersecting with horizontally oriented I/O connectivity modules in the rear of the chassis. A Unified Ethernet fabric is supplied with the Cisco UCS 9108 Intelligent Fabric Modules. Cisco UCS X-Fabric Technology interconnects enable connectivity between the compute and resource nodes using PCIe Gen4 and will supply other industry-standard protocols as standards emerge. Interconnections can be easily updated with new modules.

The 7 rack-unit (7RU) Cisco UCS X9508 chassis has 8 flexible slots that can house a combination of compute nodes and a pool of current and future I/O resources that may include GPU accelerators, disk storage, and nonvolatile memory.
