Cisco UCS-IOM-2208XP 8-Port 10Gb Fabric Extender I/O Module – UCS 2208XP
The Cisco UCS-IOM-2208XP is a Cisco UCS 2208XP Fabric Extender and I/O Module designed for the Cisco UCS 5100 Series blade server chassis. It provides centralized chassis connectivity to Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects while extending Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connectivity to UCS blade servers.
The UCS 2208XP provides eight external 10Gb Ethernet/FCoE-capable SFP+ ports toward the Fabric Interconnect and 32 internal 10Gb ports through the chassis midplane. Two Fabric Extenders can be installed in a supported UCS chassis to provide increased capacity and redundancy.

How Cisco UCS-IOM-2208XP Works
The UCS 2208XP operates as a remote I/O module for the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect architecture. Its external SFP+ ports provide network-facing connections to the Fabric Interconnect, while its internal ports connect through the UCS chassis midplane to the blade servers.
With 32 internal 10Gb ports, the 2208XP can provide four 10Gb connectivity paths to each of the eight half-width blade slots in a UCS 5108 chassis. The Fabric Extender does not operate as an independent Ethernet switch; traffic is managed through the upstream Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect.
Cisco UCS-IOM-2208XP Compatibility
The UCS-IOM-2208XP is designed for compatible Cisco UCS 5100 Series blade server chassis, including the UCS 5108 chassis. Cisco documentation identifies the UCS 2208XP as one of the supported Fabric I/O Extender options for the UCS 5108.
Exact compatibility depends on the UCS chassis generation, Fabric Interconnect model, UCS Manager software version and installed server adapters. Verify the complete UCS configuration before installation.
