You connect a Cisco 5548UP Nexus switch to a FEX. Next, you install a Cisco 5108 blade server chassis.
Which of the following servers are you least likely to install in this configuration? (Choose two.)
- Cisco UCS C240 M4
- Cisco UCS C220 M4
- Cisco B200 M4
- Cisco B260 M4
- Cisco B420 M4
Of the available choices, you are least likely to install a Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) C220 M4 server or a Cisco UCS C240 M4 server. The Cisco UCS 5108 is a blade server chassis for Cisco B-Series blade servers. The Cisco 5108 blade server chassis can accommodate eight half-width blade servers or four full-width blade servers. In this scenario, you have installed a Cisco 5108 blade server and connected a Cisco UCS 5548UP Nexus switch to a fabric extender (FEX).
The Cisco UCS C220 M4 and the Cisco UCS C240 M4 are Cisco C-Series rack servers, not Cisco B-Series blade servers. C-Series rack servers are rack-mountable standalone servers and do not require a B-Series server chassis. The Cisco C220 M4 is a 1-rack unit (RU) server that supports a maximum of eight internal disk drives and has a dual 1-gigabit per second (Gbps) and 10-Gbps embedded Ethernet controller. The Cisco UCS C240 M4, on the other hand, is a 2-RU server that supports a maximum of 24 internal disk drives and has a quad 1-Gbps embedded Ethernet controller.
The Cisco B200 M4, Cisco B260 M4, and Cisco B420 M4 are all Cisco B-Series blade servers. Therefore, any of these servers can be installed in the Cisco 5108 blade server chassis. The Cisco B200 M4 server is a half-width blade server that supports up to 80-Gbps throughput. The B260 M4 server is a half-width blade server that supports up to 160-Gbps throughput. The B420 M4 server is also a half-width blade server that supports up to 160-Gbps throughput. However, the B420 M4 server supports 6.4 terabytes (TB) of storage and can be deployed in one of four Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) configurations. The B260 M4 server, on the other hand, supports 2.4 TB of storage and either RAID 0 or RAID 1 configurations.
