Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cisco UCS-IOM-2304 I/O Module used for?
The Cisco UCS-IOM-2304 is a 2304XP I/O Module that provides 4 external and 8 internal ports for connecting Cisco UCS blade and rack servers to the unified fabric. This module enables low-latency, lossless 10 GE and FCoE connectivity while supporting flexible unified ports for Ethernet, FCoE, and native Fibre Channel connectivity. We offer this accessory as part of our comprehensive Cisco UCS infrastructure solutions available from barcodesinc.com.
Which Cisco UCS chassis and servers is the UCS-IOM-2304 compatible with?
The UCS-IOM-2304 works as a fabric extender that distributes the unified fabric to blade and rack servers within Cisco UCS systems, including compatibility with the Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Chassis and various Cisco UCS server models. The module scales your system without adding additional management points, supporting configurations with Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects. Contact us today for detailed compatibility verification with your specific server configuration.
What are the connectivity specifications of the Cisco UCS-IOM-2304?
The UCS-IOM-2304 delivers up to 160 Gbps per blade chassis throughput when paired with Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects, with support for unified ports that handle Ethernet, FCoE, and native Fibre Channel protocols simultaneously. The module features both external and internal port configurations to optimize bandwidth distribution across your infrastructure.

How does the UCS-IOM-2304 compare to the UCS-2204XP in terms of performance?
The UCS-IOM-2304 is designed for higher-performance deployments, delivering up to 160 Gbps per blade chassis, while the Cisco UCS 2204XP provides up to 80 Gbps per blade chassis. The choice between these fabric extenders depends on your workload requirements and the number of blade servers in your Cisco UCS 5108 chassis. We can help you determine the right module for your infrastructure—contact us today.
Does the UCS-IOM-2304 require additional management configuration?
No, the UCS-IOM-2304 is designed to scale your Cisco UCS system without adding management points, reducing operational complexity and the number of active components. All aspects of identity, personality, and connectivity are configured through Cisco UCS Manager, providing centralized management across your entire unified fabric. This architecture also results in lower power consumption compared to traditional distributed management approaches.
What are the key advantages of using the UCS-IOM-2304 in a data center environment?
The UCS-IOM-2304 provides lossless, low-latency connectivity essential for demanding workloads while supporting flexible unified ports that eliminate the need for separate network adapters. By consolidating Ethernet, FCoE, and Fibre Channel onto a single fabric, you reduce cabling complexity and improve data center efficiency. Available from barcodesinc.com, this module is ideal for warehouse managers and logistics operations requiring reliable, high-performance server infrastructure.
