About the Cisco UCS-IOM-2304 Cisco UCS fabric interconnect / I/O module / component
The Cisco UCS-IOM-2304 I/O module is validated for deployment within the Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis, delivering unified fabric connectivity for Cisco UCS B-Series half-width and full-width blade servers. This fabric extender component integrates seamlessly with Cisco UCS 6200 Series, 6300 Series, and 6400 Series Fabric Interconnects, enabling scalable, centralized management across blade infrastructure.
The UCS-IOM-2304 serves as a remote line card within the Cisco UCS fabric architecture, eliminating the need for standalone I/O module management through its integration with Cisco UCS Manager. Network engineers and infrastructure teams benefit from its active-active redundancy support when dual modules are installed in slots 1 and 2 of the chassis. This component is chassis-powered, drawing all electrical requirements directly from the UCS 5108 midplane, which simplifies deployment and reduces cable clutter. The module supports both Ethernet and FCoE protocols across a unified fabric, consolidating storage and LAN traffic on a single infrastructure.
