Technical Specifications

This appendix lists the technical specifications for the Cisco UCS X9508 server chassis.

KVM Cable

The KVM cable (UCSX-C-DEBUGCBL) provides a connection into a Cisco UCS compute node, providing a DB-9 serial connector, a DB-15 connector, and a USB ports for a keyboard and mouse. With this cable you can create a direct connection to the operating system and the BIOS running on a compute node.

Input connector

IEC320 C20

System input power connectors are located in the chassis PEMs, not on the power supply

For information about supported power cords, see Technical Specifications.

Supported AC Power Cords and Plugs

The AC power connectors on the chassis PEM use an IEC 320 C20 socket. Each chassis power supply has a separate power cord. The power cord that you use to connect the power supply units to an AC power source will have an IEC 320 C19 plug on one end and on the other end one that conforms to the AC power outlet specifications for your country. See the following table to determine which cord to order for your chassis power supply units. When you determine which power cord you need to order, you can verify that its plugs conform to the power outlets for your facility by clicking on its reference link.

The jumper power cords, for use in racks, are available as an optional alternative to the standard power cords. The optional jumper power cords have an IEC C19 connector (such as a Cisco RP Series PEM) on the end that plugs into the chassis’ PEM and an IEC C20 connector on the end that plugs into an IEC C19 outlet receptacle. For more information, contact your Cisco Systems representative.


Note

Only the regular power cords or jumper power cords provided with the chassis are supported.
