Solved: B200M4 VIC 1340 with 1280 Adaptor mismatch

Hythim Ali El Hadad · ‎01-26-2016

Hi,

I have B200M3 and B200M4 servers in the same 5108 chassis. UCS 2.2.5a

B200M3 include 2 VICs : 1240 with 1280 and no faults reported

But the B200M4 include 1340 with 1280 and it give fault: Adaptor mismatch. with description: server 1/5 has invalid adaptor combination

So I think B200M4 should have 1380 to be compatible with the 1340. But I didn't find what confirm this on Cisco. So please confirm me that

Only I found the attached table and this table :

　Table 11 Supported VIC 1340/1240 and Mezzanine Adapter Configurations

Fabric Extender Compatibility	Adapter in VIC 1340/1240 Slot	Adapter in Mezzanine Slot	Ports	Reference
2208XP (PIDs UCS-IOM-2208XP, UCS-IOM2208-16FET)
2208XP	VIC 1340 or 1240	None	4 x 10 Gb	Figure 15 on page 59
2208XP	VIC 1340 or 1240	VIC 1380 or 1280	8 x 10 Gb	Figure 16 on page 60

Thanks

Hey Hythim,

As MJ pointed out, you would need the 1340 with the 1380 or the 1240 with the 1280.

HTH,
