Bias-Free Language
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The Cisco UCS® X-Series Modular System begins with the Cisco UCS X9508 Chassis engineered to be adaptable and future ready. It is a standard, open system, designed to deploy and automate faster in concert with your hybrid-cloud environment.
With a midplane-free design, the X9508 chassis achieves I/O connectivity using frontloading, vertically oriented compute and accelerator nodes that intersect with horizontally oriented I/O connectivity modules in the rear of the chassis. A unified Ethernet fabric is supplied with UCS® 9108 Intelligent Fabric Modules.
UCS X9416 X-Fabric Module and UCS 9516 X-Fabric Module are part of the UCS X-Fabric Technology family suppling PCIe industry-standard protocols for GPU accelerators.
Eight flexible front-facing slots can house a combination of compute nodes and resource nodes such as GPUs. There are five compute nodes: Cisco UCS X215c M8 based on 4th and 5th Gen AMD EPYC CPUs, Cisco UCS X210c M8 based on Intel Xeon 6 CPUs, Cisco UCS X210c M7 based on 4th and 5th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, Cisco UCS X410c M7 compute nodes based on 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, and the Cisco UCS X210c M6 Compute Node based on 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors. Two resource nodes – the Cisco UCS X440p PCIe Node and the Cisco UCS X580p PCIe Node – can accommodate up to four GPUs and is always paired with a compute node.
The Cisco UCS X-Series Modular System was designed to be managed with Cisco Intersight™. Intersight is a cloud-operations, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that uses analytics to deliver proactive monitoring, automation, and optimization of workloads across hybrid-cloud environments. Cisco Intersight Managed Mode (IMM) delivers policy-based configurations and accelerates the deployment of both physical and virtual workloads.
