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.

Cisco UCS X580p PCIe Node Firmware, Release 6.0

The Cisco UCS X580p PCIe Node is the latest PCIe resource node for the UCS X-Series Modular System. It delivers high-performance GPU support for workloads such as generative and agentic AI fine-tuning, inference, and other applications that require GPU acceleration.

The Cisco UCS X580p PCIe Node supports up to four PCIe GPUs. It can be paired with the Cisco UCS X210c M8 server (with Intel® Xeon® processors) or the UCS X215c M8 server (with EPYC processors). The X580p uses Cisco UCS X-Fabric technology for GPU connectivity.

Note: The Cisco UCS X580p PCIe Node is compatible only with the Cisco UCS X9516 X-Fabric Module.

The Cisco UCS X580p occupies 2 node slots in the X9508 chassis, and each 7RU Cisco UCS X9508 chassis supports up to 2 PCIe nodes. Each X580p node supports a maximum of 4 GPUs and allows assignment of 1, 2, or 4 GPUs to a single server. Alternatively, you can assign 1 or 2 GPUs each to 2 separate servers, provided that all GPUs assigned to a single server are of the same type.

Note: Assigning 3 GPUs to a single server is not supported.

For more information, see Cisco UCS X580p PCIe Node Installation and Service Guide and Cisco UCS X580p PCIe Node Spec Sheet.
