Obtaining Hardware
Each Cisco UCS X580p PCIe Node interoperates with other required hardware to provide GPU processing offload and acceleration for the Cisco UCS X-Series M8 compute node that is paired with it.
The following table shows the required hardware to support a fully functioning PCIe node. Use the following table when you want to order spares or additional PCIe nodes to scale out your Cisco UCS X-Fabric deployment.
