N20-AC0002 is the Cisco UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Card, a 2-port 10Gb FCoE mezzanine network adapter for UCS B-Series blades. The card presents up to 128 PCIe virtual interfaces, and about 8 interfaces are reserved for internal use. The Cisco UCS B200 M2 network adapter choice fits the PCIe mezzanine position in UCS B200 M1/M2, UCS B230 M1, UCS B250 M1/M2, and UCS B440 M1 blades. The internal ports connect through the UCS midplane to the fabric interconnect path for Ethernet and FCoE storage traffic. UCS-VIC-M82-8P is the 40 Gb capable VIC 1280 option for buyers changing the B200 M2 card class. Before the PO, confirm generation on the chassis label or running inventory.
N20-AC0002 price for new stock is $124.03, a 14.6% saving from the Cisco list price of $145.29. N20-AC0002 refurb price is $47.25. N20-AC0002 is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

Up to 128 virtual interfaces give the operating system PCIe NIC or HBA devices, and approximately 8 are reserved for internal use. A PCIe x16 host interface and Cisco Unified Computing System custom ASIC handle the mezzanine connection. N20-AC0002 uses Priority Flow Control, 9 KB jumbo frames, IEEE VLAN tagging, and VN-Link policy functions. Cisco UCS Manager Version 1.1(1x) manages the card in a dedicated B-Series domain. Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and VMware vSphere are the named operating system families. More than 600,000 IOPS is the card performance figure for I/O sizing. 18 W typical power and 10°C to 35°C inlet operating temperature set the blade planning limits. 184 mm depth and 93 mm width match the mezzanine bay.
Order N20-AC0002 as new sealed or certified refurbished for a like-for-like Cisco UCS M81KR replacement. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested in a compatible host; board, connector and housing are inspected, recognized by a compatible host, and every port links at rated speed. Cisco service ended on 31 August 2018, so ORM's warranty is the cover that applies. New carries up to 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished carries up to 1 year, and returns run 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Regional stock/RMA covers UK · EU · US · MEA, with PO accepted · Net-30 for government · RMA with advance replacement.

A spares pool for B200 M1/M2, B230 M1, B250 M1/M2, or B440 M1 blades needs the same Cisco UCS M81KR card after Cisco service ended on 31 August 2018. Specify N20-AC0002, the mezzanine position, and the target blade generation before the PO.
A UCS B200 M2 blade with a failed M81KR card needs one PCIe mezzanine replacement, not a rack PCIe adapter. Specify N20-AC0002 when the inventory reports Cisco UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Card and the service profile expects 10 Gbps FCoE through the midplane.
A UCS B250 M2 or UCS B440 M1 build can use two mezzanine adapters when the chassis design needs separate card instances. Specify the second N20-AC0002 only for those blade generations; B200 M1/M2 and B230 M1 take one mezzanine adapter.
External SFP+ uplink ports
N20-AC0002 connects through the UCS midplane and has no pluggable cage. The blade fabric path provides the 10 Gbps links.
Two adapters in B200 blades
UCS B200 M1, UCS B200 M2, and UCS B230 M1 support one mezzanine adapter. UCS B250 M1/M2 and UCS B440 M1 provide the two-adapter fit.
Two M81KR cards in B250 M1
UCS Manager 1.1(1x) supports one Cisco UCS M81KR on UCS B250 M1. Use a B250 M2 or B440 M1 blade for two positions.

N20-AC0002 is the UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Card/PCIe/2-port 10Gb for Cisco UCS B-Series blade servers. The model name is Cisco UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Card. N20-AC0002= is the spare order form for the same card. The card carries Ethernet and FCoE over the blade midplane.
N20-AC0002 fits Cisco UCS B200 M1, UCS B200 M2, UCS B230 M1, UCS B250 M1, UCS B250 M2, and UCS B440 M1 blade servers. Each host uses the PCIe mezzanine card position, and the adapter is not intended for other purposes. Before the PO, confirm generation on the chassis label.
A UCS B200 M2 uses N20-AC0002 as one Cisco UCS M81KR 10Gb virtual interface card option. The same PCIe mezzanine card choices are UCS-VIC-M82-8P, N20-AQ0102, N20-AE0102, N20-AI0102, and N20-AB0002. Before the PO, match the selected PID to the blade inventory.
N20-AC0002 specifications are 2 x 10 Gbps FCoE internal ports, UCS midplane connectivity, PCIe x16 host interface, 18 W typical power, 184 mm depth, and 93 mm width. The card presents 128 virtual interfaces, with approximately 8 reserved for internal use.
N20-AC0002 has two 10 Gbps FCoE ports over the Cisco UCS midplane, not external SFP+ or RJ-45 connectors. The fabric path must match 10 Gbps per port. The blade chassis path carries Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic through the same mezzanine card.
N20-AC0002 fits one mezzanine adapter position in UCS B200 M1, UCS B200 M2, and UCS B230 M1 blades. UCS B250 M1, UCS B250 M2, and UCS B440 M1 blades support two mezzanine adapters. UCS Manager 1.1(1x) supports one M81KR on UCS B250 M1.
N20-AC0002 uses Cisco UCS Manager Version 1.1(1x) management in a dedicated UCS B-Series environment. The card release covers Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and VMware vSphere families. Before the PO, match the blade firmware and operating system image to the running inventory.
N20-AC0002 carries Ethernet and FCoE over the same UCS midplane connection and presents up to 128 PCIe virtual interfaces. About 8 interfaces are reserved for internal use. UCS Manager can set each virtual interface as a NIC or HBA with MAC and WWN identity.
N20-AC0002 is the base card order code, and N20-AC0002= is the spare form for the same Cisco UCS M81KR card. Cisco-remanufactured -RF ordering is separate from certified refurbished condition. Certified refurbished means inspected and bench-tested in a compatible host.
N20-AC0002 replaces N20-AI0102 for the affected Cisco UCS Server accessory migration path. N20-AI0102 is the Cisco UCS CNA M61KR-I Intel Converged Network Adapter. Select N20-AC0002 when the blade inventory calls for the UCS M81KR virtual interface card, not the Intel CNA.
UCS-VIC-M82-8P is the Cisco UCS VIC 1280 dual 40 Gb capable virtual interface card option for UCS B200 M2, while N20-AC0002 is the UCS M81KR 2-port 10Gb card. Choose N20-AC0002 for like-for-like M81KR replacement; choose UCS-VIC-M82-8P when the blade configuration calls for VIC 1280.
N20-AB0002 is the Cisco UCS M51KR-B Broadcom 57711 Adapter, while N20-AC0002 is the Cisco UCS M81KR virtual interface card with FCoE and 128 virtual interfaces. N20-AB0002 suits a Broadcom NIC slot requirement; N20-AC0002 suits a UCS M81KR identity and service profile match.
Cisco stopped selling N20-AC0002 on 6 August 2013. Cisco service ended on 31 August 2018. Cisco stopped selling the N20-AC0002= spare on 6 August 2014, and Cisco service for that spare ended on 31 August 2019. The B200 M2 host service ended on 31 March 2018.
N20-AC0002 is offered by ORM as new sealed or certified refurbished. Cisco service ended on 31 August 2018, so ORM's warranty is the cover that applies. New carries up to 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished carries up to 1 year, and returns run 30 days on every condition; terms apply. PO accepted and RMA with advance replacement apply.
