UCSB-VIC-M83-8P is a Cisco UCS VIC 1380 Virtual Interface Card with 2 x 40 Gbps unified I/O or 2 sets of 4 x 10 Gbps unified I/O in a rear mezzanine card for UCS B200 M5 and UCS B480 M5 blade servers. Every Cisco UCS B200 M5 network adapter build needs the mLOM match before this mezzanine card is ordered. The card also fits UCS B200 M4 mezzanine and UCS B420 M4 Adapter 3 positions when the chassis meets the CPU rule. Ethernet and FCoE traffic run over the internal blade fabric to Fabric Extenders and Fabric Interconnects, so no transceiver is ordered for the card. UCSB-VIC-M84-4P is the M5 rear mezzanine sibling for VIC 1440 mLOM builds; the VIC 1380 pairs with VIC 1340 mLOM in those M5 builds.
UCSB-VIC-M83-8P price for new stock is $40.04, a 14.6% saving from the Cisco list price of $46.90. UCSB-VIC-M83-8P refurb price is $26.24. UCSB-VIC-M83-8P is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

40-Gbps line rate per port sets the upstream match for each unified I/O port, and 4 x 10 Gbps mode maps the same hardware into port-channeled groups. PCIe 3.0 x16 host interface bandwidth feeds more than 256 virtual interfaces, with about 8 interfaces reserved inside the adapter. 12W typical power and 10°C to 35°C inlet temperature set the blade power and airflow checks. 184 mm depth and 93 mm width define the mezzanine footprint. UCSB-VIC-M83-8P carries VXLAN and NVGRE offloads for VMware, SR-IOV, usNIC, DPDK, VM-FEX, NetFlow, VMQ, iSCSI Boot and FCoE. UCS Manager Release 2.2(3) is the adapter management floor; UCS B200 M5 uses UCSM 3.2(2) recommended, and UCS 6536 Fabric Interconnect with VIC 1300 starts at UCS 4.2(3). Microsoft Windows, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Ubuntu, VMware vSphere and Citrix XenServer are operating-system targets.
New sealed and certified refurbished conditions are offered for UCSB-VIC-M83-8P, with 30 days on every condition; terms apply. New sealed carries up to 3-year extended warranty, and certified refurbished carries up to 1 year. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested in a compatible host, with firmware version verified and every internal port linked at rated speed. Order the rear mezzanine card with the host mLOM, then confirm two CPUs and the connector on the chassis label or running inventory. UK, EU, US and MEA stock/RMA paths carry RMA with advance replacement, PO accepted and Net-30 for government.

A buyer replacing a failed rear mezzanine card in a UCS B200 M5 needs the VIC 1380 form in the one rear mezzanine connector. The chassis also needs two CPUs and an mLOM. Before the PO, confirm the mLOM generation on the chassis label or the running inventory.
A buyer adding rear mezzanine I/O to a UCS B480 M5 can place VIC 1380 in rear mezzanine connector 1 or 2 when the CPU population matches the slot control. A 4-CPU B480 M5 can use 1380 plus 1380. Before the PO, confirm slot 2 and slot 3 occupancy.
A buyer moving a B200 M5 blade fabric to UCS 6536 Fabric Interconnects needs the release path to match VIC 1300 support. UCS 4.2(3) adds VIC 1300 support with UCS 6536. Before the PO, confirm the UCS release and the Fabric Extender model.
VIC 1440 M5 build
UCS B200 M5 and UCS B480 M5 do not mix VIC 1440 with UCSB-VIC-M83-8P; the rear mezzanine alternative for a VIC 1440 mLOM build is UCSB-VIC-M84-4P.
Single-CPU B200 M4
UCS B200 M4 needs 2 CPUs for a mezzanine connector card; a 1-CPU B200 M4 keeps network I/O on UCSB-MLOM-40G-03.
6100 Series Fabric Interconnects
UCS B200 M4 with VIC 1340 or VIC 1380 uses 6200 and 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects, not 6100 Series Fabric Interconnects.

UCSB-VIC-M83-8P is the Cisco UCS VIC 1380 mezzanine adapter for blade servers. The code is the B-Series blade-server PID for the VIC 1380 Virtual Interface Card. UCSB-VIC-M83-8P= is the Cisco spare form for the same adapter.
UCSB-VIC-M83-8P fits UCS B200 M5 and UCS B480 M5 rear mezzanine positions, UCS B200 M4 mezzanine positions and UCS B420 M4 Adapter 3. UCS B200 M5 needs 2 CPUs and either VIC 1340 or VIC 1440 mLOM, with the VIC 1440 mix restriction.
A UCS B200 M5 uses UCSB-VIC-M83-8P as the Cisco UCS VIC 1380 rear mezzanine adapter. The same B200 M5 adapter set has UCSB-MLOM-40G-04, UCSB-MLOM-40G-03, UCSB-VIC-M84-4P and UCSB-MLOM-PT-01. The rear mezzanine connector accepts one card.
UCSB-VIC-M83-8P has 2 x 40 Gbps unified I/O ports or 2 sets of 4 x 10 Gbps unified I/O ports, PCIe 3.0 x16 host interface, 12W typical power, 184 mm depth and 93 mm width. The form factor is a blade mezzanine card.
UCSB-VIC-M83-8P runs 40-Gbps line rate per unified I/O port or 4 x 10 Gbps mode per port group. The upstream blade fabric must match 40 Gbps or 10 Gbps operation through the Fabric Extender and Fabric Interconnect path.
UCSB-VIC-M83-8P does not use orderable transceivers or external network cables on the adapter. The card is chassis-connected through the blade mezzanine interface. Network reach depends on the UCS 5108 chassis I/O modules, Fabric Extenders and Fabric Interconnects already in the blade domain.
UCSB-VIC-M83-8P fits one rear mezzanine connector in UCS B200 M5. UCS B480 M5 has rear mezzanine connector 1 and rear mezzanine connector 2, with CPU 3 controlling slot 2 and CPU 4 controlling slot 3. A 4-CPU B480 M5 can use 1380 plus 1380.
UCSB-VIC-M83-8P has UCS Manager Release 2.2(3) as the adapter management floor. UCS B200 M5 uses UCSM 3.2(2) recommended. UCS 6536 Fabric Interconnect with VIC 1300 series starts at UCS 4.2(3). Management paths are UCS Manager and Intersight.
Yes, UCSB-VIC-M83-8P handles FCoE on the unified fabric and carries RDMA features. The same adapter also carries VXLAN and NVGRE offloads for VMware, SR-IOV, usNIC, DPDK, VM-FEX, NetFlow, VMQ, Cisco Adapter FEX and iSCSI Boot.
UCSB-VIC-M83-8P is the base blade mezzanine adapter PID, and UCSB-VIC-M83-8P= is the Cisco spare form. Cisco-remanufactured codes are separate from ORM certified refurbished condition. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested outside Cisco Refresh ordering.
UCSB-VIC-M84-4P is the M5 rear mezzanine adapter for VIC 1440 mLOM builds, while UCSB-VIC-M83-8P is the VIC 1380 rear mezzanine adapter for the VIC 1340 pairing. UCS B200 M5 and UCS B480 M5 do not mix VIC 1440 with VIC 1380.
UCSB-MLOM-40G-03 is the VIC 1340 mLOM card, and UCSB-VIC-M83-8P is the VIC 1380 rear mezzanine card. A B200 M5 build with UCSB-VIC-M83-8P needs an mLOM already selected. The mLOM is the baseline adapter; the rear mezzanine adds the extra VIC 1380 path.
Cisco stopped selling UCSB-VIC-M83-8P on 30 October 2023. Cisco has not announced a last date of support for UCSB-VIC-M83-8P. The adapter serves UCS B-Series blade servers on this page, with M5 rear mezzanine and M4 mezzanine placements.
ORM offers UCSB-VIC-M83-8P as new sealed with up to 3-year extended warranty and certified refurbished with up to 1 year warranty. 30 days returns apply on every condition; terms apply. PO accepted, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement are available.
