Dual Port Fabric Connectivity For Rack Servers

UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 is the Cisco UCS VIC 1495 dual-port 40/100G QSFP28 PCIe Virtual Interface Card for UCS C125 M5, UCS C220 M5/M6 and other UCS C-Series and S-Series M5 servers. The card presents Ethernet or FCoE interfaces and uses the UCS VIC 1400 feature set. It fits C125 M5, C220 M5/M6, C225 M6, C240 M5/M6, C240 SD M5, C245 M6, C480 M5, C480 ML M5, C4200 and S3260 M5. As a Cisco UCS S3260 M5 network adapter, one PCIe adapter is selected per SIOC. The ports connect to fabric interconnects or Nexus switches with Cisco QSFP optics or QSFP cables. UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 is the quad-port 10/25G SFP28 sibling for lower-speed SFP28 links.

Technical Details

2 x 40/100G QSFP28 ports carry Ethernet or FCoE, and each far end must match the selected 40G or 100G Cisco optic or QSFP cable. PCIe 3.0 x16 host connectivity gives the card its server interface, and the HHHL form fits the PCIe option-card slot in the C125 M5. 256 virtual interfaces present as NICs or HBAs, with about eight reserved internally before operating-system or hypervisor limits. UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 draws 28W maximum and measures 167.6 mm deep, 63.5 mm wide and 13.5 mm high. RoCEv2, SR-IOV, usNIC, VM-FEX, DPDK, NetFlow, GENEVE, VXLAN and NVGRE features stay tied to the UCS VIC 1400 release level. Reverse breakout to 4x10G or 4x25G is not available on this 40/100G VIC family.

Ordering

UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 is offered new sealed and certified refurbished. Certified refurbished adapters are inspected and bench-tested in a compatible host; every port links at rated speed, and the board, connector and bracket are inspected. Order the matching Cisco QSFP optic or QSFP cable for each port and match 40G or 100G at the far end. New sealed carries up to 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished carries up to 1 year, and returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. UK, EU, US and MEA stock and RMA cover advance replacement, PO accepted and Net-30 for government.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

SIOC slot count

Each S3260 SIOC takes one PCIe adapter. A single-node S3260 configuration accepts two SIOCs with Cisco IMC 3.0(3) and UCSM 3.1(3) or later.

Direct connection mode

UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 uses Direct Connection for UCS Manager integration. SingleWire and Dual-Wire entries are No, so FEX-sideband designs need UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04.

QSFP link matching

40G or 100G links need Cisco QSFP optics or QSFP cables. Third-party transceivers and cables do not bring up links to a fabric interconnect or Nexus switch.

Ordering forms

UCSC-PCIE-C100-04= is the spare form. UCSC-PCIEC10004-RF is Cisco-remanufactured and separate from certified refurbished, which follows inspected and bench-tested condition processing.

Best For

Failed Card Replacement

A C125 M5 or C240 M5/M6 service event with a failed 40/100G PCIe VIC needs the same QSFP28 card to keep cabling and service profiles aligned. Specify UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 and verify the slot is PCIe, not mLOM, before the PO.

Server Expansion

An S3260 M5 expansion that adds SIOC connectivity uses one PCIe adapter per SIOC. A single-node chassis uses two SIOCs when Cisco IMC is 3.0(3) and UCSM is 3.1(3) or later. Specify the SIOC count and software level before the PO.

Fabric Attach

A rack-server UCS Manager design using VIC 1495 connects directly to the fabric interconnect. SingleWire and Dual-Wire modes are not available for this model. Specify Direct Connection, the fabric interconnect model and the 40G or 100G QSFP cable or optic before the PO.

Not Suitable If

M5 rack mLOM bay

UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 is a PCIe card. C220 M5, C240 M5 and C240 SD M5 mLOM bays take UCSC-MLOM-C100-04 for the same 40/100G QSFP28 role.

M6 rack mLOM bay

C220 M6, C240 M6, C225 M6 and C245 M6 mLOM bays take UCSC-M-V100-04. Use UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 only for the PCIe card position.

4x10G or 4x25G breakout

The 40/100G ports have no reverse-breakout mode to 4x10G or 4x25G. Use UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 when the server needs four 10/25G SFP28 ports.

SingleWire or dual-wire management

Rack-server integration marks the VIC 1495 for direct connection only. Use UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 when the design needs SingleWire or Dual-Wire management with the VIC.

Questions & Answers

What is UCSC-PCIE-C100-04?

UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 is the Cisco UCS VIC 1495 Dual Port 100G QSFP28 CNA PCIe. UCSC marks the UCS C-Series orderable family, PCIE marks a PCIe card, C100 marks the 100G class, and -04 marks the VIC 1400 generation. UCSC-PCIE-C100-04= is the spare form; UCSC-PCIEC10004-RF is Cisco-remanufactured.

What servers fit UCSC-PCIE-C100-04?

UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 fits UCS C125 M5, C220 M5/M6, C225 M6, C240 M5/M6, C240 SD M5, C245 M6, C480 M5, C480 ML M5, C4200 and S3260 M5. It is a PCIe card, so C220 and C240 mLOM bays take mLOM VIC PIDs instead.

What network adapter does a UCS S3260 M5 use?

A UCS S3260 M5 uses UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 as the Cisco UCS VIC 1495 dual-port 100G QSFP28 CNA PCIe SIOC adapter. The same SIOC Ethernet and FC adapter group also carries UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04, UCSC-PCIE-IRJ45, N2XX-AIPCI01, UCSC-P-M5D100GF, UCSC-PCIE-ID40GF, UCSC-PCIE-QD40GF, UCSC-PCIE-ID25GF, UCSC-PCIE-ID10GC, UCSC-PCIE-IQ10GF and UCSC-PCIE-QD16GF.

What are the UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 specifications?

UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 has 2 x 40/100G QSFP28 ports, a PCIe 3.0 x16 host interface, 28W maximum draw, and 167.6 mm depth by 63.5 mm width by 13.5 mm height. The Cisco UCS VIC 1495 presents 256 virtual interfaces before host OS limits apply.

What ports and speed does UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 have?

UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 uses two QSFP28 cages rated for 40 Gbps or 100 Gbps Ethernet and FCoE. The far end must match the selected 40G or 100G Cisco optic or QSFP cable. QSFP-40/100-SRBD runs at 100G only with this adapter.

Which transceivers and cables work with UCSC-PCIE-C100-04?

UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 uses Cisco 100G optics QSFP-100G-SR4-S, QSFP-40/100-SRBD, QSFP-100G-LR4-S, QSFP-100G-DR-S and QSFP-100G-FR-S. It also uses 100G cables QSFP-100G-CU1M, QSFP-100G-CU2M, QSFP-100G-CU3M, QSFP-100G-CU5M and QSFP-100G-AOC1M. Third-party optics or cables do not bring up the link.

How many UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 adapters fit in a UCS S3260 M5?

UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 installs as one PCIe adapter per SIOC in UCS S3260 M5. A single-node S3260 can use two SIOCs with Cisco IMC 3.0(3) and UCSM 3.1(3) or later. C125 M5 uses the HHHL PCIe option-card form.

What software does UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 need?

UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 needs minimum UCSM 4.0(2c) with VIC firmware 5.0(2b), or standalone 4.0(2) with VIC firmware 5.0(2b). Recommended releases are UCSM 4.0(4e) with firmware 5.0(3d), or standalone 4.0(4h) with firmware 5.0.3(d). UCS Manager, Cisco IMC and Intersight manage the adapter.

Does UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 work with SingleConnect or dual-wire management?

No, UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 uses Direct Connection for C-Series integration with UCS Manager. SingleWire Connection is No and Dual-Wire Connection is No for the Cisco UCS VIC 1495. Designs needing those management modes should use a VIC with those Yes entries, such as UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04.

What offloads does UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 provide?

UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 provides SR-IOV, usNIC, iSCSI boot, VM-FEX, DPDK, NetFlow, Receive Side Scaling, GENEVE, VXLAN, NVGRE, RoCEv2 and NVMeoF with RoCEv2. The card also presents Ethernet NIC and Fibre Channel NIC functions through the VIC 1400 virtual interface model.

What ordering variants exist for UCSC-PCIE-C100-04?

UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 is the base orderable card. UCSC-PCIE-C100-04= is the spare form. UCSC-PCIEC10004-RF is Cisco-remanufactured, and that is not the same condition as certified refurbished. Certified refurbished condition means inspected and bench-tested in a compatible host with every port linked at rated speed.

What is the replacement for UCSC-PCIE-C100-04?

The migration PID named for UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 is UCS-NVB960M2VM6=, but that PID is a 960GB 2.5-inch U.3 NVMe drive, not a network adapter. For a VIC replacement, match the target host generation, slot type and required 40/100G QSFP28 ports before ordering.

What is the difference between UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 and UCSC-MLOM-C100-04?

UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 is the PCIe VIC 1495 for C125 M5, C220 M5/M6, C225 M6, C240 M5/M6, C240 SD M5, C245 M6, C480 M5, C480 ML M5, C4200 and S3260 M5. UCSC-MLOM-C100-04 is the mLOM VIC 1497 for C220 M5, C240 M5 and C240 SD M5.

What is the difference between UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 and UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04?

UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 is the VIC 1495 with two 40/100G QSFP28 ports. UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 is the VIC 1455 with four 10/25G SFP28 ports on the same rack and storage host set. Choose the 100G card for QSFP28 uplinks and the 25G card for SFP28 links.

Is UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 end-of-sale?

Cisco stopped selling UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 on 15 July 2026, and the last ship date was 15 October 2026. Cisco has not announced a last date of support for UCSC-PCIE-C100-04. The adapter serves UCS C-Series M5/M6 rack servers and S3260 M5 storage servers.
