Group Level Power cap• Set a single cap for multiple chassis that share a power
feed• Automatic static distribution of power to chassis in
group
Dynamic Intra-chassis power redistribution• Blade power allocation based on priority and blade
configuration• High power blades can borrow power from low power
blades• No performance impact under normal operation
Service Profile Priorities• Customer control of application performance• Ensures high priority workloads get more power when
group/chassis cap is reached
UCS Chassis and Multi-Chassis Power Cap
Eliminate power capacity wastage in Data Center
Cap multiple chassis from a single interface

Unbundling of UCS software bundles
Server and adapter packs aimed at new server and adapter hardware
Off-cycle introduction of server and adapter packs in-sync with hardware releases
Next major software releases will incorporate previous modular server and adapter packs
Enables faster introduction of new server and adapters without waiting for next major SW release

UCS 6100 Switching Modes
The external LAN sees the UCS 6100
as an end‐host with multiple adapters. No
Spanning Tree protocol on uplink ports.
Active/Active use of uplinks by
pinning
All uplink ports should be connected
to the same Layer 2 network
More scalable than switch mode
since the control plane is not stressed as
an Layer 2 switch.
The UCS 6100 acts like a traditional
Ethernet switch with support for
Spanning Tree protocol on the uplink
ports
Some uplinks connected to the
external switches may be blocked by
STP.
Only PVST+ is supported
Mac‐add learning is enabled on
uplink/server interfaces
