   A technician is preparing to install a new server in a UCS 5108 chassis. The server will be used for a virtualized workload that requires a balance of CPU density and memory capacity. The technician has a choice between a UCS B200 M5 half-width blade and a UCS B480 M5 full-width blade. Which factor most directly influences the choice of blade form factor?

   • AThe type of fabric interconnect model used in the UCS domain.
   • BThe number of power supplies installed in the chassis.
   • CThe number of chassis slots available and the required number of CPUs and DIMM slots.
   • DThe operating system license type required for the virtualized workload.

   A field technician is racking a new Cisco UCS 5108 chassis in a data center. The chassis will hold eight half-width blades and connect to two fabric interconnects for redundancy. During installation, the technician notices that the chassis has two fabric extenders (IOMs) installed. What is the primary function of these fabric extenders in this configuration?

   • AThey aggregate the blade server traffic and forward it to the fabric interconnects, reducing the number of cables needed.
   • BThey provide power distribution and cooling to the blade servers installed in the chassis.
   • CThey act as standalone Ethernet switches that can be managed independently of the fabric interconnects.
   • DThey provide the management interface for the chassis and host the UCS Manager software.

   A field technician is identifying a Cisco UCS server that is a half-width blade designed to fit into a UCS chassis. Which physical characteristic is most typical of this server?

   • AIt is a half-width blade that installs horizontally in a UCS chassis and shares power and cooling.
   • BIt is a standalone tower server with internal drives and expansion slots.
   • CIt is a full-width blade that includes its own dedicated power supplies and fans.
   • DIt has a 2U rack-mount form factor with its own power supplies.
