Description
The Cisco UCSX-9508 is a next-generation modular chassis designed for high-performance data center environments. Built to support the Cisco UCS X-Series architecture, this 7RU chassis accommodates up to eight single-wide compute nodes and integrates seamlessly with Cisco Intersight for cloud-based management. Its midplane-free design enhances airflow and simplifies future upgrades, while offering efficient power and cooling through rear-mounted fan modules and power supplies. The front-accessible I/O and compute modules make it easy to maintain and scale in demanding enterprise deployments.
This chassis supports a mix of compute and GPU nodes, making it ideal for virtualization, AI/ML workloads, and general-purpose enterprise applications. It includes eight power supply bays (supporting up to four PSUs in a redundant configuration), six fan modules, and two fabric modules for connectivity to Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects. The UCSX-9508 also features tool-less serviceability and a cable-free architecture that lowers the risk of downtime during maintenance. When purchasing used, buyers can benefit from a robust, scalable platform with proven reliability and compatibility across multiple generations of UCS components.
