PCIe3 LP 4-port (10Gb FCoE and 1GbE) LR and RJ45 Adapter (FC EN0N; CCIN 2CC0)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EN0N adapter.
Overview
The PCIe3 LP 4-port (10Gb FCoE and 1GbE) LR and RJ45 Adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 3, x8, low-profile adapter. The adapter has four-ports and is a Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) converged network adapter (CNA). This adapter provides a PCIe 3.0 host bus interface. The adapter is a high-performance adapter that consolidates traffic for networking and Fibre Channel storage. The adapter is optimized for cloud computing, virtualization, storage, and other data center applications. Both the FCoE and network interface controller (NIC) functions are available for all the four ports. Use of the FCoE requires that you use convergence enhanced Ethernet (CEE) switches. The link aggregation and failover features of the adapter make it suitable for critical network applications that require redundancy and high availability.
The four-port adapter provides two 10 Gb FCoE Long Range (LR) optical ports and two 1 Gb RJ45 Ethernet ports. The two 10 Gb FCoE ports provide an SFP+ optical transceiver and have duplex little connector-type (LC) connectors. Each FCoE port provides Ethernet connectivity with a nominal data rate of 10 Gbps (gigabits per second). The optical transceiver uses shortwave laser optics and is attached with MMF-850nm fiber cabling with LC connectors. An FCoE switch is required to be attached for any FCoE traffic on this adapter.
- The adapter supports both the dedicated mode and SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) mode to function as a NIC.
- The adapter can function as a boot adapter.
- The adapter supports all Fibre Channel and Ethernet topologies.
- The adapter provides end-to-end data path parity and cyclic redundancy check
