The QLogic 10Gb CNA is a PCI Express 2.0 x4 10Gb Converged Network Adapter and is available for 

both IBM System x and IBM Power Systems servers. For IBM Power Systems, the adapter is known as 
the 10 Gb FCoE PCIe Dual Port Adapter (Feature 5708). The adapter connects to SFP+ Multimode Fiber 
SR optical modules. The System x version also supports SFP+ Active Copper cables, depending on the 
Ethernet switch used. 

This adapter supports 10 Gbps per port maximum bidirectional throughput for high-bandwidth storage 

(SAN) and networking (LAN) traffic, with full hardware offload for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) 
protocol processing. The QLogic 10Gb CNA is shown in Figure 1.

Convergence of SAN and LAN traffic on a single adapter and wire helps lower the total cost of ownership 

by reducing the reduced hardware, power, cooling, management, and maintenance costs. It offers 
investment protection by providing seamless compatibility with existing Fibre Channel (FC) Storage, 
ethernet networks, driver software, and management applications.
