QLogic 2-port 10Gb CNA (CFFh) for IBM BladeCenter
IBM Redbooks Product Guide
The QLogic 2-port 10Gb Converged Network Adapter (CFFh) for IBM BladeCenter offers robust 8Gb
Fibre Channel storage connectivity and 10Gb networking over a single Converged Enhanced Ethernet
(CEE) link. Because this adapter combines the functions of a Network Interface Card and a Host Bus
Adapter on a single converged adapter, clients can realize potential benefits in cost, power and cooling,
and data center footprint by deploying less hardware.

These Converged Network Adapters are backward compatible with many 4Gb storage targets and work
with most existing LAN and SAN infrastructures, providing an investment protection when consolidating
data centers. You can use this adapter with the 10Gb Pass-Thru Module and connect to a converged
top-of-rack switch such as the Brocade 8000 or Nexus 5000. With this setup, you can reduce hardware,
as well as power and cooling costs, while boosting performance by operating at 10Gb bandwidth.

The adapter connects to the midplane directly, without having to use cables or SFP modules. By
eliminating these components for up to 14 servers, the resulting savings alone cover the BladeCenter
chassis investment.
