PCIe2 4-port (10 Gb + 1 GbE) SR / Copper SFP +RJ45 adapter (FC EN0S, FC EN0T, FC EN0U, and FC
EN0V; CCIN 2CC3)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature code (FC) EN0S, FC
EN0T, FC EN0U, and FC EN0V adapters.
Overview
The PCIe2 4-port (10 Gb + 1 GbE) SR / Copper SFP +RJ45 adapter is a PCI Express (PCIe) generation 2
(Gen2) x8, short form-factor adapter.
• The FC EN0S and EN0U are short, full height adapters. FC EN0S is an SR adapter whereas FC EN0U is a
Copper SFP adapter.
• The FC EN0T and EN0V are short, low-profile adapters. FC EN0T is an SR adapter whereas FC EN0V is a
Copper SFP adapter.
The adapter provides two 10 Gb SR optical ports and two 1 Gb RJ45 ports. This adapter provides a PCIe
2.0 host bus interface. The adapter supports the Ethernet network interface controller (NIC) function. The
adapter is a high-performance adapter that consolidates traffic for networking. 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 small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) optical SR transceiver ports
and two 1 Gb RJ45 Ethernet ports. The two 10 Gb SR ports have little connector (LC) duplex-type
connectors. The optical transceiver uses shortwave laser optics and is attached with MMF-850nm fiber
cabling with LC connectors. See “Cables” on page 74 for more information about the optical cables.
Each 10 Gb port provides Ethernet connectivity with a nominal data rate of 10 Gbps (gigabits per second).
Figure 49 on page 72 shows the FC EN0S and FC EN0U adapter. Figure 50 on page 73 shows the FC
EN0T and FC EN0V adapter.
Each of the 1 Gb RJ45 port provides Ethernet connectivity at a data rate of 1 Gbps. Each of the 1 Gb ports
is connected with a 4-pair, CAT-5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable or with a cable of higher
specification, and is supported for distances of up to 100 meters. In addition to 1 Gb (1000 Mb) networks,
100 Mb networks are also supported.
The adapter provides the following features:
• The adapter is a PCIe2 NIC network convergence adapter.
• The 10 Gb SR ports can function in the NIC mode.
• The adapter can be used as the host local area network (LAN) adapter.
• The adapter supports interrupt moderation to deliver increased performance while significantly
reducing processor utilization
• The adapter supports dual port operation in any PCIe4 or PCIe3 slot
• The adapter supports auto-negotiation, full-duplex only.
• The adapter supports multiple media-access control (MAC) per interface.
• The adapter supports integrated media-access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY).
• The adapter supports the following standards for the different ports and functions:
– IEEE 802.3ae in the 10 GbE ports
– 802.3ab in the 1 GbE ports
– Ether II and IEEE 802.3 for encapsulated frames
– 802.1p for setting up priority levels in tagged VLAN frames
– 802.1Q for VLAN tagging
– 802.3x for flow control
– 802.3ad for load-balancing and failover
– IEEE 802.3ad and 802.3 for link aggregation
• The adapter provides message signal interrupts (MSI), MSI-X, and support of legacy pin interrupts.
