The FlashSystem 710 and FlashSystem 810 storage systems require interface and flash modules to be
ordered with the base model. See "Interface modules" and "Flash modules" sections for details.
Interface modules
FlashSystem 710 and FlashSystem 810 support either 8 Gb Fibre Channel (FC) or 40 Gbps InfiniBand
connectivity with the interface modules shown in Table 3 (only one feature can be selected).

Each interface module feature code contains two dual-port cards (either 8 Gb Fibre Channel or QDR
InfiniBand) for a total of four ports in the system. FC interface modules come standard with four (one per
each port) 8 Gb FC shortwave SFP+ transceivers with LC duplex connector. InfiniBand interface modules
have QSFP receptacles.
FC interfaces support Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) only, with point-to-point (FC-P2P), arbitrated loop
(FC-AL), and switched fabric (FC-SW) topologies. FC interfaces can be configured as N_port or NL_port
types. InfiniBand interfaces support SCSI RDMA Protocol (SRP) only. Dual-port interface modules
support full active-active load balancing and failover multi-pathing, though host software support for this
function can vary.
