QLogic Ethernet and 4 Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CFFh)
The QLogic Ethernet and 4 Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card, feature #8252, is a CFFh high
speed blade server expansion card with two 4 Gb Fibre Channel ports and two 1 Gb Ethernet
ports. It provides QLogic 2432M PCI-Express x4 ASIC for 4 Gb 2-port Fibre Channel and
Broadcom 5715S PCI-Express x4 ASIC for 1 Gb 2-port Ethernet. This card is used in
conjunction with the Multi-Switch Interconnect Module and is installed in the left position of
the MSIM and a Fibre Channel capable I/O module is installed in the right position of the
MSIM. Both switches do not need to be present at the same time because the Fibre Channel
and Ethernet networks are separate and distinct. It can be combined with a CFFv I/O card on
the same high-speed blade server.
The card has the following features:
Support for Fibre Channel protocol SCSI (FCP-SCSI) and Fibre Channel Internet protocol
(FCP-IP)
Support for point-to-point fabric connection (F-port fabric login). Support for remote startup
(boot) operations
Support for BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager

Technology, SG24-7523, available at the following Web page:

QLogic 2-port 10 Gb Converged Network Adapter (CFFh)
The QLogic 2-port 10 Gb Converged Network Adapter (CFFh) for IBM BladeCenter, feature
#8275, offers robust 8 Gb Fibre Channel storage connectivity and 10 Gb 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.
The card has the following features:
CFFh PCI Express 2.0 x8 adapter
Communication module: QLogic ISP8112
Support for up to two CEE HSSMs in a BladeCenter H or HT chassis
Support for 10 Gb Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE)
Support for Fibre Channel over Converged Enhanced Ethernet (FCoCEE)
Full hardware offload for FCoCEE protocol processing
Support for IPv4 and IPv6
Support for SAN boot over CEE, PXE boot, and iSCSI boot
Support for Wake on LAN
