Installing the Optional Host Cards
The XCubeFAS series comes with two on-board 10GbE iSCSI ports on each controller. If you
want to expand the number of host ports, purchase QSAN host cards (optional components)
will be the fastest and most cost-efficiency choice.
There are several types of host cards that are available for selection. You can configure a Fibre
Channel SAN by using QSAN 32/16Gb Fibre Channel host cards; you can choose an iSCSI SAN by
using 25/10GbE via SFP28/SFP+ or 10GBASE-T host cards. The table below shows the available
host card types, model names, and their descriptions.

You must remove the controller module from the system chassis before
starting the host card installing procedures.
Host card can NOT hot plug in the controller module. Hot plug in the host
card might cause system hang up. You should remove the controller
