Ships with empty SFP+ cages (optics and cables are not included)
The QLogic® 8400 Series Converged Network Adapters support
simultaneous LAN (TCP/IP) and SAN (Fibre Channel over Ethernet
[FCoE] and iSCSI) traffic at 10Gbps Ethernet (GbE) line rate
speeds. The 8400 Series Adapter provides extremely low host CPU
usage by enabling full hardware offloads.
PCI Express Gen3 x8
Delivers full line-rate 10GbE performance across both ports
Industry-leading storage (FCoE and iSCSI) transactional performance
Enables provisioning of 10GbE ports for greater deployment
flexibility through switch-independent NIC partitioning (NPAR)
Boosts host CPU efficiency with hardware offloads for NVGRE and
VXLAN tunnels
Improves reliability and interoperability—leverages QLogic’s
market-proven Ethernet architecture and software
Network boot support:
iSCSI remote boot
FCoE boot from SAN
Pre-execution environment (PXE) 2.0
PCI-SIG® single root input/output virtualization (SR-IOV)
Data center bridging (DCB)
Low-profile PCIe form factor
