Dual Port 10GbE Converged Adapter

The HPE StoreFabric CN1100R is a dual port converged network adapter that delivers 10GbE connectivity for Ethernet, iSCSI and Fibre Channel traffic. It uses SFP+ optical interfaces and a PCI Express x8 host interface to consolidate multiple network types onto a single card. This new adapter supports FCoE and CEE standards to simplify datacenter cabling and reduce power and cooling demands.

For FCoE consolidation in HPE racks

It suits administrators deploying converged Ethernet and Fibre Channel over 10GbE in HPE ProLiant servers with Top of Rack or End of Row switches. It is not suited for deployments that require copper 10GbE media or for servers that cannot accept a PCI Express x8 expansion card.

SFP+ optical media and PCI Express x8 slot

The adapter requires SFP+ optical transceivers for network connections and an available PCI Express x8 slot on the motherboard. Verify that your server chassis and switch infrastructure support optical 10GbE before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What does the PCI Express x8 interface cap throughput at for this CN1100R adapter?

The PCI Express x8 host interface supports the dual 10GbE ports at full line rate without bottlenecking the SFP+ links.

What physical slot and bracket does the QW990A need to fit in a server?

It requires a full-height PCI Express x8 or wider slot and ships with a standard bracket for HPE ProLiant chassis.

How is the CN1100R installed, and which step is often missed?

Insert the card into a PCIe x8 slot, secure the bracket screw, then attach SFP+ transceivers and cables before powering on the server.
