QLogic Ethernet and 8 Gb Fibre Channel Expansion

Card (CFFh) for IBM BladeCenter

IBM Redbooks Product Guide

The QLogic Ethernet and 8 Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CFFh) for IBM BladeCenter is installed in

the blade server and allows connectivity to high-speed switch bays. This expansion card provides

flexibility for connecting the blade server to the horizontally oriented BladeCenter H modules in bays 7

and 8 or bays 9 and 10 when using the Multi-Switch Interconnect Module (MSIM).

Figure 1 shows the QLogic Ethernet and 8 Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CFFh).

Did you know?

Installing the QLogic Ethernet and 8 Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CFFh) card in every blade server

in your chassis adds two 1 Gb Ethernet ports and two 8 Gb Fibre Channel ports to each server. Combined

with the two onboard Ethernet ports, this gives you an aggregate total of 4 Gbps of Ethernet bandwidth

and 16 Gb of Fibre Channel bandwidth for every server in the chassis. This has the potential of meeting

even the most bandwidth-intensive application needs such as virtualization.

When using the CFFh adapter, you can simultaneously use a CFFv or CIOv adapter to enable additional

I/O support to blade servers such as the HS22 when installed in the IBM BladeCenter H chassis. The

innovative design of the CFFh adapter is designed to work with the CFFv or CIOv adapter to support this

combination workload.

The adapter connects to the midplane directly, without having to use cables or small form-factor

pluggable (SFP) modules. By eliminating these components for up to 14 servers, the resulting savings

alone covers the BladeCenter chassis investment.
