Converged network adapters
Servers with CNAs require fewer adapters per server and, therefore, 75% fewer cable connections
for network and FC attachments.
HP offers the HP CN1000E CNA (Figure 5) and the HP CN1000Q CNA (Figure 7). For information
about servers that support CNAs, see Server support on page 19.
