PCIe LP 10-Gb FCoE 2-port Adapter (FC 5270; CCIN 2B3B)
Learn about the features, operating system requirements, and installation notes for the feature code (FC)
5270 adapter.
Overview
This PCI Express adapter has two feature codes associated:
v FC 5270: PCIe LP 10-Gb FCoE 2-port Adapter, is the low-profile adapter.
v FC 5708: 10Gb FCoE PCIe Dual Port Adapter, is the full-height adapter.
The PCIe LP 10-Gb FCoE 2-port Adapter is a high-performance, converged network adapter (CNA). The
adapter supports data networking and storage networking traffic on a single I/O adapter by using
Enhanced Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). Both FCoE and network interface controller
(NIC) functions are available for both ports simultaneously. Using FCoE requires Convergence Enhanced
Ethernet (CEE) switches.
