By default, the EF570 controller includes two Ethernet management ports that provide out-of-band
system management access and either two 16Gbps FC or 10Gbps iSCSI optical baseboard ports for host
connections. As a result, EF570 controllers are ordered as either FC base or iSCSI base. Optional host
interface ports can be added as indicated in Table 12. For the optional 32Gbps FC, 25Gbps iSCSI, and
12Gbps SAS HICs, any of the feature pack SMIDs (FP-SMID) can be used because those interfaces
don’t have multiple protocol choices. The 32Gbps FC HIC uses specific FP-SMIDs for NVMe/FC protocol.
The 100Gbps IB HIC has four IB protocols available on the E5700 100Gb IB HIC, including:
• iSER
• SRP
• NVMe/IB
• NVMe/RoCE
