Dell M8428-k 10 Gb Converged Network Switch

The Dell M8428-k 10 Gb Converged Network switch module supports FCoE protocols and allows Fibre Channel traffic to travel over 10 Gbps Enhanced Ethernet (DCB) networks. This module consists of:

•Four 8 Gbps external autosensing Fibre Channel ports.

•Eight 10 Gb Enhanced Ethernet (DCB) optical SFP+ port connectors.

•Sixteen internal 10 Gb Enhanced Ethernet (DCB/FCoE) ports that link to the blades in the enclosure.

•One serial port with an RJ-45 connector.

NOTE: This switch module includes Short Wave Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers in the Fibre Channel ports. To ensure proper Fibre Channel functionality, use only SFPs provided with this module.

This module can be installed in Fabric A, B, or C.
