Adapter Specifications

The QLogic 8100 Series Adapters provide high-performance server connectivity to SAN and LAN networks. Table 1-5lists the adapter physical and electrical specifications.

NOTE:

Some features may not be available for all 8100 Series Converged Network Adapters. Refer to the data sheet for the a list of adapter models and supported features.

Table 1-5. Physical and Electrical Specification

Specification	Description
Ports	Single-port or dual-port 10Gbps Ethernet. Pluggable SFPs
	(SFP+) for enhanced serviceability.
Transceivers	SFP+ pluggable:
	 QLogic supported active and passive copper cables with
	transceivers
	 QLogic optical short range (SR)—300 meter maximum
	cable length
	Table 1-6shows the adapter models and supported
	transceivers.
Form Factor	Low-profile PCIe card. The adapter ships with a full-height
	bracket for use in a standard PCIe slot, or an optional spare
	low-profile bracket for use in a low-profile PCIe slot.
	Low-profile slots are typically found in compact servers.
Power Consumption	Approximately 7-10 Watts (typical) for dual-port QLogic 8100
	Series Adapters
Bus Interface	PCIe interface with eight lanes. The adapter operates in one
	of the following modes
	 PCIe Gen 1 x8 mode, 250MBps per lane
	 PCIe Gen 2 x4 mode, 500MBps per lane
	QLogic adapters can automatically train a PCIe Gen 2 x8
	slot to use the slot as a PCIe Gen 2 x4 slot, where four lanes
	of the PCIe Gen 2 x8 slot are powered off to save power and
	maximize performance.
