Installation Steps
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet converged network adapter
(CNA) connectivity options include LC optical and Cisco
SFP+, shown next.

3. Plug the other end of the cable into a connector on the storage
system or a hub/switch port.
4. Label each cable to identify the adapter and the
storage/switch/hub port to which it connects.
5. After connecting all adapters in the server, power up the server.
Matching the adapter with the correct PCI slot
When choosing an adapter for your server, it is important to know
which adapter is compatible with your server's PCI/PCI-X/PCI
Express slots. Certain adapter models have specific voltage
requirements or physical limitations that allow them to work only in
specific slots.
