Description
Product Overview of the Dell NC5NP
Dell is a well-known name in the technology industry, and its PowerEdge M1000e Blade Enclosure is a popular server enclosure that is designed to support a range of Dell PowerEdge blade servers. The enclosure features several components, including the Chassis Management Controller (CMC) module, which is responsible for managing the enclosure and its components. The I/O Module Card is an essential component of the CMC module, as it provides connectivity to the blade servers and external networks. This article will provide an overview of the Dell NC5NP Poweredge M1000e CMC Controller I/O Module Card and its features.
What is the Dell NC5NP Controller I/O Module Card
The Dell NC5NP Poweredge M1000e CMC Controller I/O Module Card is a hardware component that provides input/output (I/O) connectivity to the blade servers within the M1000e Blade Enclosure. The card is installed within the CMC module, which is responsible for managing the enclosure and its components. The I/O Module Card features four ports that support 10 Gbps Ethernet connectivity and can be used to connect to external networks or other blade enclosures. The card also supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connectivity, which enables Fibre Channel traffic to be carried over Ethernet networks.
Features of Poweredge M1000e CMC Controller I/O Module Card
The Dell NC5NP Poweredge M1000e CMC Controller I/O Module Card features several key components that make it an essential component of the M1000e Blade Enclosure. Some of the key features of the card include:
Four Ethernet Ports
The I/O Module Card features four Ethernet ports that support 10 Gbps connectivity. These ports can be used to connect the blade servers within the enclosure to external networks or other blade enclosures. The four ports also provide redundancy, which ensures that the enclosure remains operational even if one or two of the ports fail.
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Connectivity
The I/O Module Card also supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connectivity, which enables Fibre Channel traffic to be carried over Ethernet networks. FCoE provides a cost-effective way to consolidate storage and data networks, reducing the need for separate Fibre Channel switches and network adapters.
Integrated Management
The I/O Module Card is integrated with the CMC module, which provides a single point of management for the enclosure and its components. The CMC module allows administrators to monitor and manage the enclosure, blade servers, and other components from a single interface, simplifying management and reducing the time and effort required to manage the enclosure.
Redundancy
The I/O Module Card features redundancy, which ensures that the enclosure remains operational even if one or two of the Ethernet ports fail. The card also supports virtual link aggregation (VLAG), which allows multiple ports to be grouped together to provide additional bandwidth and redundancy.
Hot-Swappable
The I/O Module Card is hot-swappable, which means that it can be removed and replaced while the enclosure is still running. This allows administrators to replace the card without taking the enclosure offline, reducing downtime and minimizing the impact on operations.
