Description
Features and Specifications
The HPE CN1000Q 2 Port Converged Network Adapter is designed to provide high-performance networking for HPE ProLiant Generation6 and Generation7 servers. It is a PCIe Gen2 x8 adapter that supports Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocols. Some of the key features and specifications of this adapter are:
- Dual-Port Design: The adapter has two 10GbE ports, which provide increased bandwidth and network redundancy.
- Converged Network Support: The adapter supports FCoE, which allows for the transmission of Fibre Channel traffic over Ethernet networks, thereby reducing cabling and infrastructure costs.
- PCIe Gen2 x8 Interface: The adapter utilizes the PCIe Gen2 x8 interface, which provides high-speed connectivity to the server and ensures low-latency performance.
- Jumbo Frames Support: The adapter supports jumbo frames, which enable the transmission of larger packets of data, thereby reducing network overhead and increasing network efficiency.
- Virtualization Support: The adapter supports Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) and Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), which enhance virtual machine performance and improve network scalability in virtualized environments.
- Network Management Support: The adapter is compatible with various network management protocols, such as SNMP, DMI, and WBEM, which enable easy integration with existing network management tools.
- Energy Efficiency: The adapter supports various energy-saving features, such as Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), which reduce power consumption and operational costs.
Benefits of Converged Network Adapter
A converged network adapter (CNA) combines the functionality of both a network interface card (NIC) and a host bus adapter (HBA) into a single device, allowing for improved network connectivity and reduced complexity in data centers. Some of the benefits of using a converged network adapter include:
- Reduced infrastructure costs: By combining NIC and HBA functionality into a single device, a CNA can reduce the number of network interface cards and host bus adapters needed in a data center, resulting in lower infrastructure costs.
- Improved network performance: CNAs are designed to optimize network traffic and reduce latency, which can lead to improved application performance and user experience.
- Simplified network management: With fewer network devices to manage, network administrators can simplify network management and reduce the time and effort needed to troubleshoot network issues.
- Increased bandwidth: CNAs can support higher bandwidths and faster data transfer rates, which can be particularly beneficial for data-intensive applications such as video streaming and data analytics.
- Improved server utilization: By reducing the number of network devices needed in a data center, CNAs can help to improve server utilization rates and reduce power consumption, resulting in cost savings and a more efficient data center environment.
Installation and Configuration
Installation and configuration of the HPE CN1000Q 2 Port Converged Network Adapter can vary depending on the server and operating system being used. However, here are the general steps for installation and configuration:
- Shut down the server and disconnect it from the power source.
- Open the server case and locate an available PCIe slot.
- Remove the cover from the PCIe slot and carefully insert the CN1000Q adapter into the slot, making sure it is firmly seated.
- Secure the adapter with the screw or locking mechanism provided.
- Reattach the cover to the PCIe slot.
- Close the server case and reconnect the power source.
- Boot up the server and allow the operating system to detect and install the new adapter.
- Install the appropriate drivers and software for the adapter, which can be downloaded from the HPE website.
- Configure the adapter settings, such as network connection settings, using the appropriate software or command line tools.
It is important to consult the manufacturer’s documentation and follow any specific instructions for installation and configuration, as well as to ensure compatibility with the server and operating system being used.
