Description
Troubleshooting HPE StoreFabric CN1200E
The 767078-001 HPE StoreFabric CN1200E is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet converged network adapter designed to provide high-performance networking capabilities to servers and storage systems. The CN1200E supports both Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocols, allowing it to be used in converged network environments.
If you are experiencing issues with the CN1200E, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take:
- Verify the physical connection: Check that the adapter is properly connected to the server or storage system, and that the cable is securely plugged in. If possible, try a different cable or port to rule out a physical issue.
- Check driver and firmware versions: Ensure that the latest drivers and firmware are installed on both the adapter and the server or storage system. This can often resolve compatibility issues and improve performance.
- Check for conflicts: Verify that there are no conflicting devices or drivers installed on the server or storage system that could be interfering with the CN1200E.
- Check network settings: Verify that the network settings on the adapter and the server or storage system are configured correctly, including IP address, subnet mask, and gateway settings.
- Monitor performance: Use performance monitoring tools to track the performance of the CN1200E and identify any potential bottlenecks or issues.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to contact HPE support for further assistance.
Maintenance and Support
The HPE StoreFabric CN1200E 10GB 2Port Converged Network Adapter is a high-performance network adapter designed to provide fast and reliable connectivity for data center environments.
Maintenance and support for the CN1200E adapter typically includes:

- Technical support: HPE provides technical support for the CN1200E adapter through its support portal, phone, or email. Customers can contact HPE’s support team if they encounter any issues with the adapter or if they need assistance with configuration or setup.
- Warranty: The CN1200E adapter comes with a limited warranty from HPE, which covers defects in materials and workmanship for a specified period of time. Customers can contact HPE’s support team to initiate a warranty claim if they experience any issues with the adapter during the warranty period.
- End-of-life support: As the CN1200E adapter approaches the end of its life cycle, HPE may provide end-of-life support to help customers transition to newer hardware. This may include assistance with migration and upgrade planning, as well as access to documentation and technical support.
Future Developments and Upgrades
The HPE StoreFabric CN1200E 10GB 2Port Converged Network Adapter is a network interface card (NIC) designed to provide high-speed connectivity for converged data center networks. It supports both Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocols, allowing for a single adapter to handle both storage and networking traffic.
As for future developments and upgrades, it’s important to note that the HPE StoreFabric CN1200E is a mature product that has been on the market for several years. Therefore, it is unlikely that there will be any major hardware upgrades to this specific adapter. However, HPE may release firmware updates to improve performance, add new features, or address any security issues that may arise.
In terms of future developments in the broader field of converged networking, there are several trends that may have an impact on the HPE StoreFabric CN1200E. For example, the adoption of software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) technologies may lead to the development of new converged network adapters that are optimized for these environments.
Additionally, the increasing demand for higher bandwidth and lower latency in data center networks may drive the development of new networking technologies such as 25GbE and 50GbE, which would require new adapters to take advantage of the higher speeds. It’s worth noting that the HPE StoreFabric CN1200E is a 10GbE adapter, so it may eventually become outdated as newer, faster technologies become more widely adopted.
