Supported adapter hardware and software This section provides an overview of Brocade adapter supported hardware and software. Fabric Adapters Brocade Fabric Adapter ports can be configured for CNA, NIC, or HBA operation using Brocade Command Utility (BCU) commands. Ports configured in CNA or NIC mode require appropriate 10GbE SFPs or direct-attached SFP+ with copper cables and operate at a 10 Gbps maximum rate. Those configured in HBA mode require appropriate 8 or 16 Gbps Fibre Channel SFPs and operate at an 8 or 16 Gbps maximum rate depending on the installed small form factor pluggable transceiver (SFP+). The Brocade 1860 is a single or dual-port stand-up adapter that ships in the following configurations. • Single-port model - 16 Gbps Fibre Channel SFP, 10GbE SFP, or no optics. • Dual-port model - Two 16 Gbps Fibre Channel, two 10GbE SFPs, or no optics). Note that although adapters may ship with specific optics (or no optics) installed, you can replace with compatible optics, such as 8 Gbps FC SFPs, long-wave SFPs, and SFP+ direct-attach copper cables. Refer to "Hardware compatibility" on page 4 for more information. CNAs The following Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) CNAs are supported: • Brocade 1007. Dual-port mezzanine CNA with a per-port maximum of 10 Gbps. This is an IBM compact form factor horizontal (CFFh) mezzanine-type adapter that installs on supported server blades. • Brocade 1010. Single-port stand-up CNA with a per-port maximum of 10 Gbps. • Brocade 1020. Dual-port stand-up CNA with a per-port maximum of 10 Gbps. • Brocade 1741. Dual-port mezzanine card CNA with a per-port maximum of 10 Gbps. This is a small-form-factor (SFF) mezzanine card that mounts in a Dell blade server. NOTE Install only Brocade-branded small form factor pluggables (SFPs) in stand-up CNAs. Mezzanine CNAs do not have SFPs and external port connectors, but utilize internal ports and connections to switch and I/O modules installed in the blade system enclosure. HBAs The following Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs) are supported: • Brocade 415. Single-port stand-up HBA with a per-port maximum of 4 Gbps using a 4 Gbps SFP. • Brocade 425. Dual-port stand-up HBA with a per-port maximum of 4 Gbps using a 4 Gbps SFP. • Brocade 804. Dual-port mezzanine HBA with a per-port maximum of 8 Gbps. This HBA installs on Hewlett Packard blade servers that install in supported blade system enclosures. Brocade Adapters Installation and Reference Manual xiii 53-1002144-01
