1 Converged network adapters The Brocade 1741 mounts on supported blade servers that install in Dell™ PowerEdge™ M1000e modular blade systems. It is used in conjunction with matching I/O modules, also installed in the blade enclosure. The adapter uses FCoE to converge standard data and storage networking data onto a shared Ethernet link. Ethernet and Fibre Channel communications are routed through the DCB ports on the adapter to the enclosure backplane then to the I/O module. For information on installing the Brocade 1741 CNA on a blade server, refer to Chapter 2, "Hardware Installation". For additional information related to the supported server blade, blade enclosure, and other devices installed in the enclosure such as I/O and switch modules, refer to the installation instructions provided with these products.
