Note - If you are connecting this Converged Network Adapter
to a Cisco FCoE switch, do not use the cables listed in this section.
Instead, use OM-3 twin-ax cables that are supported by Cisco. Check
with Cisco for the recommended twin-ax cables to use with the specific
Cisco switch that you are using.If any issues occur due to the use
of Cisco cables, contact Cisco support for resolution.
- Insert
one end of the copper cable into an empty SFP+ cage on the adapter.
Confirm the cable is fully inserted and engaged.
The following figure shows how to connect the dual-port adapter with a copper cable.
- Insert the other end of the copper
cable into an empty SFP+ cage on the FCoE switch.
After the copper cable is connected to the adapter, you can
power on the system.
Note -
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) cannot be used on the same
port as FCoE or iSCSI.
