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, or cables, into an empty SFP+ cage
on the adapter.
Confirm that the cable is fully inserted and engaged.
