Note -  When you put the FC optics in and power on, the card changes its identity to FC. When you put in the FCoE optics and power on, the card naturally changes its identity to FCoE network. Depending on the optics inserted, the transceivers installed allows the card to multifunction in FC or FCoE mode. This feature is available only on 16GB and 10GB FC PCIe Universal and ExpressModule Universal HBAs.
