QLogic 10Gb CNA for IBM System x and IBM Power Systems 5
Supported connectivity
The QLogic 10Gb CNA supports the QLogic 10Gb SFP+ SR Optical Transceiver listed in Table 1. The
transceivers are standard on the QLogic 10Gb CNA for IBM Power Systems, feature code 5708.
Active copper cables (also known as Twinax Active cables, or Direct-attach copper or DAC cables) are
also supported on the adapter for System x servers, but that support also depends on the switch that the
cable also connects to. Table 4 lists the supported cables where the combination of the QLogic 10Gb
CNA for System x and the specific switch has been tested.
Note: Direct-attach copper cables are not supported by the QLogic 10Gb CNA for IBM Power Systems,
feature code 5708.
