IBM BladeCenter at-a-glance guide

The Emulex 8Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CIOv) for IBM BladeCenter enables high-performance

connection to a storage area network (SAN). Thanks to the innovative design of the IBM BladeCenter

midplane, this Fibre Channel adapter operates without needing an optical transceiver module, saving you

significant hardware costs. Each adapter provides dual paths to the SAN switches to ensure full

redundancy. Meanwhile the exclusive firmware-based architecture allows firmware and features to be

upgraded without taking the server offline or rebooting and without needing to upgrade the driver.

Did you know?

When using the CIOv adapter, you can simultaneously use a CFFh adapter to enable more types of I/O to

supported blade servers such as the HS22 when installed in the IBM BladeCenter H chassis. The

innovative design of the CIOv adapter works with the CFFh adapter to support this combination.

This expansion card connects directly to the midplane without having to use cables or optical modules. By

eliminating these components for up to 14 servers, the resulting savings alone covers the BladeCenter

chassis investment.

You can upgrade the firmware of Emulex host bus adapters (HBAs) without taking the server offline or

rebooting. This is an exclusive Emulex feature that minimizes downtime and protects the investment in

your infrastructure.
