Converged network adapters

The Brocade 1007 mounts on a server blade that installs in an IBM BladeCenter® enclosure. The
adapter uses FCoE to converge standard data and storage networking data onto a shared Ethernet
link. Ethernet and Fibre Channel communications are routed through the DCB ports on the adapter
to the blade system enclosure midplane, and then onto switch modules installed in the enclosure.

For information on installing the Brocade 1007 CNA on a server blade, refer to

Chapter 2,

“Hardware Installation”

. For additional information related to the supported blade server, blade

system enclosure, and other devices installed in the enclosure such as I/O modules and switch
modules, refer to the installation instructions provided with these products.
