00AG583 Lenovo Emulex VFA5.2 2x10GbE SFP+ Adapter and FCoE/iSCSI SW

Lenovo spare 00AG583 corresponds to the Emulex VFA5.2 2x10GbE SFP+ Adapter and FCoE/iSCSI SW, option 00AG580 with feature code AT7T. The FCoE and iSCSI offload license that other VFA5.2 cards add later is already part of this option.

The card is based on the Emulex XE102-P2 controller and connects through a PCI Express 3.0 interface in a low-profile format. Two SFP+ cages take SR optical modules or direct-attach twin-ax cables, and each port runs at 10 Gb Ethernet line rate. Receive side scaling, 128 MAC and VLAN addresses per port and 9216-byte jumbo frames are supported.

Hardware offload engines handle FCoE and iSCSI traffic, which frees host processor time for applications. NIC partitioning creates four partitions per port through vNIC1, vNIC2 or Unified Fabric Port, with 62 SR-IOV virtual functions. Typical power is 14.4 W. Data Center Bridging and RoCE v2 complete the converged feature set, and the card is rated for 0 to 55 degrees C in operation.

Systems that run 00AG583 range from the ThinkSystem SR950 (7X11, 7X12) and SR860 (7X69, 7X70) down to the SR250 (7Y52, 7Y51) and ST250 (7Y45, 7Y46). The same card without the license is option 00AG570, and the ML2 version is 01CV770.
