Simplify FX2 cabling with plug-and-play converged I/O and Fiber Channel connectivity. Full L2/L3 capability enhances data center performance.
The FN IO Module (FN IOM) is designed specifically for the PowerEdge FX2 converged-infrastructure chassis, part of the PowerEdge FX architecture. Supporting up to two FN IOMs per chassis, the FX2 converged infrastructure also includes up to 8 x 10GbE internal ports, plus redundant cooling fans and power supplies.
The FN IOM can simplify FX2 connectivity by as much as 8-to-1, greatly reducing cabling complexity. Plug-and-play convenience with zero-touch and preconfigured features enables layer 2 control. This allows fast, easy network deployment using the Dell Blade IO Manager, with additional management of the FN IOM through a CLI using the Dell Networking OS 9, enabling full layer 3 switching functions.
The FN IO Module has the ability to operate in two separate modes.
Enhance east-west traffic flows within the FX2 enclosure for superior network performance. The FN IO Module takes full advantage of high-performance 10GbE throughput and the next-generation of PowerEdge servers, letting you easily connect to high-density network architectures.
In addition to the eight 10GbE internal ports, the FN IOM supports uplink-port link aggregation group (LAG) and virtual link trunking (VLT).
Choose the right module for your environment and simplify connectivity with your choice of external port configurations.
Full data center bridging (DCB) support with zero-touch converged IO activation enable an automated LAN/SAN converged system that connects server nodes to upstream switches. The solution can:
• Reduce cabling up to 75 percent
• Remove up to 50 percent of your existing LAN/SAN adapters
• Decrease upstream top-of-rack (ToR) ports by up to 75 percent
In addition, the FN IOM easily connects to the Dell Networking S5000 10/40GbE Switch that features up to 64 SFP+ ports and up to 12 Fibre Channel ports with full Fibre Channel fabric services support
