The IBM 00Y3291 is a dual-port Emulex Virtual Fabric Adapter (CFFh) designed for IBM BladeCenter environments. This adapter features two PCI Express 2.0 x8 slots, delivering high-bandwidth connectivity for blade server deployments requiring consolidated I/O. The CFFh architecture provides unified fabric capabilities, enabling both Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) traffic on a single adapter, reducing physical slot consumption and simplifying cabling in dense blade enclosures. Compatible with IBM BladeCenter HS22, HS22V, and similar generation blade servers, the 00Y3291 supports x8 PCIe Gen2 throughput for demanding virtualization, storage, and network-intensive workloads. Typical applications include virtualized data centers, NAS/SAN convergence, and high-performance computing clusters where space and power efficiency are critical constraints.
