About the Cisco UCSC-PCIE-QD40GF Cisco UCS C-Series rack server / component
Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers deliver substantial compute headroom, and this converged network adapter unlocks that infrastructure investment by adding high-speed, low-latency fabric connectivity. The Cisco UCSC-PCIE-QD40GF is a PCIe-based network adapter purpose-built for C-Series deployments where unified, intelligent networking is non-negotiable. Network engineers and infrastructure architects looking to consolidate storage, clustering, and general IP traffic onto a single adapter will find this component essential for modern data center consolidation strategies.
This adapter brings 40 Gigabit Ethernet performance with four QSFP+ ports, enabling dense, high-bandwidth connections while maintaining a compact form factor. Cisco qualifies and validates every component in the UCS ecosystem, ensuring seamless integration via Cisco UCS Manager service profiles for centralized, policy-driven provisioning. Support for Ethernet, FCoE, iSCSI, and RDMA protocols makes this adapter a true converged network solution, reducing complexity and operational overhead. Hardware offload capabilities—including TCP/IP, checksum, LSO, and LRO—free CPU cycles for application workloads. Data Center Bridging and Priority Flow Control support guarantee predictable, deterministic network behavior across virtualized and containerized environments.
