HPE Q0F09A StoreFabric CN1300R Adapter

HPE Q0F09A StoreFabric CN1300R 10/25Gb Dual-Port Converged Network Adapter

The HPE Q0F09A StoreFabric CN1300R is a dual-port 10/25Gb converged network adapter designed for compatible HPE ProLiant servers. It brings Ethernet and storage networking capabilities together on a single PCIe card, helping businesses simplify network connections in supported data centre environments.

With two SFP28 ports and a PCI Express 3.0 x8 host interface, the CN1300R supports high-speed server networking and qualified iSCSI and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) configurations.

It is particularly relevant for organisations maintaining HPE ProLiant Gen10 infrastructure that uses converged Ethernet and storage traffic.

HPE Q0F09A Technical Specifications

Ethernet and Storage Networking on One Adapter

The main advantage of the CN1300R is its ability to handle different types of network traffic through a converged adapter.

• 10/25Gb Ethernet: Provides high-bandwidth connectivity for supported server applications.
• iSCSI: Supports storage communication over compatible IP networks.
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet: Enables qualified FCoE storage connectivity using compatible converged network infrastructure.
• Dual SFP28 ports: Provides two physical network connections for supported configurations.
• PCIe expansion: Installs in a compatible server PCIe slot without requiring an OCP networking module.

FCoE functionality requires suitable network switches, firmware, drivers and storage infrastructure. The CN1300R is not a native Fibre Channel HBA and does not connect directly to a conventional Fibre Channel SAN switch through its Ethernet ports.

Compatible HPE Servers

HPE documents the Q0F09A adapter for selected ProLiant Gen10 servers, including the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 and HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen10.

Support depends on the exact server configuration, PCIe slot availability, firmware and operating system. Before ordering, check the relevant HPE server QuickSpecs and the supported storage connectivity matrix.

For replacement installations, also verify the existing adapter part number and the network configuration currently in use.

SFP28 Transceiver and Cable Compatibility

The CN1300R uses SFP28 ports for qualified 10Gb and 25Gb connections. Depending on the network design, supported connections may use direct-attach copper cables, active optical cables or suitable optical transceivers.

Different cable types have different distance limits. For example, the manufacturer’s product brief documents qualified short-range optical connections using OM3 and OM4 fibre.

Check the intended speed, switch model and cable part number before purchasing. Transceivers and cables should not be assumed to be included with the adapter.

Q0F09A vs 872526-001

These two part numbers identify the same CN1300R adapter family but serve different purchasing purposes:

• Q0F09A: HPE retail option number for the StoreFabric CN1300R adapter.
• 872526-001: HPE replacement spare part number.

Replacement spares may be supplied without the packaging or accessories associated with the retail option. Confirm the supplied bracket and other components before ordering.

New and Refurbished HPE Q0F09A

New HPE Q0F09A

A New or unused CN1300R adapter may suit planned server upgrades or replacement inventory. Confirm the condition, packaging, included accessories and warranty terms before purchasing.

Refurbished HPE Q0F09A

A Refurbished adapter may provide a cost-effective way to maintain compatible HPE ProLiant Gen10 systems. Buyers should request confirmation of physical inspection, adapter detection and testing of both network ports.

For either condition, confirm stock availability, warranty coverage and UK delivery arrangements with Euroland IT Store.
