N20-AQ0002 is a Cisco UCS M71KR-Q QLogic Converged Network Adapter with two 10Gb internal Ethernet and FCoE connections in a PCIe mezzanine form factor for UCS B200, UCS B250 M1 and UCS B440 blades. It presents LAN and SAN paths to service profiles through two vNICs and two vHBAs. The Cisco UCS B200 network adapter installs on the blade motherboard adapter connector and links blade I/O to the UCS fabric. UCS B250 M1 accepts this M71KR-Q adapter; UCS B250 M2 moves QLogic CNA builds to the M72KR-Q. N20-AE0002 is the Emulex peer for buyers standardizing that driver family.
N20-AQ0002 price for new stock is $208.09, a 14.6% saving from the Cisco list price of $243.76. N20-AQ0002 refurb price is $181.13. N20-AQ0002 is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

Two vNICs give the operating system two Ethernet interfaces, and two vHBAs give the host two FCoE SAN paths. QLogic QLE804x equivalence places the controller in the QLogic 10GbE CNA family. PCIe is the host interface, and the mezzanine connector is internal to the blade rather than an SFP+ cage. N20-AQ0002 uses UCS Manager service profiles for MAC, WWN, vNIC, vHBA, firmware and boot policy settings. B250 accepts two dual-port adapter card connections, and B440 accepts adapter cards in slot 0 or slot 1. Service profiles must include the NIC and HBA definitions that the blade needs before the operating system load.
Order N20-AQ0002 for a like-for-like Cisco UCS M71KR-Q replacement in UCS B200, UCS B250 M1 or UCS B440 blade inventory. New sealed units carry up to 3-year extended warranty, and certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year. Cisco service ended on 31 January 2017, so ORM's warranty is the cover that applies. Certified refurbished adapters are inspected and bench-tested in a compatible host, with the board, connector and bracket inspected. Specify the blade model and slot before the PO. UK, EU, US and MEA stock/RMA, RMA with advance replacement, PO accepted and Net-30 for government apply.

A buyer maintaining UCS B200, UCS B250 M1 or UCS B440 blades after 31 January 2017 needs the same M71KR-Q CNA for a failed mezzanine card. The sparing pool should match N20-AQ0002, the blade model and the service profile vNIC and vHBA count before the PO.
A blade that loses both the 10Gb Ethernet path and the FCoE path may have a failed converged adapter rather than separate LAN and SAN cards. N20-AQ0002 replaces the M71KR-Q hardware in the listed blades. Before the PO, confirm the blade model and adapter slot on the running inventory.
A UCS blade build using FCoE needs the M71KR-Q to present HBAs to the operating system and carry SAN traffic through the UCS fabric. N20-AQ0002 supplies two HBAs and two NICs. Specify the WWN, MAC, vNIC and vHBA service profile settings before the PO.
UCS B250 M2 builds
N20-AQ0002 fits the UCS B250 M1 adapter card list. UCS B250 M2 QLogic CNA builds take N20-AQ0102 instead.
More than two vNICs
N20-AQ0002 gives a maximum of two vNICs per adapter. UCS B200 builds needing a VIC card use N20-AC0002 from the same adapter list.
Intel CNA standardization
N20-AQ0002 is the QLogic M71KR-Q adapter. UCS B200 builds standardized on Intel CNA hardware use N20-AI0102 instead.

N20-AQ0002 is the UCS M71KR-Q QLogic Converged Network Adapter, a PCIe mezzanine CNA with two 10Gb internal Ethernet and FCoE connections. N20-AQ0002= is the spare form. The model belongs in early Cisco UCS B-Series blade adapter slots.
N20-AQ0002 fits UCS B200, UCS B250 M1 and UCS B440 blade adapter slots. UCS B250 M2 QLogic CNA builds use N20-AQ0102 instead. Before the PO, confirm the blade generation and the installed adapter PID in the running inventory.
A UCS B200 uses N20-AQ0002 when the required card is the M71KR-Q QLogic CNA. The same UCS B200 adapter list also carries N20-AI0002, N20-AE0002, N20-AC0002, N20-AB0002, N20-AI0102, N20-AQ0102, N20-AE0102 and UCS-VIC-M82-8P.
N20-AQ0002 has two 10Gb internal Ethernet and FCoE connections, a PCIe mezzanine host interface and QLogic QLE804x equivalence. The adapter presents two vNICs and two vHBAs. The field-replaceable check is the blade model and mezzanine adapter position.
N20-AQ0002 provides two 10Gb internal connections for Ethernet and FCoE traffic. The far end is the UCS blade I/O path through the chassis fabric, so the buyer should match the UCS fabric design rather than order external optics for this adapter.
N20-AQ0002 uses the blade mezzanine adapter card connector. UCS B200 has the shared adapter installation process on the motherboard connector. UCS B250 accepts two dual-port adapter card connections, and UCS B440 accepts adapter cards in slot 0 or slot 1.
N20-AQ0002 is managed through UCS Manager service profiles. The service profile carries the vNIC, vHBA, MAC, WWN, firmware and boot policy settings. Driver loading must match the operating system before a card swap from another adapter family.
Yes, N20-AQ0002 supports FCoE through the M71KR-Q converged adapter. The adapter has two HBAs, so a service profile can create a maximum of two vHBAs for SAN traffic. The same adapter also has two NICs for Ethernet traffic.
N20-AQ0002 is the base PID, and N20-AQ0002= is the spare form. Certified refurbished is an ORM condition, not a Cisco-remanufactured -RF order code. Use the exact PID from the installed blade inventory for a like-for-like replacement.
The replacement for N20-AQ0002 is N20-AQ0102, the Cisco UCS CNA M72KR-Q QLogic Converged Network Adapter. N20-AQ0102 is also present in the UCS B200 and UCS B250 adapter lists. Before ordering it, confirm the blade generation and UCS Manager release.
N20-AQ0002 is the QLogic M71KR-Q CNA, while N20-AE0002 is the Emulex M71KR-E peer in the same early UCS blade adapter lists. Choose N20-AQ0002 for a QLogic driver and HBA identity match.
N20-AQ0102 is the M72KR-Q replacement PID for N20-AQ0002 and remains the QLogic CNA path in later blade adapter lists. N20-AQ0002 suits like-for-like M71KR-Q sparing, while N20-AQ0102 suits builds that call for the replacement card.
Cisco stopped selling N20-AQ0002 on 31 January 2012. Cisco service ended on 31 January 2017. The adapter serves UCS B200, UCS B250 M1 and UCS B440 blade mezzanine slots.
ORM offers N20-AQ0002 new sealed with up to 3-year extended warranty and certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Cisco service ended on 31 January 2017, so ORM's warranty is the cover that applies. Returns run 30 days on every condition; terms apply.
