N2XX-AQPCI05 is a Fibre Channel HBA with the Qlogic QLE2562 model, 2 x 8G FC SFP ports, PCIe x8 host interface and a half-height PCIe card form for the UCS C220 M3 LFF rack server. It uses preinstalled DS-SFP-FC8G-SW optics for 8G short-wave SAN links. As a Cisco UCS C220 M3 network adapter, the card fits the C220 M3 LFF PCIe option-card positions for Fibre Channel storage fabrics. The host configuration sets the usable count: one CPU without PCIe RAID takes one optional PCIe card, while two CPUs without PCIe RAID take two. N2XX-AEPCI05 is the Emulex LPe 12002 2-port 8G FC sibling for the same HBA role. Before the PO, confirm CPU count and RAID controller presence on the running inventory.
N2XX-AQPCI05 price for new stock is $2,056.95. N2XX-AQPCI05 refurb price is $29.39. N2XX-AQPCI05 is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

2 x 8G FC SFP ports terminate on preinstalled DS-SFP-FC8G-SW optics, so replacement planning keeps the optics with the card and avoids a separate transceiver line. PCIe x8 host interface service connects the Qlogic QLE2562 HBA to the C220 M3 LFF riser layout. 2G FC, 4G FC and 8G FC SAN rates keep the storage fabric match on Fibre Channel, not Ethernet. Half-height card height matches the PCIe option-card offering for the host. N2XX-AQPCI05 uses the Fibre Channel HBA path; converged network adapter, NIC and storage accelerator choices stay separate in the C220 M3 LFF build. With a PCIe RAID controller installed, a one-CPU C220 M3 LFF takes no optional PCIe card, and a two-CPU system takes one. Before the PO, match the chassis CPU count.
Order N2XX-AQPCI05 as new sealed when the PO needs factory packaging, or certified refurbished when a tested field spare matches the installed UCS C220 M3 LFF host. Certified refurbished cards are inspected and bench-tested in a compatible host, and every port links at rated speed. Cisco service ended on 29 February 2024, so ORM's warranty is the cover that applies. New sealed carries up to 3-year extended; certified refurbished carries up to 1 year, and 30 days on every condition, terms apply. UK, EU, US and MEA regional stock/RMA, RMA with advance replacement, PO accepted and Net-30 for government apply.

A buyer keeping a UCS C220 M3 LFF in service after 29 February 2024 needs a like-for-like HBA with 2 x 8G FC ports. Specify N2XX-AQPCI05 with the installed DS-SFP-FC8G-SW optics and match the CPU and RAID configuration before the PO.
A buyer replacing a failed storage path on a C220 M3 LFF needs the same Qlogic QLE2562 Fibre Channel HBA to preserve the 8G FC port plan. Specify the half-height PCIe card and keep the preinstalled optics paired with the replacement.
A buyer adding Fibre Channel capacity to a two-CPU C220 M3 LFF without PCIe RAID can use two optional PCIe cards. Specify the second HBA only after the running inventory confirms two CPUs, no PCIe RAID controller and the open PCIe slot.
16G Fibre Channel links
N2XX-AQPCI05 is an 8G FC HBA. UCS C220 M3 LFF takes UCSC-PCIE-Q2672 for 16Gb Fibre Channel with SR Optics.
One-CPU RAID builds
UCS C220 M3 LFF with one CPU and a PCIe RAID controller takes no optional PCIe cards. Add the second CPU before selecting an HBA.
Changeable FC optics
N2XX-AQPCI05 uses preinstalled DS-SFP-FC8G-SW optics with a do-not-change restriction. Use a host design with separate optics if field-swappable SFPs are required.

N2XX-AQPCI05 is the Qlogic QLE2562 Dual Port 8Gb Fibre Channel HBA under a Cisco UCS C-Series PID. N2XX marks the older UCS C-Series accessory code, AQ marks the Qlogic HBA family, PCI marks the PCIe card form, and 05 is the 8G dual-port generation. N2XX-AQPCI05= is the spare form, and N2XX-AQPCI05-RF is Cisco-remanufactured.
N2XX-AQPCI05 fits the UCS C220 M3 LFF rack server as a half-height PCIe option card. One-CPU systems use slot 1 when no PCIe RAID controller is installed. Two-CPU systems use slot 1 or slot 2, and PCIe RAID reduces the optional-card count.
A UCS C220 M3 LFF uses N2XX-AQPCI05 for Qlogic 2-port 8G Fibre Channel. The same host also takes Fibre Channel HBA choices N2XX-AEPCI03, N2XX-AEPCI05, UCSC-PCIE-Q2672 and UCSC-PCIE-E16002. Choose the PID by SAN speed and optic plan before the PO.
N2XX-AQPCI05 has 2 x 8G FC SFP ports, a PCIe x8 host interface, half-height PCIe card form and preinstalled DS-SFP-FC8G-SW optics. The C220 M3 LFF slot plan sets one optional PCIe card with one CPU and two optional PCIe cards with two CPUs when no PCIe RAID controller is installed.
N2XX-AQPCI05 provides two 8G Fibre Channel ports through SFP optics. The storage fabric must match 8G FC for the rated port speed, while 4G FC and 2G FC backward operation belong to the QLogic 2500 Series family. Keep Ethernet, FCoE and iSCSI traffic on a CNA instead.
N2XX-AQPCI05 ships with DS-SFP-FC8G-SW optics preinstalled for its Fibre Channel ports. Do not add a separate FC SFP for the card and do not change the installed optic during like-for-like replacement. Match the SAN fabric, fiber patching and switch port to 8G short-wave FC service.
N2XX-AQPCI05 is a half-height PCIe option card for the UCS C220 M3 LFF. A one-CPU host without PCIe RAID takes one optional PCIe card in slot 1. A two-CPU host without PCIe RAID takes two optional PCIe cards, and a two-CPU host with PCIe RAID takes one.
N2XX-AQPCI05 ordering uses the base PID for configured systems, N2XX-AQPCI05= for spare ordering and N2XX-AQPCI05-RF for Cisco-remanufactured supply. Cisco Refresh is separate from certified refurbished condition. The PO line should carry the exact form needed for the installed host and service process.
No, N2XX-AQPCI05 is a Fibre Channel HBA, not a converged network adapter. A UCS C220 M3 LFF build that needs Qlogic 10GbE FCoE uses UCSC-PCIE-Q8362 instead. Keep native 8G FC SAN connectivity on the Qlogic QLE2562 card.
N2XX-AQPCI05 uses a Qlogic QLE2562 controller, while N2XX-AEPCI05 uses an Emulex LPe 12002 controller. Both fill the 2-port 8G Fibre Channel HBA role in the UCS C220 M3 LFF. Choose Qlogic for a Qlogic spare pool and Emulex for an Emulex spare pool.
UCSC-PCIE-Q2672 is the higher-speed Qlogic Fibre Channel HBA for the UCS C220 M3 LFF, with 16Gb Fibre Channel and SR Optics. N2XX-AQPCI05 stays on Qlogic QLE2562 8G FC. Choose UCSC-PCIE-Q2672 for a 16G fabric refresh and N2XX-AQPCI05 for 8G sparing.
UCSC-PCIE-E16002 is an Emulex LPe16002-M6 16Gb Fibre Channel HBA with SR Optics for the UCS C220 M3 LFF. N2XX-AQPCI05 is the Qlogic QLE2562 8G FC HBA. Choose UCSC-PCIE-E16002 for Emulex 16G replacement planning and N2XX-AQPCI05 for Qlogic 8G continuity.
Cisco stopped selling N2XX-AQPCI05 on 14 February 2019, and Cisco service ended on 29 February 2024. The PID serves UCS C-Series rack hosts; this page uses the UCS C220 M3 LFF fit and PCIe slot rules for the host-led build.
ORM offers N2XX-AQPCI05 in new sealed and certified refurbished condition. Cisco service ended on 29 February 2024, so ORM's warranty is the cover that applies. New sealed carries up to 3-year extended, certified refurbished carries up to 1 year, and 30 days on every condition, terms apply.
