UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF is the Cisco QLogic QLE2742-CSC dual-port 32G FC SFP PCIe Fibre Channel HBA for UCS C220 M5, C240 M5 and C480 M5 rack servers. SR optical transceivers ship installed for multimode SAN links. C220 M5 and C240 M5 use Riser 1 or 2 with an x8 electrical slot, and C480 M5 takes the HHHL x8 card in its PCIe option slots. C220 M4 and C240 M4 hosts also take the QLogic HBA in half-height PCIe slots. This Cisco UCS C220 M5 network adapter connects server PCIe lanes to Fibre Channel switch ports, not Ethernet. UCSC-PCIE-BS32GF suits a single-port 32G FC design instead.
UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF price for new stock is $3,763.20. UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF refurb price is $593.25. UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

32G FC line rate per port is the top storage link speed, with 16G FC and 8G FC backward operation for existing Fibre Channel fabrics. PCIe 3.0 x8 is the host interface, so the chassis must present an x8 electrical slot. 2,048 concurrent logins and 2,048 active exchanges per port set the SAN session scale. UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF carries NPIV, FC-NVMe, FEC, BB-CR, HBA Port Diagnostics, LCB and RDP for Fibre Channel operations. BIOS and UEFI boot are available for SAN boot planning. Multimode reach is 20 m on OM2, 70 m on OM3 and 100 m on OM4 or OM5 at 32G FC. The low-profile card body measures 69.4 mm high and 167.6 mm deep.
Order UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF as new sealed or certified refurbished for UCS C-Series sparing. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested in a compatible host; optics bay recognition is checked, and every port links at rated speed. Specify the target host generation, riser population and fibre media distance before the PO. New sealed carries up to 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished carries up to 1 year, and 30-day returns apply to every condition. Regional stock and RMA with advance replacement cover UK, EU, US and MEA buyers; PO accepted and Net-30 for government.

A storage team has a C220 M5 or C240 M5 with one failed dual-port 32G FC path and existing SR multimode cabling. The replacement keeps the QLE2742 driver stack and transceiver type the rack already uses. Before the PO, confirm the server generation, riser slot and fibre media distance.
A rack build adds Fibre Channel to a 2-CPU C220 M5 or C240 M5 after the base server order. The card uses an x8 electrical PCIe slot in Riser 1 or 2, and C220 M5 permits two PCIe option cards with two CPUs. Before the PO, confirm CPU count and riser population.
An infrastructure team is standardizing server storage links on 32G FC while retaining 16G FC and 8G FC fabrics during migration. The HBA ships with SR optics and reaches 100 m on OM4 or OM5 at 32G FC. Before the PO, confirm switch speed and fibre grade.
Ethernet uplink requirement
The adapter carries Fibre Channel, not Ethernet. C220 M5 and C240 M5 hosts take UCSC-PCIE-QD25GF for a dual-port 25Gb Ethernet NIC.
Single 32G FC port
The adapter is dual-port. C220 M5, C240 M5 and C480 M5 host sets also carry UCSC-PCIE-BS32GF for a single-port 32G FC HBA.
64G FC fabric
The adapter tops out at 32G FC per port. The C-Series adapter set carries UCSC-P-Q7D64GF for a two-port 64G FC PCIe HBA.

UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF is the Cisco PID for the QLogic QLE2742-CSC dual-port 32G FC HBA. UCSC marks UCS C-Series, PCIE marks a PCIe card, and QD32GF marks QLogic dual-port 32G FC. UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF= is the spare form, and UCSC-PCIEQD32GF-RF is Cisco-remanufactured.
UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF fits UCS C220 M5, UCS C240 M5, UCS C480 M5, UCS C220 M4 and UCS C240 M4 rack servers. C220 M5 and C240 M5 use Riser 1 or 2 with an x8 electrical slot. C480 M5 uses an HHHL x8 PCIe slot. Before the PO, confirm generation and riser.
A UCS C220 M5 uses UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF when the requirement is dual-port 32G FC storage. The same Fibre Channel HBA set carries UCSC-PCIE-QD16GF, UCSC-PCIE-BD16GF, UCSC-PCIE-BS32GF and UCSC-PCIE-BD32GF. Select by port speed, port count and vendor driver stack.
UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF has 2 x 32G FC SFP ports, PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface, and a low-profile card body with a full-height bracket installed. The card is 69.4 mm high and 167.6 mm deep. The chassis must supply an x8 electrical slot, and the far-end fabric must match 8G, 16G or 32G operation.
UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF has two Fibre Channel ports rated for 32G FC line rate per port. The adapter also operates with 16G FC and 8G FC infrastructure. The far-end FC switch port, optic and fibre grade must match the planned link speed before the server is cabled.
UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF ships with SR optical transceivers installed, so the order does not need separate Cisco SFP PIDs for the card. Use multimode fibre and match distance: 20 m on OM2, 70 m on OM3, or 100 m on OM4 or OM5 at 32G FC.
A C220 M5 can take one PCIe option card in a 1-CPU system and two PCIe option cards in a 2-CPU system. UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF uses Riser 1 or 2 with an x8 electrical slot. Before the PO, confirm CPU count and the riser installed in the chassis.
UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF uses Cisco UCS C-Series Software Release 3.1(1d) as the M5 adapter floor. C220 M5 and C240 M5 pair that release with Cisco IMC 3.1(1d) standalone or UCS Manager 3.2(1d). C480 M5 is in the same M5 rack release family.
UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF carries NPIV for virtual ports, FC-NVMe, FEC at 32G FC, BB-CR, HBA Port Diagnostics, LCB and RDP. BIOS and UEFI boot are present for SAN boot plans. Each port has 2,048 concurrent logins and 2,048 active exchanges.
UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF orders as the base new PID, and UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF= is the field-replacement spare form. UCSC-PCIEQD32GF-RF is Cisco-remanufactured and is separate from ORM certified refurbished condition. The base PID and spare form share the QLogic QLE2742 dual-port 32G FC HBA description.
There is no replacement PID for UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF in the adapter end-of-sale milestones. For a like-for-like spare, keep the same PID and match the host generation. For new 64G FC planning, evaluate UCSC-P-Q7D64GF against the target server generation before ordering.
UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF is dual-port, while UCSC-PCIE-BS32GF is single-port 32G FC. Both appear in the same C220 M5, C240 M5 and C480 M5 Fibre Channel HBA sets. Choose UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF for two SAN paths on one card and UCSC-PCIE-BS32GF for a one-port design.
UCSC-P-Q7D64GF raises the port speed to 64G FC, while UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF stays at 32G FC per port. UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF fits the M5 and M4 rack hosts named for this PID. Use UCSC-P-Q7D64GF only after the target rack server generation and slot plan match that newer HBA.
Cisco stopped selling UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF on 3 September 2024. Cisco has not announced a last date of support for UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF. UCS C220 M5, C240 M5 and C480 M5 sales ended on 30 October 2023, and host support ends on 31 October 2028.
ORM supplies UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF as new sealed or certified refurbished, with 30-day returns on every condition. New sealed carries up to 3-year extended warranty, and certified refurbished carries up to 1 year. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested in a compatible host, with every port linked at rated speed.
