First time using SFP+ and have hit a roadblock. Wanted to get some feedback.
I have:
* Chelsio 10GB Dual Port PCIe SFP+ Network Card CC2-S320E-SR 110-1114-30
* Dell PowerConnect 6224 24 Port Gigabit Switch
* QSFPTEK 10G SFP+ DAC Cable, 0.5m (2ft) Passive Direct Attach Copper Twinax Cable for Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU50CM, Ubiquiti, D-Link, Netgear, Mikrotik, Open Switch Devices
When I place the Chelsio into the truenas box, the card was recognized right away and I was able to see the two SFP+ ports appear on my dashboard. After ordering a usb to serial converter, was able to get the firmware updated on the switch. Now Its time to connect them. No lights. Switch port combinations, no lights. Not recognized on either the switch or truenas as plugged in.
So I plugged the same cable into 2 ports on the switch. Lights! So the router appears to be working. Did the same on the trunas box. No lights.
What am I missing? The card appears to be supported. The router seems like it's working fine but the truenas refuses to establish a connection.
Any thoughts?
