- TypeRack
- Four ports supporting 2, 4 and 8 GbE FCoE speeds
- Hot-swappable design enables module changes without server downtime
- Flex I/O form factor fits compatible Dell rack servers
- Quad-port density reduces the number of modules required
- Tested components with updated firmware ensure reliable operation
Four-port Fibre Channel Flex I/O module
The Dell 3G10C is a hot-swappable quad-port SFP+ module that adds 2, 4 or 8 GbE Fibre Channel over Ethernet connectivity to compatible Dell PowerEdge rack servers. It installs in a Flex I/O bay and is ready for deployment with updated firmware.
Who this suits and who it does not
This module suits administrators expanding FCoE storage links on supported Dell rack platforms that have an available Flex I/O slot. It does not suit teams needing more than four ports, speeds beyond 8 GbE, or a form factor other than the Dell Flex I/O standard.
Deciding specification
The module provides four SFP+ ports operating at 2, 4 or 8 GbE FCoE, which is the single specification that determines whether it matches the required link speed and port count.

Questions about this item
Which Dell PowerEdge chassis has the Flex I/O bay that accepts this 3G10C module?
The 3G10C is a Flex I/O module designed for Dell PowerEdge rack servers that include a CAT-17202 hot-swappable bay; consult your server’s technical guide to confirm the bay is present.
Can the four 2/4/8GbE FCoE ports operate at 2 GbE when connected to legacy 2 GbE Fibre Channel switches?
Yes, each port auto-negotiates down to 2 GbE, so the module interoperates with older 2 GbE switches while still offering 4 GbE and 8 GbE capability on newer links.
How do I verify the module is functioning after inserting it into the hot-swappable bay?
The server’s LCD or iDRAC will show the module as “OK” with four active ports, and the switch side will report four 2/4/8GbE FCoE links up.
