The Nortel 5378-F is a Quad Cluster Ethernet Host Module built around four Fibre Channel host connections, used to bring a cluster of servers or storage onto an Ethernet fabric via Fibre Channel host adapters rather than native Ethernet NICs.
Modules of this kind are typically found in legacy SAN and cluster interconnect deployments where Fibre Channel storage needed an Ethernet-facing host presence. Genuine spares are needed to maintain an existing cluster’s connectivity rather than to build new capacity, since this class of hardware is long past mainstream support.
