Hi @SrinivasaReddyAllu ,

How many disk shelves do you have?
Are you using switched storage or switchless storage?
Do you have a single NIC or dual NIC (X60130A )?

If you have 1x shelf and single NIC switched or switchless storage then you have no ports free as you will cable as per the attached image to ports e3a and e3b.
If you have 2x shelf and dual NIC switchless then you have no ports free.
If you have 1x shelf and dual NIC then you would have free ports on each card that you can mix optical (AOC + transceiver) and copper (DAC).
If you have >2x shelf and dual NIC and switched storage, then you would have free ports on each card that you can mix optical (AOC + transceiver) and copper (DAC).

Here is a direct link for the card https://hwu.netapp.com/Adapter/Index?category=36448154,21250,14241298&partno=X60130A#

This card is a QSFP28 card and will support:

copper Ethernet at 40 or 100Gbps via DAC (Direct Attached Copper); OR
optical Ethernet at 40 with transceiver and 100Gbps via both AOC (Active Optical Cable) and transceiver.

If you view "Support Connections" on the array you can see the combinations..... direct link here https://hwu.netapp.com/DetailViews/OverviewPage.aspx?platformTypeId=5265148&platform=34446844&os=48437980#
