3 Intel® Server FC Expansion Card SBFCM

This Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide contains instructions for installing your Fibre Channel Expansion Card in a blade server. This publication contains information about:

•Installing and configuring the Expansion Card

•Updating the BIOS code and device drivers of the Expansion card

The Fibre Channel Expansion Card is a 2 Gb Fibre Channel device that has two configurable adapter ports. Communication signals are routed from the blade server through the Fibre Channel high-speed connector on the Expansion Card to switch-module bay 3 and bay 4 in the Blade Server Chassis SBCE. This provides a high-performance connection between the 64-bit PCI-X bus in the blade server and the two Fibre Channel Switch Modules in the Blade Server Chassis SBCE.

✏NOTE

The modules in switch-module bay 3 and bay 4 in the Blade Server Chassis SBCE must be Fibre Channel Switch Modules.

Features and specifications

The Expansion Card has the following features:

•Compliance with Third Generation Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface (PC-PH-3), revision 9.2

•Compliance with U.S. and international safety and emissions standards

•Support for direct memory access (DMA)

•Support for bus mastering

•Support for Fibre Channel protocol SCSI (FCP-SCSI) and Fibre Channel Internet protocol (FCP-IP)

•Support for point-to-point fabric connection (F-port fabric login)

•Support for Fibre Channel service (classes 2 and 3)

The following list and table provide a summary of the specifications of your Fibre Channel Expansion Card.
