HBA Features and Specifications

The Sun StorageTek 8 Gb FC PCI-Express HBA, Emulex (single port: SG-XPCIE1FC-

EM8-Z, dual port: SG-XPCIE2FC-EM8-Z) consists of a single-wide, FC bus expansion board. The board interfaces a four- or eight-lane PCI-Express bus, with the four or eight lanes supporting one or two Fibre Channel (FC) optical media ports. Each independent FC port operates at 8 Gbit/sec and features 8/4/2 autonegotiation.

See TABLE 1-1for a list of the HBA features.
