HBA Features and Specifications
The StorageTek 8 Gb FC PCI-Express HBA, Emulex (single port:
SG-XPCIE1FC-EM8-Z, SG-PCIE1FC-EM8-Z, SG-XPCIE1FC-EM8-N, SG-PCIE1FC-EM8-N,
7105391 dual port: SG-XPCIE2FC-EM8-Z, SG-PCIE2FC-EM8-Z, SG-XPCIE2FC-EM8-N,
SG-PCIE2FC-EM8-N) 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 the following table for a list of the HBA features.
