Option Cards

Many different kinds of cards are supported in Sun systems. Option cards provide the means to add options to your system with the ease of plug and play.

The kinds of options that you can add to a system are too numerous to list here, but some of the common options include:

• Peripheral interfaces such as SCSI, IDE, and Fibre Channel Host Adapters

• Frame Buffers for video and graphics support

• Communication and network interfaces

• Bus extension cards

The type of option card that you add to your system depends on the bus in your system. The systems sold today have SBus or PCI busses and require a corresponding option card. Also some frame buffer option cards connect directly to the UPA bus.
