HBA Features and Specifications

The StorageTek 4 Gb FC Dual Port ExpressModule HBA (SG-XPCIE2FC-EB4-Z) consists of a single wide, ExpressModule bus expansion board that interfaces a 4-lane (8-lane physical) PCI-Express bus to a Fibre Channel (FC) optical media bus. The HBA can act as either an initiator or a target. The board supports two independent FC buses operating at 4.25 Gbits/sec. It is also backward compatible with 2.125-Gbit/sec and 1.0625-Gbit/sec devices.

See HBA Features and Specifications for a list of the HBA features.
