HBA Features and Specifications
The Sun Storage 16 Gb FC ExpressModule HBA, Emulex (marketing part number 7101690) is a
standalone PCI Express ExpressModule host bus adapter (HBA).
The board interfaces an eight-lane PCI Express bus, with eight lanes supporting two Fibre
Channel (FC) ports. Each independent FC port operates at 16 Gb/sec and features 16/8/4
autonegotiation.
See Figure 1, Table 1, HBA Features and Specification for
a list of the HBA features.
