HBA Features and Specifications
Oracle's Sun Storage 16 Gb FC PCIe HBA, Emulex (marketing part number 7101684) is a
standalone,
PCIe low-profile host bus adapter.
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.
Figure 1, Table 1, HBA Features and Specification lists the features and
specifications of the universal HBA. For a list of supported operating
systems, see Figure 2, Table 2, Supported Operating System/Technology Versions.
