Oracle's Sun Storage 16 Gb FC PCIe Universal HBA, Emulex (marketing part number 7101684) is a standalone, PCIe low-profile universal host bus adapter. The HBA is considered universal because it is a configurable board that changes its operating protocol mode from a two-port 16 Gb FC HBA to a two-port 10 GbE CNA, based on the optical transcievers and optical cables that you insert and attach to the HBA.
The board interfaces an eight-lane PCI Express bus, with eight lanes supporting two Fibre Channel (FC) or two Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) optical media ports. Each independent FC port operates at 16 Gb/sec and features 16/8/4 autonegotiation. Each FCoE port operates at 10 Gb/sec. You can configure the following three options:
10 GbE FCoE option—The version of the card that provides twin-ax (or, copper) 10 GbE FCoE ExpressModule Converged Network Adapter functionality. No optic modules are installed in this Converged Network Adapter.
16 Gb FC optics option—The version of the card that has 16 Gb FC optics installed (optics marketing part number: 7101686) in the SFP+ connecter of the card, providing short-wave 16 Gb Fibre Channel ExpressModule Host Bus Adapter functionality.
10 GbE FCoE optics option—The version of the card that has 10 GbE optics installed (optics marketing part number: 7101688) in the SFP+ connector of the card, providing short-range 10 GbE FCoE ExpressModule Converged Network Adapter functionality.
