Supported PCIe Cards

Language:

The following PCI Express (PCIe) cards are supported for use with the Sun Server X4-4. Installation rules (card and slot) listed in the table below are recommendations based on factory tested configurations.

Note the following restrictions:

No mixing of Emulex and Qlogic versions of the Sun Storage 16 Gb Fibre Channel PCIe Universal HBA in the system. Only one vendor's option card can be used per system.
No mixing of FC SFP+ and FCoE SFP+ on the same Sun Storage 16Gb Fibre Channel Universal HBA.
However, you can have a mix of a single vendor's Sun Storage 16Gb Fibre Channel Universal HBA in the system (either Qlogic or Emulex); one installed with FC SFP+ and one installed with FCoE SFP+.
- For Qlogic adapters: 7101676, 7101680, 7101678 FCoE
  
  -or-
- For Emulex adapters: 7101686, 7101688 FCoE
No mixing of the Sun Storage 16 Gb Fibre Channel PCIe Universal HBA with the Sun StorageTek 8 Gb FC PCIe HBA in the system.
No mixing of the Dual-Port 10 Gigabit-Ethernet PCIe 2.0 Copper/Fiber SFP+ Adapter with the Sun Dual Port 10GBase-T PCIe 2.0 Low Profile Adapter LP in the system.
