The following PCI Express (PCIe) cards are supported for use with the Sun Server X4-8. Installation rules (card and slot) listed in the table below are recommendations based on factory tested configurations.

Note the following restrictions:

  • Slots 13, 14, 15, and 16 cannot contain bootable devices such as HBA or network boot devices.

  • 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 16 GB Fibre Channel Universal HBA.

  • However, you can have a mix of a single vendor's Sun Storage 16 GB 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.
