Use the Universal Host Bus Adapter to connect to a FC and FCoE networks. The universal HBA is a configurable board that enables you to change its operating protocol mode from a two-port 16 Gb FC HBA to a two-port 10 GbE Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Converged Network Adapter. The universal HBA has four possible configurations:
10 GbE FCoE Copper — This configuration provides twin-ax copper cable connectivity and 10 GbE FCoE HBA functionality. No optical transceiver modules are installed in, nor provided with, this configuration of the universal HBA.
16 Gb FC SW (shortwave) Optical — This configuration requires installing 16 Gb FC shortwave optical transceiver modules in the SFP+ connector of the universal HBA, enabling 16 Gb Fibre Channel HBA functionality.
10 GbE FCoE SR (short-range) Optical — This configuration requires installing 10 GbE short-range optical transceiver modules in the SFP+ connectors of the universal HBA, enabling 10 GbE FCoE Converged Network Adapter functionality.
16 Gb FC LW (longwave) Optical—This configuration requires installing 16Gb FC long-range optical transceiver modules in the SFP+ connectors of the universal HBA, enabling 16 Gb FC HBA functionality.
