HBA Features and Specifications

The Oracle Storage Dual-Port 32 Gb Fibre Channel PCIe Low Profile HBA, which uses Broadcom, formerly Emulex, technology (part number: 7335907), is a low-profile, PCIe card that allows connectivity to Fibre Channel (FC) storage outside of the server. The board interfaces an eight-lane PCIe bus, supporting two enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) FC optical media ports. Each independent FC port operates at 32 Gb/s and features 32/16/8 autonegotiation.
