HBA Features and Specifications

The Sun StorageTek 8 Gb FC PCI-Express HBA, Emulex (single port: SG-XPCIE1FC-
EM8-Z, dual port: SG-XPCIE2FC-EM8-Z) consists of a single-wide, FC bus expansion
board. The board interfaces a four- or eight-lane PCI-Express bus, with the four or
eight lanes supporting one or two Fibre Channel (FC) optical media ports. Each
independent FC port operates at 8 Gbit/sec and features 8/4/2 autonegotiation.
