U525 And U526 Optical Fibre Channel Pci Adapters - NEC Express5800/320Ma Manual

The following 64-bit, 66-MHz PCI host bus adapters (HBAs) provide connections to
most EMC CLARiiON or Symmetrix storage systems:
•
The U525 Optical Fibre Channel PCI Adapters provide 2-gigabit (Gb) attachment
to the storage system through a Storage Area Network (SAN) or switch. The
AA-U52500 is a high-profile adapter and the AA-U52510 is a low-profile adapter.
•
The U526 Optical Fibre Channel PCI Adapters provide 2-Gb direct attachment to
the storage system. The AA-U52600 is a high-profile adapter and the AA-U52610
is a low-profile adapter.
