For selected models that come with two 10Gbps iSCSI channel host ports. The
10Gbps host connectivity is achieved by inserting SFP+ into the SFP+ cages on
iSCSI ports and data signals are sent through optical cables.
The 10Gbps iSCSI channel standard allows for optical connections only. Optical
cables can be used over longer distances and have been shown to be more reliable.
Due to the demands of high transfer rates, optical cables are preferred for 10Gb
iSCSI connectivity. Optical cables are also less susceptible to EMI.
NOTE
Please contact you vendor for a list of qualified components!
The 10Gb iSCSI host ports connect to host adapters (HBA) that feature a 10Gbps
transfer rate, SFP+ interface, and support full-duplex transfer. The HBA card best
come with a 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X or PCI-E interface.
