3.3. Installing the Optional Host Cards
The
JetStor FX
series comes with two on-board 10GbE iSCSI ports on each controller. If you
want to expand the number of host ports, purchase host cards (optional components) will
be the fastest and most cost-efficiency choice.
There are three types of host cards that are available for selection. You can configure a Fibre
Channel SAN by using 16Gb Fibre Channel host cards; you can choose a iSCSI SAN by using
10GbE or 1GBASE-T iSCSI host cards. The table below shows the available host card type,
model name, and description.
