Hardware Requirements of Optical Fibre Channel PCI Adapters
Optical Fibre Channel PCI adapters are optional.
Table 3-2
lists the maximum number
of optical Fibre Channel PCI adapters in each system.
You can install full-height PCI adapters only in slot 2 or slot 3. (To provide the
necessary slots in an Express5800/320Ma 3.2 GHz system, you must install the AK533
attachment kit. See the Express5800/320Ma: Operation and Maintenance Guide for
more information.)
Connect two, paired, optical Fibre Channel PCI adapters from each system to a
storage array (for U526 PCI adapters) or to a SAN or switch (for U525 PCI adapters).
Paired PCI adapters occupy paired slots in different enclosures. For example, PCI slots
10/1 and 11/1 are paired slots.
