HBA Features and Specifications

The StorageTek Dual 8 Gb FC Dual GbE HBA (SG-XPCIEFCGBE-E8-Z, SG-PCIEFCGBE-

E8-Z, SG-XPCIEFCGBE-E8-N, SG-PCIEFCGBE-E8-N, and 7105393) consists of a single-

wide, ExpressModule bus expansion board. The board interfaces an eight-lane PCI-Express

bus, with four lanes supporting two Fibre Channel (FC) optical media ports and four lanes

supporting two UTP (copper) Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports. The two independent FC ports

operate at 8 Gbit/second and feature 8/4/2 Gbit/second autonegotiation.
