Fibre Channel Link Speeds
For Fibre Channel, the link speed can be set to the highest rate supported by the blade containing
the ports, or a supported lower rate. Available rates for Xgig Fibre Channel are 1.0625 Gbps,
2.1250 Gbps, 4.2500 Gbps, or 8.5000 Gbps. For example, the Xgig 2 Gigabit Multi-Function
blade ports can be set to 1.0625 Gbps or 2.1250 Gbps; however, higher rates are not supported.
The Xgig 8 Gigabit Fibre Channel blade fully supports 2.1250 Gbps, 4.2500 Gbps, or 8.5000 Gbps
rates when equipped with SFP+ optical transceivers that support the 8.5000 Gbps rate. However,
the 1.0625 Gbps rate does not work to specification when using the same SFP+ transceiver. To
support a 1.0625 Gbps link speed on this blade, use SFPs that support a maximum rate of 4.2500
Gbps.
The Xgig5000 16G FC blade supports a link speed of 4.2500, 8.5000, or 14.0250 Gbps.
