Fabric Adapters
The Brocade 1860 stand-up Fabric Adapter is a low-profile MD2 form factor PCI Express (PCIe) card
that installs in standard host computer systems.
Figure 2 illustrates major components of the
dual-port Brocade 1860 Fabric Adapter. Brocade 1860 single or dual-port adapter models can ship
with the following configurations of small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers:
•
Single-port model - 16 Gbps Fibre Channel SFP+, 10GbE SFP+, or without optics.
•
Dual-port model - Two 16 Gbps Fibre Channel SFP+, two 10GbE SFP+, or without optics.
Although adapters may ship with specific optics (or no optics) installed, you can replace with
compatible optics, such as 8 Gbps FC SFPs, long-wave SFPs, and SFP+ direct-attach copper cables.
Refer to
“Hardware compatibility” on page 4 for more information.
Please note that the following illustration is representative and may have minor physical
differences from the card that you purchased.
