CHAPTER

1

Product Overview

This chapter provides a basic overview of the Sun StorageTek Enterprise PCI-X 4 Gb

FC Single and Dual Port Emulex HBAs (henceforth referred to as single and dual port

HBAs). It contains the following topics:

■ “Single and Dual Port HBA Features” on page 2

■ “Minimum System Hardware Requirements” on page 3

2 Sun StorageTek Enterprise PCI-X 4 Gb FC Single & Dual Port Emulex HBA Installation & Interop Guide • January 2007

Single and Dual Port HBA Features

The single and dual port HBAs consist of a single-slot PCI-X 2.0 bus expansion

board that interfaces a 64-bit PCI bus to one or two Fibre Channel (FC) optical media

busses. The single and dual port HBAs support 32-bit and 64-bit PCI transfers as a

master bus during direct memory access (DMA) transfers and 16-bit transfers as a

slave during parallel input/output (PIO) operations, as well as PCI-X 1.0 and 2.0

transactions. The channels of the single and dual port HBAs can act as either

initiators or targets. In the dual-port HBA, the two channels operate independently

and each supports a separate bus that operates at 4.25 Gbits per second. The single

and dual port HBAs are also backward compatible with 2.125-Gbit-per-second and

1.0625-Gbit-per-second busses.

One or two Small Form Factor (SFF) optical transceivers are used to connect to the

external FC busses. One Helios FC Controller chip is used to support one or two

independent FC busses.

See

TABLE 1-1 for a list of the single and dual port HBA features.
