FC Compatibility
Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling (FC-PH, FC-PH2/3)
Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL, FC-AL-2). Note: Fibre Channel arbitrated loop is not supported at data rates of 16Gb/s or faster. Instead, use point-to-point mode. However, if you manually change the HBA to the 8Gb/s or lower data rate, Fibre Channel arbitrated loop is supported.
Fibre Channel Framing and Signaling (FC-FS-4)
Fibre Channel Link Services (FC-LS-2), including NPIV
Fibre Channel Physical Interface (FC-PI, FC-PI-4, FC-PI-5, PC-PI6)
Fibre Channel Tape and Medium Changers (FC-Tape)
Fibre Channel Protocol for SCSI, (FCP-4-SCSI)
Fibre Channel Switch Fabric (FC-SW-4)
FMA support
T-10 DIFF or T10-PI support
LED indicators: Three LEDs per port (green) on the front panel, as status indicators
Maximum power consumption: 11.5 Watts
