Oracle Sun Storage 16 Gb Fibre Channel PCIe Universal Host Bus Adapter 7101674 7023303 QLogic QLE8362-ORL

Oracle's Sun Storage 16 Gb Fibre Channel (FC) PCIe Universal host bus adapter (HBA) (part number 7101674) is a standalone, PCIe low-profile universal HBA that uses Marvell, formerly QLogic, technology. The HBA is considered universal because it is a configurable board that enables you to change its operating protocol mode from a two-port 16 Gb FC HBA to a two-port 10 GbE Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Converged Network Adapter. The universal HBA has four possible configurations:

• 10 GbE FCoE Copper — This configuration provides twin-ax copper cable connectivity and 10 GbE FCoE HBA functionality. No optical transceiver modules are installed in, nor provided with, this configuration of the universal HBA.
  
• 16 Gb FC SW (shortwave) Optical — This configuration requires installing 16 Gb FC shortwave optical transceiver modules in the SFP+ connector of the universal HBA, enabling 16 Gb Fibre Channel HBA functionality.
  
• 10 GbE FCoE SR (short-range) Optical — This configuration requires installing 10 GbE short-range optical transceiver modules in the SFP+ connectors of the universal HBA, enabling 10 GbE FCoE Converged Network Adapter functionality.
  
• 16 Gb FC LW (longwave) Optical —This configuration requires installing 16Gb FC long-range optical transceiver modules in the SFP+ connectors of the universal HBA, enabling 16 Gb FC HBA functionality.
