5749-8204 - IBM i Model E8A 4Gbps Fibre Channel (2-Port)

Brand: IBM AS400 iSeries
Model Number: 5749-8204

IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#5749) 4Gbps Fibre Channel (2-Port)

The 4 Gigabit Dual-Port Fibre Channel PCI-X 2.0 DDR Adapter is a 64-bit address/data, short form factor PCI-X adapter with an LC type external fiber connector that provides single or dual initiator capability over an optical fiber link or loop. With the use of appropriate optical fiber cabling, this adapter provides the capability for a network of high-speed local and remote located storage. The adapter will auto-negotiate for the highest data rate between adapter and an attaching device at 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, or 4 Gbps of which the device or switch is capable. Distances of up to 500 meters running at 1 Gbps data rate, up to 300 meters running at 2 Gbps data rate, and 4 Gbps data rate up to 150 meters are supported between the adapter and an attaching device or switch. When used with IBM Fibre Channel storage switches supporting long-wave optics, distances up to 10 kilometers are capable running at either 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, or 4 Gbps data rates.

The adapter can be used to attach devices either directly, or by means of Fibre Channel Switches. If attaching a device or switch with a SC type fiber connector(s), use of an LC-SC 50 Micron Fiber Converter Cable IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#2456) or a LC-SC 62.5 Micron Fiber Converter Cable IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#2459) is required.

Refer to the following IBM storage subsystem Web page for additional supported server attachment information for IBM devices.
