TM
is available in
64-Bit/66-MHz PCI. The option kit (part number 120186-B21) contains this
StorageWorks Fibre Channel Host Adapter.
64-Bit/66-MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter
The 64-Bit/66-MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter is installed in a server with a
PCI local bus and provides an interface between the PCI bus in the server and
Fibre Channel-connected external storage systems.
The 64-Bit/66-MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter interface to the server is the
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus. The PCI interface is a
high-performance, 64-Bit/66-MHz bus with multiplexed address and data
lines, and parity information. It provides a high-speed (up to 528 MB/s) path
between the system board and the Host Adapter. The 64-Bit/66-MHz Fibre
Channel Host Adapter is a PCI Bus Master device and conforms to the current
PCI Local Bus Specification.
