8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel Interface Module (Eight Ports)
Function
An 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel interface module (eight ports) provides two ports and can be converted to eight 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel ports through dedicated fiber cables. If the port speed is auto-negotiable, the port will auto-negotiate 2 Gbit/s, 4 Gbit/s, or 8 Gbit/s. If the port speed is manually set but inconsistent with the data transfer speed of the connected application server, the connection will be interrupted.
