Description
The Sun 540-2989-05-N is a high-performance dual-port Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) adapter card engineered specifically for Sun Microsystems servers that utilize the SBUS architecture. This adapter provides two Gigabit Fibre Channel interfaces, each capable of operating at FC100 speeds, which translates to a data transfer rate of 1.0625 Gigabits per second per port. The inclusion of two GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) slots allows for flexible configuration with various optical transceivers, although the product description specifies support for FC100/S, indicating a particular type of transceiver is intended or included. This card is crucial for establishing high-speed connectivity to Storage Area Networks (SANs), enabling efficient data access and management for demanding enterprise applications. Its design is optimized for integration within Sun's proprietary SBUS (Scalable Bus) environment, ensuring compatibility and performance with compatible Sun server platforms. The specific mention of P12B20C1 and P15B20-9C suggests these are specific backplane or system configurations for which this adapter is validated. By offering dual-port FC-AL connectivity, the 540-2989-05-N enhances redundancy and throughput for storage traffic. This is vital for mission-critical environments where data availability and performance are paramount. The adapter facilitates direct connections to Fibre Channel switches or storage arrays, forming the backbone of a robust and scalable storage infrastructure for Sun-based data centers.
