Product Description
The Sun 595-4303-05 is a specialized Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that provides dual Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) connectivity. This card is specifically designed to interface with Sun Microsystems' SBus expansion slots, which were prevalent in their SPARC-based workstations and servers. The FC-AL topology allows multiple devices to share a single Fibre Channel loop, providing a cost-effective way to connect storage devices in its time. This HBA features two Fibre Channel ports, enabling it to connect to storage networks or directly to storage devices. The 'FC100/S' designation in the title suggests compliance with a specific Fibre Channel standard, likely related to the speed and signaling used on the SBus. This card is crucial for systems that require access to storage area networks but are equipped with the older SBus architecture, ensuring continued functionality and data access for legacy hardware. The 595-4303-05 serves as a bridge between the SBus interface and the Fibre Channel storage infrastructure. It is essential for maintaining, upgrading, or integrating older Sun systems into environments that utilize Fibre Channel storage. Its dual-port capability offers a degree of redundancy or increased bandwidth for storage traffic, depending on the network configuration.
