A quad-channel card is ideal if your computer is slot-constrained or if you want to connect two Xserve RAIDs to a single host computer without the expense or complexity of connecting through a Fibre Channel switch. Some hosts can utilize two quad-channel cards and support up to four Xserve RAIDs.
SFP connectors on the card allow use of copper or optical cabling and provide the capability of directly connecting to Xserve RAID or Fibre Channel switches over long distances up to 500m.
The Apple Fibre Channel PCI Express card offers leading performance and compatibility with Mac OS X and Xserve RAID.
NOTE:
- Installation of an Apple Fibre Channel PCI Express card in a Mac Pro reclassifies these systems as FCC Class A devices.
- Optical connection requires SFP transceivers and optical cables.
- This card is not compatible with PCI or PCI-X based systems; purchase Apple Fibre Channel PCI-X card kit (part number M9274G/C).
System Requirements:
Software: The Apple Fibre Channel 4Gb PCI Express card requires Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server v10.4.8 or later.
Hardware: Mac Pro and Xserve (Intel-based) with a PCI Express bus (not PCI or PCI-X).
