A Fibre Channel PCI Express card is required to connect Xserve RAID to a Power Mac G5, Mac Pro or Xserve (Intel-based) with a PCI Express bus. A user installable kit is available and contains a Dual Channel 2Gb Fibre Channel PCI Express Host Bus Adapter plus two 2.9-meter Copper Fibre Channel SFP to SFP (small form factor pluggable) interconnect cables. The Fibre Channel PCI Express card is installed in your computer and the cables are used to connect to the SFP port on Xserve RAID with SFP connectors. This card runs at full bandwidth in a four-lane or eight-lane PCI Express slot.

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:
