SFP Properties panel

A

SFP Properties panel 

The SFP Properties panel enables you to display the properties that are associated with a selected 
small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver. 

NOTE

Brocade 804 mezzanine cards connect to the embedded switch modules or embedded interconnect 
modules on the Blade System chassis by way of an internal backplane and therefore, no optical 
modules (SFPs) are involved. With the exception of no SFPs, the Brocade 804 mezzanine FC HBA 
card functions the same as the other Brocade HBAs. 

Opening the properties panel

1. Select a port in the device tree.

2. Click the SFP tab in the right pane. 

NOTE

Only Brocade-branded SFPs are supported with the 8 Gbps FC HBA.

Baud Rate

The transmission rate, roughly equivalent to the number of bits per 
second.

Length 9u
