The Sun 501-5656 SunSwift storage/network adapter is designed to enhance both data storage and network connectivity for servers or workstations. This adapter provides support for Ultra Wide SCSI as well as network functionality, allowing seamless integration with various Sun Microsystems systems. The card fits into a PCI slot, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Sun systems that utilise PCI technology, making it a versatile solution for those requiring improved access to storage and network connections.
One of the key features of the Sun 501-5656 is its Ultra Wide SCSI interface. With transfer rates of up to 40 MB/s, this interface allows for fast, efficient data transfer between the server and connected SCSI devices, enhancing overall system performance. This level of performance is ideal for systems managing high data loads or operating in environments that demand reliability and speed from storage devices.
In addition to the SCSI functionality, the SunSwift adapter also provides standard network connectivity, making it a dual-function card. The integrated network adapter supports 10/100 Ethernet connections, ensuring reliable and fairly fast networking within office environments. With support for popular networking protocols, this card adds further versatility in connecting to LAN infrastructures, without requiring an additional network adapter card, thus saving valuable PCI slots.
The physical configuration of the adapter features a standard PCI form factor, which means it can be easily installed in systems with open PCI card slots. The adapter is compatible with a range of Sun Microsystems systems and typically includes necessary drivers for key versions of Solaris, making setup and integration straightforward.
