Overview

The Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP is a reliable, high-performance

serial I/O storage interface for servers. The serial nature of Fibre

Channel brings the flexibility and ease of Local Area Network

(LAN) connectivity to storage attachment, introducing the idea of

Storage Area Networks (SAN). Fibre Channel simplifies the physical

configuration issues related to the I/O channel. Peripherals may be

positioned at considerable distances from the server (depending on

cabling media) for convenience or for data security. More reliable in

data transfer than conventional LAN, Fibre Channel offers 2 gigabit

performance and greater device connectivity than parallel SCSI. The

Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP provides the I/O channel scalability

required for continuous growth in storage capacity and availability

needs.

Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP User’s Reference

The Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP is a PCI-to-Fibre Channel controller

card that provides a 2 gigabit serial interface between a server and a

Fibre Channel storage system. The cabling between the storage

system and the interface card can be either fiber optic or copper.

Features

The Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP features an optical (AFC-9210LP) or

copper (AFC-9210LPC) external connector interface. The optical

interface requires the installation of a Small Form Factor Pluggable

(SFP) module before connecting the Fibre Channel cables. The SFP is

connected to an SFP receptacle on the adapter. See SFP Overview on

page 8.

The copper connector interface uses the High Speed Serial Data

Connector (HSSDC). For a list of cable assemblies, see Fibre Channel

Cable Assemblies on page 18.

The Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP supports Point-to-Point, Arbitrated

Loop, and Fabric topologies, Class 2 and Class 3 services, and

hardware assists for the SCSI FCP protocol.

The Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP installs into a standard PCI

(Peripheral Component Interconnect) slot. This adapter supports a

high-performance 64-bit and 66 MHz PCI bus (backward compatible

with 32-bit and 33 MHz). The PCI bus provides a high-speed (up to

528 MBps) path between the system board and the Fibre Channel

Adapter. The Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP is a PCI Bus Master device

and requires a PCI Bus Mastering slot that conforms to the PCI Local

Bus Specifications, version 2.2 or previous versions.

The Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP provides flexibility to place Fibre

Channel in full size or lower profile servers by coming with both

low profile and standard height brackets.

page 18.

Installing the Hardware

Before installing the Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP into your server or

workstation, make sure that the system is powered down. If your

system supports hot plug PCI, see PCI Hot Plug Support on page 11.

For information on installing the device drivers for your Operating

System, see the Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP Installation Guide.

Installing the Adapter in the PCI Slot

Install the Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP in any Bus Mastering PCI

slot. The following generalized installation steps pertain to most PCI

installations. Most system chassis are either vertical or horizontal

orientated; therefore, you should install your card depending on the

orientation of your system. See Figure 3 on page 7. Consult your

server or workstation manual for PCI card installation.

1Turn OFF power to your system.

2Discharge any static electricity build-up before handling the

Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP by touching a grounded metal

object (such as the exposed metal parts on the back of your

computer).

3Remove the cover from your computer.

4Locate an empty 64-bit PCI expansion slot in your system. If

the computer does not have a 64-bit slot, you can install the

card in a 32-bit PCI slot.

5Remove the expansion slot cover. (Save the slot cover screw.)

6Insert the Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP into the slot until it is

firmly and evenly seated in the PCI connector.
