Performance speciﬁcations

The PCI-X 2.0 4Gb FC adapters are 4-Gb, high-performance direct memory access (DMA) bus master

HBAs designed for high-end systems.

These HBAs have the following features:

• Combine apowerful reduced instruction set computing (RISC) processor, aFibre Channel protocol

manager (FPM) with 4Gb Fibre Channel transceivers, and aperipheral component interconnect

(PCI) or peripheral component interconnect-extended (PCI-X) local bus interface in asingle-chip

solution

• Support Fabric Loop Attach (FLA) connections

• Support bus master DMA

• Supports SCSI-3 Fibre Channel Protocol (SCSI-FCP), and Fibre Channel-Virtual Interface (FC-VI)

protocols

• Support point-to-point fabric connection (F-PORT FABRIC LOGIN)

• Comply with:

•PCILoca
