Performance speciﬁcations

The HBAs are 4 Gb/s Fibre Channel PCIe HBAs. The HBAs’ Fibre Channel controller incorporates a

multifunctionnativePCIecorethat iscomplianttothe PCIe Base Speciﬁcation 1.0a and PCI e CEM

Speciﬁcatio

n 1.0a. The supported physical PCIe connector is x4, x8 or x16.

These HBAs have the following performance features:

• Auto-negotiation between 1Gb, 2Gb, or 4 Gb link attachments

• High-perfor

mance Fibre Channel host bus adapter

• Full support for all Fibre Channel topologies: point-to-point, arbitrated loop, and fabric

• Full support for Fibre Channel Service Class 2 and Service Class 3

• Compliance

with thePCIeBaseand CEM1.0aspeciﬁcations:

• x1 or x4 lane link interface (auto negotiated with system) at 2.5 Gb/s

• Support for VC0 (1 Virtual Channel) and TC0 (1 TrafﬁcClass)

•Conﬁgurat

ion, IO, memory, read/write, completion, and message support

• Support for 64-bit addressing

• ECRC for all transmitted PCIe data packets

•Link CRC o

n all PCIe packets and message information

• Support for large payload size (2048 bytes for read/write)

• Support for large read request size (4096 bytes)

• Internal

high-speed static RAM (SRAM)

• Error correcting code (ECC) protection of local memory, including single-bit correction and

double-bit protection

• Small fo

rm factor (SFF) multimode optic with LC connector

• Parts and construction compliant to the European Union Directive of Restriction of Hazardous

Substances (RoHS)
