Chapter 1. Hardware overview The IBM FAStT Host Adapter is a high-performance, direct memory access (DMA), bus-master, host adapter designed for high-end systems. The function and performance are derived from the ISP2200A chip, making this FAStT Host Adapter a leading-edge host adapter. The ISP2200A chip combines a powerful RISC processor, a Fibre Channel protocol manager (FPM) with gigabit transceivers, and a 64-bit peripheral component interconnect (PCI) local bus interface in a single-chip solution.
32 bit or 64 bit, 66 or 33 MHz operation Simultaneous mixed-peripheral configurations and startable device support for Fibre Channel devices that meet the following standards: – Fibre Channel — Private Loop Direct Attach Technical Report (FC-PLDA) revision 1.10, 17 February 1997 – Fibre Channel — Fabric Loop Attachment Technical Report (FC-FLA) revision 2.
Chapter 2. Installing the adapter This chapter contains instructions for preparing and installing the IBM FAStT Host Adapter. Preinstallation procedures Before you begin Read “Handling static-sensitive devices.” Read “What you need for the installation.” Handling static-sensitive devices Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective package until you are ready to install them.
Adapter layouts The following figure identifies the adapter components referred to in this chapter. J1 ISP2200 Installing the IBM FAStT Host Adapter Before you begin the installation, write down the serial number of the IBM FAStT Host Adapter.
