1.1 LPe35000-Series HBAs
This section describes the following FC-to-PCIe Emulex LPe35000-series HBAs:

LPe35000 (one port)

LPe35002 (two ports)

LPe35004 (four ports)
1.1.1 Major Features
All LPe35000-series HBAs have the following major features:

Trunking (also called FC port aggregation) with Brocade® switches, which provides the ability to trunk up to four
physical ports per HBA to present a single port with aggregate performance (up to 128 Gb)

Autonegotiation between 32Gb/s, 16Gb/s, or 8Gb/s FC link speeds using factory-shipped optics

Industry seventh-generation FC controller core technology

ECC protection of high-density RAM (single-bit correction, double-bit detection)

SFP+ interface supporting optics with LC connections and digital diagnostics capability (only Emulex-approved
32Gb/s SFP+ optical modules are supported)

Host interface support provided through Emulex standard drivers

Parts and construction compliant to the European Union Directive of RoHS

Fully featured FC ports compliant to various INCITS FC standards
LPe35000 HBAs and LPe35002 HBAs have the following major features:

Multifunction PCIe Gen4 interface controller that is compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification Rev 4.0
(backwards compatible with Rev 3.0) and the PCI Express CEM Specification Rev 4.0 (backwards compatible with Rev
3.0)

Packet transfers at 2.5 GT/s, 5 GT/s, 8 GT/s, and 16 GT/s on the PCIe link (autonegotiated with the system), x1 to x8
lane

An x8 bus slot physical PCIe connector
