host bus adapter for Windows and Linux installation guide

1–3

Introduction

•

Simultaneous full duplex 2 Gbps PCI bus speed data transfers of 400 MBps

•

Full fabric support using F_PORT and FL_Port connections

•

Full fabric boot support in x86 environments to multiple LUNs

•

FC-Tape (FC-2) devices

•

Point-to-point arbitrated-loop, and switch fabric FC connections

•

Storage protocol

•

Fibre Channel class 2 and 3

•

Automatic speed negotiation and topology detection

•

End-to-end parity protection for high data integrity

Collectively, these characteristics create a high-performance Fibre Channel HBA.

Boot BIOS Specifications

Boot BIOS is a set of x86 instructions in the Host Bus Adapter (HBA) flash ROM that
lets you designate a Fibre Channel attached drive as the boot drive. Boot BIOS works
with the existing system BIOS on Intel Pentium class PCI system boards.

Boot BIOS supports:

•

Multiple topologies: Fabric Point-to-Point and FC-AL Private Loop

•

Multiple boot compliance

•

Supports Enhanced Disk Driver Services (EDD) Version 3.0

•

A maximum of four Fibre Channel HBAs per server, depending on which
StorageWorks product you are using.

•

Up to 256 LUNs, with up to eight LUN entries per target ID

•

Detecting up to 99 devices per HBA

•

Displaying a maximum of 16 devices during the boot process
