Introduction
The Emulex
®
LP11002 host bus adapter (HBA) is a dual-channel, 4-gigabit per second (Gb/s), Fibre
Channel (FC) PCI-X 2.0 HBA. The core technology of this HBA is Emulex’s seventh generation FC
controller. The controller incorporates a multi-function native PCI-X 2.0 core that is compliant to the
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) and PCI-X local bus specifications. The HBA supports burst
data transfers up to 266-megahertz MHz PCI-X Mode 2, 133 MHz PCI-X Mode 1, or 66 MHz PCI. The
two independent, fully featured FC ports are compliant to various American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) FC standards. The product is targeted at FC storage networking environments that require the
highest degrees of robustness, performance and ease of management.
Major Features
• Multi-function PCI-X device with two fully independent FC ports
• Auto-negotiation between 1-Gb, 2-Gb or 4-Gb link attachments
• High performance FC HBA with the PCI-X 2.0 to FC controller with two internal processors
• Complies with the PCI-X 2.0a and PCI 3.0 specifications for 3.3-V add-in cards
• Full support for all FC topologies including point-to-point, arbitrated loop and fabric
• Full support for FC service class 2 and 3
• Maximum FC throughput achieved via full duplex hardware support
• End-to-end data path-parity and cyclical redundancy check (CRC) protection, including internal
data path random-access memory (RAM)
• Architectural support for multiple upper layer protocols
• State-of-the-art circuitry:
• All PCI-X and FC functionality contained within a single, custom, high-density, fully inte-
grated FC controller
• Internal ARM 1136J-S processors with instruction and data cache
• Internal serializer deserializer (SerDes) 1-Gb/2-Gb/4-Gb cores
• Internal high-speed static RAM (SRAM)
• Error correcting code (ECC) protection of local memory, including single-bit correction and
double-bit protection
• The LP11002 HBA provides an embedded short wave optical (LC) connections with link
diagnostics capability.
• Host interface via Emulex standard drivers or through custom drivers written to the Emulex
Service Level Interface (SLI-2) that is compatible with the many existing Emulex drivers for
products such as LP8000, LP9002L, LP9802, LP10000 HBAs
• Comprehensive array of operating system (OS) drivers:
• Emulex standard and OEM derivatives of device drivers for Windows 2000 Server, Win-
dows Server 2003, Novell NetWare, Sun Solaris, Linux and HP-UX
• OEM-specific drivers for AIX and some other operating systems
• Some drivers support both SCSI and IP protocols
• Support for remote and fabric boot functionality
• On-board context management by the firmware (per port):
• Up to 510 FC port logins
• Up to 1023 concurrent exchanges
