1. Introduction
Overview
This manual describes the following Fibre Channel (FC) to Peripheral Component
Interconnect Express (PCIe) Emulex
® host bus adapters (HBAs):

LPe15004, 8 gigabit per second (Gb/s)

LPe16000B, LPe16002B, and LPe16004, 16 Gb/s
The core technology of these HBAs is Emulex's 10th generation FC controller. The
controller is a multi-function PCIe Gen3 interface controller that is compliant to the PCI
Express Base Specification Rev 3.0 and PCI Express CEM Specification Rev 3.0. The
LPe16000B is a single-channel adapter, the LPe16002B is a dual-channel adapter, and
the LPe15004 and LPe16004 are four-channel adapters.
These HBAs support packet transfers at 2.5, 5.0, and 8 gigatransfers per second (2.5, 5.0,
and 8 GT/s) on the PCIe link (auto-negotiated with the system). The supported
physical PCIe connector is x8. The fully featured FC port is compliant to various
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) FC standards.
Note: Illustrations in this manual are only examples. The actual hardware may vary.
Major Features
