Performance Specifications
The AB232A HBA offers a highly integrated 2 Gbps Fibre Channel HBA for use
in Itanium servers based on the latest PCI-X expansion bus. The features of the
AB232A HBA provides the flexibility and broad interoperability needed for
complex, highly scalable SANs.
The AB232A HBA also features sophisticated hardware that provides superior
performance in SANs and provides best in class server CPU offload. This
exclusive hardware delivers low latency and high throughput in switched fabric,
arbitrated loop, and clustered environments. Support for fiber optic cabling is
provided through an embedded small form factor (LC) optical interface.
The AB232A HBA is both ANSI Fibre Channel and PCI Local Bus Compliant
and supports:
■
Full duplex 2 Gbps Fibre Channel that provides data transfers of up to 400
MBps.
■
Full fabric boot support 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.
