Product Description
The HBA has the following characteristics:
■
Small form factor (SFF) interface and Lucent Connector (LC) Fibre
connector.
■
Embedded optical short-wave laser, multi-mode Fibre Channel interface.
■
Designed using a single custom Application Specific Integrated Circuit
(ASIC). The custom ASIC implements a very high performance, multi-class,
multi-protocol Fibre Channel host adapter with a 64-bit PCI-X bus
connection.
