Adapter Features
The FCA2214/FCA2214DC HBAs are 2-Gb, high-performance Direct Memory Access (DMA) bus master host adapters designed for high-end systems. The performance is derived from the ISP2312 chips.
These HBAs have the following features:
■Combines a powerful Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) processor, a Fibre Channel protocol manager (FPM) with 2-Gb Fibre Channel transceivers, and a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) or peripheral component interconnect-extended (PCI-X) local bus interface in a single-chip solution.
■Supports Private Loop Direct Attach (PLDA) and Fabric Loop Attach (FLA) connections.
■Fast!UTIL BIOS utility to customize the configuration parameters on the adapter and attached drives.
Supports bus master DMA.
Supports Fibre Channel protocol-SCSI (FCP-SCSI), IP, and Fibre Channel-Virtual Interface (FC-VI) protocols.
Supports point-to-point fabric connection (F-PORT FABRIC LOGIN).
Complies with:
—PCI Local Bus Specification revision 2.2.
—PCI-X Addendum (revision 1.0) to the PCI Local Bus Specification.
—Third-generation Fibre Channel-Physical and Signaling Interface (FC-PH-3) standard.
—Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL-2) standard.
—U.S. and international safety and emissions standards
