Introduction
The Emulex® LPe11002 host bus adapter (HBA) is a dual-channel, 4.25 gigabit per second (Gb/s), Fibre Channel (FC) Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) HBA. The core technology of this HBA is Emulex’s eighth generation FC controller. The controller incorporates a multifunction native PCIe core that is compliant to the PCIe Base Specification 1.0a and PCI Express CEM Specification 1.0a. The HBA supports packet transfers up to 2048 bytes on the PCIe link with support for x1 or x4 lane negotiation. The supported physical PCIe connector is x4 or higher (x8 or x16). 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.
