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
