require a more robust mechanical form factor than desktop PCI. CompactPCI is electrically compatible with the PCI Specification, allowing low cost PCI components to be utilized in a mechanical form factor suited for more rugged environments. The LSI7202CP fully supports Hot Swap as defined in theCompactPCI Hot Swap Specification, Revision 1.0.

2.2.1.2 PCI Interface

The PCI functionality for the LSI7202CP is contained within the LSIFC929 Dual Channel Fibre Channel I/O Controller. This controller connects directly to the PCI bus and generates timing and protocol in compliance with PCI specifications. This interface provides a high-speed, standard local bus to the processor and memory subsystems in your computer.

2.2.1.3 Fibre Channel Interface

The Fibre Channel interface for the LSI7202CP is also contained within the LSIFC929 Dual Channel Fibre Channel I/O Controller. The LSIFC929 controller provides a direct interface to Fibre Channel. This controller generates timing and protocol in compliance with the Fibre Channel standard.
