Q-Logic 2300 series manual Features, Compliance with the following PCI standards QCP HBAs

1 – Introduction Features

Q

interface for intermediate distances (less than 500 meters at the data rate of 1 Gbps; less than 300 meters at the data rate of 2 Gbps).

With increased connectivity and performance, Fibre Channel is the technology preferred and used by system designers.

Features

■Compliance with the following PCI standards (QCP HBAs):

❑PCI Local Bus Specification, revision 2.1

❑PCI Hot Plug Specification, revision 1.0

❑PCI Power Management Interface Specification, revision 1.0

❑PICMG 2.0 Compact PCI Specification, revision 2.1

❑CompactPCI Hot Swap Specification, revision 2.1

■Compliance with SBus Specification, IEEE std 1496-1993 (QSB HBAs)

■Compliance with the following Fibre Channel standards:

❑Second Generation Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface (FC-PH-2), revision 7.4

❑Third Generation Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface (FC-PH-3), revision 9.2

❑Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL-2), revision 5.4

❑Fibre Channel Fabric Loop Attachment (FC-FLA), revision 2.7

❑Fibre Channel Generic Services 2 (FC-GS-2), revision 5.3

❑Fibre Channel Switched Fabric (FC-SW), revision 3.3

■Compliance with U.S. and international safety and emissions standards

■Support for bus master DMA

■Supports Fibre Channel SCSI (FCP-SCSI) protocol

■Supports point-to-point fabric connection (F-PORT FABRIC LOGIN)

■Supports Fibre Channel security protocol (FC-SP) using DH-CHAP

■Supports fabric device management interface (FDMI)

Using FDMI, storage area network (SAN) administrators can view device-specific information (for example, driver version, firmware version, and model number) from a central console, regardless of the device manufacturer. This information is kept at the FC switch and viewed through the switch's management application or third party SAN management applications.
