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.
Major Features
• Multifunction PCIe device with two fully independent FC ports
• Auto-negotiation between 1-Gb, 2-Gb or 4-Gb link attachments
• High performance FC HBA with the PCIe to FC controller with two internal processors
• Full support for all FC topologies including point-to-point, arbitrated loop and fabric
• Full support for FC service class 2 and 3
• Maximum FC throughput achieved via full duplex hardware support
• End-to-end data path-parity and cyclical redundancy check (CRC) protection, including internal
data path random-access memory (RAM)
• Architectural support for multiple upper layer protocols
• State-of-the-art circuitry:
• All PCIe and FC functionality contained within a single, custom, high-density, fully integrated FC controller
• Internal ARM 1136J-S processors with instruction and data cache for each port
• Internal serializer deserializer (SerDes) 1-Gb/2-Gb/4-Gb cores for FC and 2.5-Gb cores
for PCIe
• Complies with the PCIe base and CEM 1.0a specifications:
• x1 or x4 lane link interface (auto-negotiated with system) at 2.5-Gb/s
• Supports VC0 (1 Virtual Channel) and TC0 (1 Traffic Class)
• Configuration /IO/ Memory read/write, completion and message
• Supports 64-bit addressing
• ECRC for all transmitted PCIe data packets
• Link CRC on all PCIe packets and message
information
• Supports large payload size- 2048 bytes for read/write
• Supports large read request size- 4096 bytes
• Internal high-speed static RAM (SRAM)
• Error correcting code (ECC) protection of local memory, including single-bit correction and
double-bit protection
• The LPe11002 HBA provides two embedded short wave optical (LC) connections with link
diagnostics capability.

• Host interface via Emulex standard drivers or through custom drivers written to the Emulex
Service Level Interface (SLI-2) that is compatible with the many existing Emulex drivers for
products such as LP8000, LP9002L, LP9802, LP10000 HBAs
• Comprehensive array of operating system (OS) drivers:
• Emulex standard and OEM derivatives of device drivers for Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, Novell NetWare, Sun Solaris, Linux and HP-UX
• OEM-specific drivers for AIX and some other operating systems
• Some drivers support both SCSI and IP protocols
• Support for remote and fabric boot functionality
• On-board context management by the firmware (per port):
• Up to 510 FC port logins
• Up to 1023 concurrent exchanges
• I/O multiplexing down to the FC frame level
• Data buffers capable of supporting 16 buffer-to-buffer (BB) credits for short-wave applications
• Link management and recovery handled by the firmware
• On-board diagnostic capability accessible via optional connection
• Parts and construction compliant to the European Union Directive of Restriction of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS)

Hardware Environments PCI-Express 1.0a compliant systems
Prerequisites
• PCI-Express 1.0a compliant systems: x1 or x4 lane transfer link interface at 2.5-Gb/s per lane
• 3.3-V power from PCIe slot is required for operation
Setting the Jumpers
Caution: Emulex LightPulse® HBAs contain electronic components that can be damaged
by static electricity through an electrostatic discharge (ESD) event. To prevent
ESD damage, maintain constant contact with any grounded metal surface. A
grounding wrist strap is useful for this purpose. Handle the card carefully at all
times and preferably by the edges. Avoid touching electronic components and
keep the card in the original packaging until you are ready for installation.
The device ID jumpers are used in custom applications. Do not change the jumper settings for a
standard Emulex installation.
LPe11002 Hardware Installation Manual Page 2
The host adapter has two six-post jumper blocks, one jumper block for each port, that control the host
adapter's device ID. The ID is selected by installing a jumper between posts 1 and 2, or 3 and 4, or 5
and 6. If no jumper is installed, the default device ID is 1AE5. Port 0 is the top transceiver, and port 1 is
the bottom transceiver.
Table 2: Jumper Settings (Port 0 and Port 1)
PCI Identifier P0_JX (Port 0) P1_JX (Port 1)
FE00 1–2 1–2
FE01 3–4 3–4
1AE5* 5–6 5–6
Note: * Without a jumper, the HBA reports a device ID of 1AE5. Most software drivers
require a PCI device ID of FE00 to properly identify and control the HBA. Do not
attempt to operate the HBA with the PCI device ID set to 1AE5 unless recommended
by the driver installation instructions.

Installing the Host Bus Adapter
To install the HBA:
1. Each HBA is shipped with a unique 64-bit identifier called the IEEE address. The FC industry
uses a World Wide Name (WWN) derived from the IEEE address, and this number is needed for
FC connectivity. Since this adapter has two ports, there are two IEEE addresses. The IEEE
address is used when configuring your system. The serial number is used when communicating
with Emulex. All numbers are clearly marked on the board. We recommend that you record
these numbers before installation.
2. Turn off and unplug the computer.
