The Emulex® LPe1150 host bus adapter (HBA) is a single-channel, 4.25 gigabit per second (Gb/s), Fibre
Channel (FC) Peripheral Component Interconnect Expre ss (PCIe ) HBA . The cor e tec hnolo gy 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 su ppor t for x1 or x4 lane
negotiation. The supported physical PCIe connec tor is x 4 or higher ( x8 or x16 ). The ful ly feature d FC
port is compliant to various American National Standards Institute (ANSI) FC standards. The product is
targeted at FC storage networking environments that require the highes t degrees of robustnes s,
performance and ease of management.

Installing the Host Bus Adapter
To install the HBA:
1. Each HBA is shipped with a unique 64-bi t identi fier cal led the IEEE addr ess. T he FC industry
uses a World Wide Name (WWN) derived from the IEEE address, and this number is needed for
FC connectivity. The IEEE address is used when configuring your system . The ser ial n umber is
used when communicating with Emulex. A ll nu mber s are cl ear ly m arked on the boar d. We
recommend that you record these numbers befor e installation.
2. Turn off and unplug the computer.
3. Remove the computer case.
Note: For best I/O performance, pla ce the ad apt er into an empt y PC Ie x4 or hig her slot.
PCIe slots are shorter t han standa rd PCI 64 -b it slots. Do not at te mpt to pl ug the
adapter into a standard PC I slot .
