Features
Performance specifications
The FCA2684/FCA2684DC PCI-X host bus adapter offers a highly integrated 2
Gbps Fibre Channel HBA for use in servers based on either PCI or the latest
PCI-X expansion bus. The features of this PCI-X based HBA provide the
flexibility and broad interoperability needed for complex, highly scalable SANs.
The FCA2684/FCA2684DC also features sophisticated hardware that provides
superior performance in SANs and provides best in class server CPU off load.
This exclusive hardware delivers low latency and high throughput in switched
fabric, arbitrated loop, and clustered environments. Support for fiber optic cabling
is provided through an embedded small form factor (LC) optical interface.
The FCA2684 is a single channel HBA in a low-profile PCI compliant card
format. The FCA2684DC is a dual channel HBA. These HBAs are both ANSI
Fibre Channel and PCI Local Bus Compliant and support:
■Full duplex 2 Gbps Fibre Channel delivering up to 400MB/s
■Superior transaction processing performance
■Automatic speed negotiation
■Automatic topology detection
■Full fabric support using F_Port and FL_port connections
■Onboard hardware context cache for superior fabric performance
■Support for use of multiple concurrent protocols (SCSI and IP for OpenVMS
only)
■Full support for both FC service class 2 and 3
■Support for FC-Tape (FCP-2) devices
■66/100/133 MHz PCI-X 1.0a and PCI 2.3 compatibility
■End-to-end parity protection for high data integrity
■3.3V signaling, 5V tolerant
■Optical small form factor (LC) interface
