2.3.3 Electromagnetic Compliance

These boards are designed and implemented to minimize electromagnetic emissions, susceptibility, and the effects of electromagnetic discharge. The boards are tested to comply with Class B and carry markings for CE, VCCI, Canada, C-Tick, and FCC.

2.3.4 Safety Characteristics

The bare boards meet the requirements of flammability rating UL 94 V-0. The bare boards are also marked with the supplier’s name or trademark, type, and UL flammability rating. Since these boards are installed in a PCI bus slot, all voltages are below the SELV 42.4 V limit.

2.4 Operational Environment

Use the LSI Logic 2 Gbit/s Fibre Channel to PCI host adapter in PCI computer systems. The LSI Logic supplied FC BIOS and firmware operate the boards. An on-board flash memory device and a serial EEPROM are provided to allow BIOS code and open boot code support through PCI.

2.4.1 The PCI Interface

The PCI interface operates as a 64-bit DMA bus master. Edge connector J1 makes the PCI connection, which provides connections on both the front and back of the board. The signal definitions and pin numbers conform to the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2. See that specification for more details regarding the signal assignments. The on-board regulators provide power to the board’s 3.3 V devices.
Note: The PCI +3.3 V pins are tied together and decoupled with
high frequency bypass capacitors to ground. No current from these +3.3 V pins is used on the board. The board derives power from the +5 V pins, directly and through a
3.3 V voltage regulator. The PCI +3 V/+5 V pins are used to differentiate between a 5 V or a 3.3 V PCI signaling environment.

2.4.2 The FC Interface

The FC interface varies, depending on which specific LSI Logic 2 Gbit/s host adapter you have selected. See Section 2.6 for more information.

2.4.3 The FC Link Activity/Link Fault LED

The LSI Logic 2 Gbit/s optical host adapter boards provide dual-purpose LEDs (one per port), visible through the bracket, which indicate activity on the FC link. Table 2.4 shows the appearance of the Link Activity/Link Fault LED for the given link status for each of the LSI Logic optical host adapters.

2.5 IEEE Unique Address

Each LSI Logic 2 Gbit/s host adapter channel is provided with a unique World Wide Name, specified by IEEE. The last six hexadecimal characters of this address appear on a label on the board. This address is stored in the serial EEPROM on the board.

2.6 Physical Characteristics

The LSI Logic 2 Gbit/s Fibre Channel host adapters include one to four external Fibre Channel connectors, and are available with copper or optical interconnect options. No configuration of the adapter is necessary.
