Emulex Lightpulse LP9002DC-EMC

Emulex Lightpulse LP9002DC-EMC ... the use of two Emulex Centaur ASICs, two 266MIPS onboard processors, high speed buffer memory and a high performance 64 bit 66 MHz PCI bridge. The LP9002DC features automatic speed negotiation capability that allows complete compatibility with existing 1 Gb/s Fiber Channel SANs, while allowing seamless upgrades to higher speed 2 Gb/s SANs.

The LP9002DC architecture is based on two of Emulex's high performance 2Gb/s HBAs integrated into one board with a PCI bridge to provide bus compatibility with PCI 2.2 based systems. This provides the flexibility and broad interoperability needed for complex, highly scalable SANs. The LP9002DC provides a combination of features, including switched fabric support using F Port and FL Port connections, full-duplex data transfers, high data integrity features, support for all Fiber Channel topologies and support for service classes 2 and 3, in a dual channel HBA.

The LP9002DC also features sophisticated hardware that provides superior performance in SANs, delivering low latency and high throughput in switched fabric, arbitrated loop and clustered environments. Support for fiber optic cabling is provided through embedded small form factor (LC) optical interfaces.
