Description

The LightPulse™ LP9002L Fibre Channel PCI host adapter provides support for 2 Gb/s fibre channel data rates, delivering the industry's highest performance. The LP9002L features automatic speed negotiation capability which allows complete compatibility with existing 1 Gb/s Fibre Channel SANs, while allowing seamless upgrades to higher speed 2 Gb/s SANs.

The LP9002L provides the flexibility and broad interoperability needed for complex highly scalable SANs. The LP9002L provides a unique 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 Fibre Channel topologies and support for service class 2 and 3.

The LP9002L also features sophisticated hardware that provides superior performance in storage area networks, delivering low latency and high throughput in switched, arbitrated loop and clustered environments. Support for fiber optic cabling is provided through a small form factor (LC) optical embedded interface.

Driver Support

The LP9002L is complemented by a rich suite of software support including storage protocol (SCSI), network protocol (IP) as well as concurrent multi-protocol (SCSI & IP) operation, enabling advanced storage area network (SAN) implementations in Windows 2000, Windows NT, HP-UX, Linux, NetWare, Solaris and AIX environments. All drivers are also fully compatible with the Emulex LP9000, LP8000, LP7000E, LP952L and LP850 host bus adapters.
