The LP9802DC-E Dual Channel PCI-X host bus adapter offers two independent 2Gbps Fibre Channel HBA interfaces in a single PCI-X slot. It delivers exceptional performance through the use of two Emulex Pegasus ASICs, two 266MIPS onboard processors and high speed memory. The LP9802DC-E features automatic topology detection and automatic speed negotiation, which allows complete compatibility with existing 1Gbps Fibre Channel SANs, while allowing seamless upgrades to higher speed 2Gbps SANs.
The LP9802DC-E provides the functionality of two of Emulex's high performance PCI-X 133 MHz HBAs integrated onto one board, which provides bus compatibility with PCI-X or PCI 2.2 based systems. This provides the flexibility and broad interoperability needed for complex, highly scalable SANs. The LP9802DC-E provides a combination of features, including 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 classes 2 and 3, in a dual channel HBA.
