1. Introduction
Overview
This manual describes the Emulex ® LPe16000 and the LPe16002, 16 gigabit per second
(Gb/s) Fibre Channel (FC) to Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) host
bus adapters (HBAs).
The core technology of these HBAs is Emulex's 10th generation FC controller. The
controller is a multi-function PCIe Gen2 interface controller that is compliant to the PCI
Express Base Specification Rev 2.0 and PCI Express CEM Specification Rev 2.0. This
product is targeted at FC storage networking environments that require the highest
degrees of robustness, performance and ease of management. The LPe16000 is a
single-channel adapter. The LPe16002 is a dual-channel adapter.
The HBAs support packet transfers up to 2.5 to 5 gigatransfers per second (2.5 to 5.0 GT/s) on
the PCIe link (auto-negotiated with the system). The supported physical PCIe connector is x8.
The fully featured FC port is compliant to various American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) FC standards. The product is targeted at FC storage networking environments that
require the highest degrees of robustness, performance and ease of management.
Note: Illustrations in this manual are only examples. The actual hardware may vary.
