1 ATTO Technology Inc. Celerity FC Host Adapters Installation and Operation Manual
1 ATTO provides Fibre Channel solutions
The ATTO Celerity Fibre Channel family of storage products provides connectivity, intelligence and
scalability. Celerity FC host adapters simplify advanced storage networking needs such as switching,
backup and data management. Specifically designed to enhance the functionality of third party fabric
hardware and software, Celerity FC products are the industry-leading platform for storage connectivity.
Celerity FC-41EN Adapter
The Celerity FC-41EN is a single-channel host
adapter. With 4-Gb FC speeds of up to 800 MB/sec.,
the FC-41EN supports the most demanding
application requirements.
The FC-41EN takes advantage of the latest in host
interconnect technology, PCI Express, a serial, high-
speed connection that supports aggregate throughout
up to 2 GB/sec.full-duplex. The FC-41EN is software
compatible with existing PCI and PCI-X products
using the same device drivers as other Celerity FC
family products, simplifying user installation and
support. It is backward compatible with existing 2-Gb
and 1-Gb FC infrastructures, protecting existing
technology investments.
