Fibre channel module
The fibre channel module (optional) is an intelligent, high-performance adapter with a
Qlogic ISP2322 FC controller, designed for high-end server systems like this one. It
combines a RISC processor with two 2 Gbps transceivers, a 64-bit, 133 MHz PCI-X interface,
and a Fibre Channel Protocol Manager (FPM). Both Private Loop Direct Attach (PLDA) and
Fabric Loop Attach (FLA) devices are fully supported by the module, which operates at
either 1 Gbps (500 meter cables or less) or 2 Gbps (300 meter cables or less). For
specifications on this card, see “Fibre channel card specifications” on page 229.
