The HP Fibre Channel Adapter installs into a standard PCI (Peripheral
Component Interconnect) slot. This adapter supports a high performance 64-bit
PCI bus (backward compatible to 32-bit) with multiplexed address and data
lines, and parity information. The PCI bus provides a high speed (up to 264/132
Megabytes/sec) path between the system board and the Fibre Channel Adapter.
The HP Fibre Channel Adapter is a PCI Bus Master device and conforms to the
PCI Local Bus Specifications version 2.1.
The D8602B Fibre Channel Adapter requires the installation of a Gigabit
Interface Converter (GBIC) module before connecting the Fibre Channel
cables. See the GBIC Overview section in Chapter 2.
