Performance specifications
The FC1143 and FC1243 HBA s are 4Gb PCI-X 2.0 high-performance direct memory access (DMA)
bus master HBAs designed for high-end systems.
These HBAs have the following features:
• Combines a p
owerful reduced instruction set computing (RISC) processor, a Fibre Channel
protocol manager (FPM) with 4Gb Fibre Channel transceivers, and a p eripheral component
interconnect (PCI) or peripheral component interconnect-extended (PCI-X) local bus interface in
a
single-chip solution
