Performance specifications
The FC1142SR HBA and the FC1242SR DC HBA are 4 Gb/s Fibre Channel PCIe HBAs. The HBAs’
Fibre Channel controller incorporates a multifunction native PCIe core that is compliant to the PCIe
Base Specification 1.0a and PCI e CEM Specification 1.0a. The supported physical PCIe connector
is x4, x8 or x16.
These HBAs have the following performance features:
• Auto-negotiation between 1, 2, or 4Gb/s link attachments
• High-performance Fibre Channel host bus adapter
• Full support for all Fibre Channel topologies: point-to-point, arbitrated loop, and fabric
• Full support for Fibre Channel Service Class 2 and Service Class 3
• Compliance with the PCIe Base and CEM 1.0a specifications:
• x1 or x4 lane link interface (auto negotiated with system) at 2.5 Gb/s
• Support for VC0 (1 Virtual Channel) and TC0 (1 Traffic Class)
• Configuration, I/O, memory, read/write, completion, and message support
• Support for 64-bit addressing
• ECRC for all transmitted PCIe data packets
• Link CRC on all PCIe packets and message information
• Support for large payload size (2048 bytes for read/write)
• Support for large read request size (4096 bytes)
• Internal high-speed static RAM (SRAM)
• Error correcting code (ECC) protection of local memory, including single-bit correction and
double-bit protection
• Small form factor (SFF) multimode optic with LC connector
• Parts and construction compliant to the European Union Directive of Restriction of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS)
