LPe12000, LPe12002 and LPe12004 Hardware Installation Manual Page 1

Introduction

This manual describes the Emulex

LPe12000, LPe12002 and LPe12004, 8 gigabit per second (Gb/s)

Fibre Channel (FC) to Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) host bus adapters (HBAs).

They feature a revolutionary design with integrated ARM-1156 cores, integrated SERDES, integrated

SRAM, and external Double-Data Rate (DDRII SRAM) memory structure. The LPe12000 is a single-

channel adapter. The

LPe12002 is a dual-channel adapter.The LPe12004 is a four-channel adapter.

The core technology of these HBAs is the ninth generation FC controller by Emulex. The controller

incorporates a multifunction native PCIe core that is compliant to the PCIe Base Specification 2.0 and

PCI Express CEM Specification 2.0. The HBAs support packet transfers up to 5 gigatransfers per

second (5.0 GT/s) on the PCIe link. The supported physical PCIe connector is x4 or x8. The fully

featured FC port is compliant to various American National Standards Institute (ANSI) FC standards.

The product is targeted at FC storage networking environments that require the highest degrees of

robustness, performance and ease of management.

Major Features

• Multifunction PCIe 2.0 device with one (LPe12000), two (LPe12002) or four (LPe12004)

independent FC ports

• Auto-negotiation between 2-Gb/s, 4-Gb/s or 8-Gb/s FC link attachments

• Complies with the PCIe base and CEM 2.0 specifications:

• Built-in temperature sensor

Compatibility

Prerequisites

• PCIe 2.0 compliant systems: x4 or x8 lane transfer link interface

• 3.3 V and 12 V power from PCIe slot required for operation

Note: Illustrations in this manual are only examples. The actual hardware may vary.
