Dell Emulex 2Gb Fibre Channel Card 8W916

Dell Emulex LP982-E, 2Gb 64Bit 133Mhz Fibre Channel to PCI-X Host Bus Adapter Card, Dell part number 8W916.
The LP982 PCI-X host bus adapter offers a highly integrated 2Gb/s Fiber Channel HBA for use in servers based on either PCI or the latest PCI-X expansion bus. The LP982 delivers exceptional performance through the use of an Emulex Pegasus ASIC, a 266MIPs onboard processor, an embedded 1 Gig / 2 Gig SERDES, and a high performance unified QDR SRAM. The LP982 features automatic topology detection and automatic speed negotiation capability. These capabilities allow complete compatibility with existing 1Gb/s Fiber Channel SANs, while allowing seamless upgrades to higher speed 2 Gb/s SANs. The features of this PCI-X based HBA provide the flexibility and broad interoperability needed for complex, highly scalable SANs. The LP982 provides a combination of features, including switched fabric support using F Port and FL Port connections, full-duplex data transfers, high data integrity features, support for all Fiber Channel topologies, and support for service classes 2 and 3. The LP982 also features sophisticated hardware that provides superior performance in SANs and provides best in class server CPU offload. This exclusive hardware delivers low latency and high throughput in switched fabric, arbitrated loop and clustered environments. Support for fiber optic cabling is provided through an embedded small form factor (LC) optical interface.
