Performance specifications
The A6826A HBA is a 2GB, high-performance Direct Memory Access (DMA) bus master host
adapter designed for high-end systems.
This HBA has the following features:
• Combines a powerful Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) processor, a Fibre Channel
protocol manager (FPM) with 2GB Fibre Channel transceivers, and a peripheral component
interconnect (PCI) or peripheral component interconnect-extended (PCI-X) local bus interface in a
single-chip solution.
• Supports Private Loop Direct Attach (PLDA) and Fabric Loop Attach (FLA) connections.
• Supports bus master DMA.
• Supports Fibre Channel protocol-SCSI (FCP-SCSI), IP, and Fibre Channel-Virtual Interface (FC-VI)
protocols.
• Supports point-to-point fabric connection (F-PORT FABRIC LOGIN).
• Complies with:
• PCI Local Bus Specification revision 2.2.
• PCI-X Addendum (revision 1.0) to the PCI Local Bus Specification.
• Third-generation Fibre Channel–Physical and Signaling Interface (FC-PH-3) standard.
• Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL-2) standard.
• U.S. and international safety and emissions standards.
