Emulex LP9002S-F2 LightPulse 1-Port Fibre Channel 2Gb/s PCI-X Host Bus Adapter

Product Description

The Emulex LP9002S-F2, part of the LightPulse family, is a single-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed for reliable connectivity to storage area networks (SANs). This adapter operates at a speed of 2Gb/s, providing sufficient bandwidth for many enterprise storage applications of its era. Its single-port design makes it suitable for environments where dedicated SAN connectivity is required without the need for dual-port redundancy. The LP9002S-F2 utilizes a PCI-X interface for connection to the server. PCI-X (Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended) was a common interface for high-performance peripherals in servers and workstations before the widespread adoption of PCI Express, offering higher bandwidth than standard PCI. This HBA is built to deliver stable and efficient Fibre Channel connectivity, supporting essential SAN protocols and features. It is a suitable choice for older server systems or specific applications that require 2Gb/s Fibre Channel connectivity and utilize PCI-X slots, ensuring compatibility and performance for legacy storage infrastructure.
