Description
The Emulex LPE12002-X8 is a high-performance Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to facilitate connectivity between servers and Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). Featuring two ports, each capable of operating at 2.12Gb/s (also known as 2GFC), this adapter provides robust and redundant access to enterprise-grade storage systems. The dual-port design is crucial for high availability, allowing a server to maintain connectivity even if one port or its associated cabling fails. This HBA utilizes the PCI-X interface, which was a common high-speed expansion bus standard for servers during its era, offering significantly more bandwidth than standard PCI. This makes the LPE12002-X8 suitable for servers equipped with PCI-X slots that require high-throughput access to storage. Emulex's LightPulse technology is integrated into the adapter, providing advanced features for performance management, diagnostics, and reliability within the SAN environment. In essence, the LPE12002-X8 acts as a bridge, translating the server's internal data requests into Fibre Channel protocol for transmission over the SAN and vice versa. It is a critical component for any server environment that relies on a SAN for its primary storage, ensuring fast, reliable, and redundant access to data.
