LENOVO 95Y2386 – Flex System FC5052 2-port 16Gb FC Adapter

Lenovo 95Y2386. Internal. Connectivity technology: Wired, Host interface: PCI Express, Interface: Fiber. Maximum data transfer rate: 16000 Mbit/s. Product colour: Black,GreenThe Emulex 16Gb Fibre Channel Adapter family for Lenovo Flex System enables the highest FC speed access for Flex System compute nodes to an external storage area network (SAN). These adapters are based on the proven Emulex Fibre Channel stack, and work with 16 Gb Flex System Fibre Channel switch modules.As the only 4-port HBAs for Flex System and ThinkSystem respectively, the FC5054 and LPm16004B-L provide unmatched scalability and redundancy. In addition, these two 4-port adapters have two separate ASICs with no bridge chip, so data flows directly to an independent PCIe bus for high availability without a single point of failure.- 2-port 16 Gb Fibre Channel adapter- Single-ASIC controller using the Emulex XE201 design- Auto-Negotiate to 16Gb, 8Gb, or 4Gb- Up to 1.2 million IOPS on a single port (six times more IOPS than previous generation 8Gb FC HBAs)- Cuts response times by up to 75% and doubles the throughput compared to the previous generation 8Gb FC HBAs- Exceeds 10 million hours mean time between failure (MTBF) with the most advanced data integrity protection (T10 PI) offload to protect against silent data corruption- PCIe Express 3.0 x8 host interface (5 GTps)- MSI-X support- x86 Fibre Channel common driver model with other Emulex adapters- Arbitrated loop (supported on 4Gb and 8Gb speeds only)- The FC5054 and LPm16004B-L four-port 16Gb FC adapters have these features:- 4-port 16 Gb Fibre Channel adapter- Dual-ASIC controller using the Emulex XE201 design- Up to 2.4 million IOPS (dual ASICs: 2x 1.2 million IOPS)- Two PCIe Express 3.0 x8 host interfaces (each 5 GTps), one for each ASIC- ASICs treated as separate devices by the driver: No shared resources (that is, no PCIe bridge) between ASICs and each ASIC has its own firmware chip- x86 Fibre Channel common driver model other Emulex adapters- All four adapters offer the following Fibre Channel features:- Fibre Channel protocol SCSI (FCP-SCSI) and Fibre Channel Internet Protocol (FCP-IP)- Point-to-point fabric connection: F-Port Fabric Login- Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) and FCAL-2 FL-Port Login- Fibre Channel services class 2 and 3- LUN Masking, an initiator-based LUN masking for storage traffic isolation- N_Port Id Virtualization (NPIV) allows multiple host initiator N_Ports to share a single physical N_Port, dramatically reducing SAN hardware requirements- FCP SCSI initiator and target operation- Full-duplex operation
