Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LPC Copper Kit - Network adapter - PCI 64 - Fibre Channel

The Adaptec AFC-9210LP is a low-profile, 2 Gigabit Fiber Channel host bus adapter (HBA) providing the highest performance I/O connectivity available. The AFC-9210LP offers full duplex data transfer capabilities (up to 400 MB/sec), provides Fiber Channel class 2 and class 3 support, and allows auto speed negotiation between 1Gb and 2Gb, all in a low-profile MD2 form factor HBA. The AFC-9210LP also has a 64-bit 66MHz universal PCI interface and is fully backward compatible with 32-bit, 33MHz PCI. A truly dynamic component of any Fiber Channel SAN solution, the AFC-9210LP supports Fiber Channel Arbitrated Loop, Point-to-Point, and Switched Fabric topologies. The AFC-9210LP delivers on Adaptec`s promise of ease of use with easy configuration, quick system setup, and hot pluggable hard drives. The ability to add and remove drives on the fly allows for simple and reliable maintenance and SAN scalability. To best meet the high performance, interoperability and reliability requirements of the SAN industry, the AFC-9210LP is based on Agilent Technologies' industry leading "Tachyon" silicon, the most widely deployed Fiber Channel controller IC. This architecture enables performance to scale proportionately to the system CPU resources available and avoids bottlenecks associated with embedded processor-based HBAs. The result is minimal latency coupled with the ability to provide maximum I/O data transfer rates and bandwidth. The AFC-9210LP is the highest performance Fiber Card on the market, embracing the full potential of Fiber Channel. Adaptec recognizes the importance of rackable storage facilities and the AFC-9210LP`s low-profile design makes it ideal for rackmount, pedestal, or mixed server environments. The AFC-9210LP is sold with a low-profile bracket mounted on the HBA, but also includes a standard-height bracket for complete flexibility of deployment. The brackets are easily interchangeable and are a convenient way to support a variety of storage configurations. Like all Adaptec products, AFC-9210LP has been rigorously tested in a variety of SAN configurations with a wide range of Fiber Channel components to deliver the utmost in interoperability, performance, and reliability now and in the future.
