The LP9802 PCI-X host bus adapter offers a 
highly integrated 2Gbs Fibre Channel HBA for use 
in servers based on either PCI or the latest PCI-X 
expansion bus. The LP9802 delivers exceptional 
performance through the use of an Emulex Pegasus 
ASIC, a 266MIPs onboard processor, an embedded 
1Gig/2Gig SERDES, and a high performance 
unified QDR SRAM. The LP9802 features automatic 
topology detection and automatic topology detection 
and automatic speed negotiation capability. These 
capabilities allow complete compatibility with 
existing 1Gb/s Fibre Channel SANs, while allowing 
seamless upgrades to higher speed 2Gb/s SANs.
The features of this PCI-X based HBA provide 
the flexibility and broad interoperability needed 
for complex, highly scalable SANs. The LP9802 
provides a combination of features, including fabric 
support using F_Port and FL_Port connections, full-
duplex data transfers, high data integrity features, 
support for all Fibre Channel topologies, and 
support for service classes 2 and 3.
The LP9802 also features sophisticated hardware 
that provides superior performance in SANs and 
provides best in class server CPU offload. This 
exclusive hardware delivers low latency and high 
throughput in fabric, arbitrated loop and clustered 
environments. Support for fiber optic cabling is 
provided through an embedded small form factor 
(LC) optical interface.
