FC23 series
(PMC form
factor) |
The two FC23 64-bit/66 MHz PCI
Mezzanine Cards (PMCs) support 400 MB/s full-duplex and 200 MB/s half-duplex
data transfer rates and automatically negotiate 1 or 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel bit
rates. FC23-PMC-1C features one copper interface via a high-speed serial data
connector (HSSDC) port. FC23-PMC-1F provides one fiber port that supports
multimode LC duplex fiber-optic cable.
Both PMCs take full advantage of industry standard Fibre Channel
features and benefits, plus incorporate value-added features such as a
streamlined protocol engine, RemoteDMA protocol, and SCSI target protocol.
Device drivers for Solaris, Linux, Windows NT and Windows 2000 are provided for
standard file system and network support.
The high-sustained throughput and low latency offered by the FC23
series are made possible by a rich feature set. The single chip engine that
includes an enhanced RISC processor, Fibre Channel protocol manager, 2-Gigabit
transceivers, and on-chip frame buffers optimizes performance. To ease
integration and simplify operation, the PMCs automatically negotiate 1- or
2-Gigabit Fibre Channel bit rates. Consequently, a FC23 card can be connected to
a FC22 card, and the FC23 PMC will automatically operate at the 1-Gigabit rate
of the FC22.
SCSI target/initiator protocol support allows a computer to function
as a SCSI target, as such it achieves maximum bandwidth for peer-to-peer
communications. The computer can concurrently be both an initiator and a target,
thus allowing full-duplex peer-to-peer communications at aggregate rates over
400 MB/s. For system flexibility, the highest bandwidth and lowest transfer
latency, RemoteDMA bypasses complex protocol stacks. Data can be moved between
one system and another workstation or single board computer (SBC) without using
any processor cycles on the remote computer.
