ARM-1156 core, integrated SERDES (Serialized/Deserializer), and integrated SRAM (static random-access memory). The core technology of this HBA is the ninth generation FC controller by Emulex. The controller incorporates a multifunction native PCIe core that is compliant to the PCIe Base Specification 2.0 and PCI Express Card Electromechanical (CEM) Specification 2.0.
Note: The HBA reports a device ID of 0x1AE5. The Emulex LPe1250 HBA uses a removable optical transceiver. If you need to change the bracket for HBA installation, you must first remove this transceiver from its housing (cage). This document explains how to install the HBA and, if necessary, how to remove the transceiver and bracket safely.
