Chapter 5. DS4000 FC2-133 Host Bus Adapter

Note: The PD maps found in the IBM TotalStorage DS4000 Problem Determination
The IBM DS4000 FC2-133 host bus adapter (single port model, FRU 24P0962) is a 2
Gbps high-performance, direct memory access (DMA), bus master, fibre channel
host adapter designed for high-end systems. The function and performance are
derived from the ISP2312/ISP2340 chips, making the IBM DS4000 FC2-133 host bus
adapter a leading-edge host adapter.
The ISP2312/ISP2340 chips combine a powerful, reduced instruction set computer
(RISC) processor, a fibre channel protocol manager (FPM) with one 2 Gbps fibre
channel transceiver, and a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) or peripheral
component interconnect-extended (PCI-X) local bus interface in a single-chip
solution. The IBM DS4000 FC2-133 host bus adapter supports all fibre channel (FC)
peripheral devices that support private-loop direct attach (PLDA) and fabric-loop
attach (FLA).
The IBM TotalStorage DS4000 Problem Determination Guide provides detailed
configuration information for advanced users who want to use IBM Fast!UTIL to
customize the configuration of the DS4000 FC2-133 host bus adapter.
