Before starting, look through the following task list to get an overall idea of the steps you will be performing. If you are not confident you can perform the tasks as described here, LSI Logic recommends getting assistance. Each FC host adapter channel that you install can act as host for up to 126 Arbitrated Loop FC devices, not including the adapter itself. - Page 14 64-bit PCI slot.

Page 43: Firmware Installation Procedure
Section 3.4, “Configuring the Firmware,” page 3-4 Section 3.5, “Troubleshooting,” page 3-7 3.1 Introduction The LSI Logic Fibre Channel chips and host adapters contain firmware that presents a multi-protocol service layer based on the LSI Logic Fusion-MPT architecture. The Fibre Channel firmware provides FCP (SCSI-3 over Fibre Channel) Initiator, FCP Target, and LAN interface services to the host system. -
Page 44: Features
3.2.1 Features The Fibre Channel firmware for the LSI Logic Fibre Channel chips supports these features: 1 Gbit/s and 2 Gbit/s Fibre Channel transfers, with Auto Negotiation (user selects 1 Gbit/s, 2 Gbit/s, or Auto) 32-bit and 64-bit PCI support 33 MHz and 66 MHz PCI support Transaction performance capability of >70,000 I/Os per second (both... -

Fibre Channel unique exceptions. With the Fusion-MPT architecture, parallel SCSI host drivers can be used with the LSI Logic Fibre Channel controllers with little or no additional functionality for Fibre Channel. -
Page 46: Configuring The Firmware
If for some reason this automatic operation fails (e.g., other nodes on a loop not supporting Auto Negotiation), the LSI Logic host adapters may be configured to either the 2 Gbit/s or 1 Gbit/s speed, specifically. -
Page 47: Interrupt Coalescing
These values may be used to tune host adapter performance within a system environment. Note that the LSI44929 has two FC ports (the ITI7004G2-LC has four), so Interrupt Coalescing must be configured for each port. The LSI40919 has only one port. - Page 48 0x9.
