Architecture

• AD299A contains 1 Fibre Channel port
• Low profile card with tall bracket (bulkhead)
• PCI-Express X4 (10Gb/s per direction)
• PCIe x4 Gen 1 slot
• PCIe x8 Gen 1 slot
• PCIe x4 Gen 2 slot
• PCIe x8 Gen 2 slot
• Two fully-independent 1/2/4Gbps FC links delivering up to 800MB/s total bandwidth per channel
• Embedded 1.5MByte of local memory(embedded) for firmware execution, FC context, and buffer memory
• Each port has 2MByte memory space in the serial flash that contains:
• Configuration parameter
• VPD info
• Port WWN, Node WWN
• PCI IDs including: VID, DID, SVID, SSID, REVID, etc.
• Firmware (SLI-3, SLI-2, SLI-1)
• EFI driver (supports both CLI and interactive mode)
• High data integrity
• Overlapping end-to-end data protection within the chip
• Complete data and code parity protection in memory interface
• Parity protection and ECC protection
• Each 4Gb/s Fibre Channel port supports:
• Embedded SERDES in Zephyr ASIC
• Two concurrently operating 4/2/1 Gb/s link speed
• Full Duplex FC Port
• Auto-negotiation for FC link speeds (1, 2, or 4 Gb/s)
• Uses shortwave 850nm fixed optical transceiver SFF module with LC connector
