PCIe LP 8 Gb 2-Port Fibre Channel Adapter (FC 5273 and FC EL2N;
CCIN 577D)
Learn about the specifications and operating system requirements for the feature codes (FCs) 5273 and
EL2N adapters.
Overview
The PCIe LP 8 Gb 2-Port Fibre Channel Adapter is a high-performance adapter based on the Emulex
LPe12002 PCIe Host Bus Adapter (HBA). The FCs 5273 is a full-height adapter. Each port provides single
initiator capability over a fiber link. The ports have LC type connectors that use shortwave laser optics.
The adapter connects to Fibre Channel switches and direct attached storage devices, operating at link
speeds of 2, 4, and 8 Gbps. The adapter automatically negotiates with the switch to the highest speed that
the switch is capable of. LEDs on each port provide information about the status and link speed of the
port.
N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) capability is supported through Virtual I/O Server (VIOS).
