AGILENT HHBA

Agilent HHBA-5218, HHBA-5219
Low Profile, 2 Gb/s Fibre Channel Adapters
for High Performance Applications
Product Overview
Features
• Low profile, MD2 short card
• 64-bit, 66 MHz universal PCI
interface (2.2 compliant)
• Fibre channel data transfer rates:
– Up to 200 MB/s (half duplex)
– Up to 400 MB/s (full duplex)
Product Description
Agilent’s HHBA-5218 and
HHBA-5219 are low profile,
2 Gb/s, 64-bit, 66 MHz PCI to
Fibre Channel Adapters for
enterprise Storage Area Network
(SAN) applications. The low
profile Fibre Channel Adapters
provide auto-speed negotiation
for seamless integration in one
and two Gigabit environments.
The low profile adapters are
specifically designed for use in
1U and 2U servers. The versatility of the new Fibre Channel
Adapters is based on Agilent’s
market-leading Tachyon Fibre
Channel (FC) controllers, offering unmatched performance and
flexibility.
Broad Product Offering
Agilent’s low profile 2 Gb/s
adapters support both fiber-optic
and copper cable connections.
For high-end applications where
performance and reliability are
critical, the HHBA-5219 comes
with a Small Form Factor (SFF)
embedded LC optical transceiver
for use with mutimode optical
cable. For applications requiring
either an optical or copper
interface, the HHBA-5218
includes a cage (receptacle) for a
Small Form Factor Pluggable
(SFP) LC optical or an HSSDC-2
copper transceiver.
Scalable Performance Matches
Demanding SAN Requirements
The 2 Gb/s Fibre Channel Adapters
are powered by Agilent Tachyon
controllers, based on a Finite State
Machine (FSM) architecture. The
FSM allows performance to scale
seamlessly with increased server
CPU power. By contrast, processorbased adapters are limited by the
maximum performance of the
processor itself.
Software Support
Agilent offers a Tachyon
Software Developer’s Kit (TSDK)
for Windows NT® 4.0, Linux
environments and VXWorks.
