LSI7202CP Host Adapter Characteristics

require a more robust mechanical form factor than desktop PCI.
CompactPCI is electrically compatible with the PCI Specification,
allowing low cost PCI components to be utilized in a mechanical form
factor suited for more rugged environments. The LSI7202CP fully
supports Hot Swap as defined in the CompactPCI Hot Swap
Specification, Revision 1.0.

2.2.1.2 PCI Interface

The PCI functionality for the LSI7202CP is contained within the
LSIFC929 Dual Channel Fibre Channel I/O Controller. This controller
connects directly to the PCI bus and generates timing and protocol in
compliance with PCI specifications. This interface provides a high-speed,
standard local bus to the processor and memory subsystems in your
computer.

2.2.1.3 Fibre Channel Interface

The Fibre Channel interface for the LSI7202CP is also contained within
the LSIFC929 Dual Channel Fibre Channel I/O Controller. The LSIFC929
controller provides a direct interface to Fibre Channel. This controller
generates timing and protocol in compliance with the Fibre Channel
standard.
