LSI Logic LSI7404XP Fibre Channel PCI-X Card Adapter

The LSI Logic LSI7404XP Fibre Channel PCI-X card adapter functions as a dedicated expansion solution, offering four separate ports to support 4GB transfer capabilities for server-based storage networking needs. This specific model ensures compatibility with legacy motherboard architectures through its PCI-X interface, making it a suitable replacement for older enterprise computing platforms dependent on this bus standard. The package includes integrated transceivers identified by the part number S8-2-200C, providing the required optical connectivity for linking switches and disk arrays directly via fiber optics. Administrators typically deploy this hardware to enable multi-path redundancy or enhanced bandwidth capacity within established Storage Area Network configurations prior to migrating to newer generations. Utilizing these verified components from LSI ensures consistent signal integrity and protocol adherence for mission-critical database operations.
