Questions about this item

Will the 855M Lightpulse 8Gb HBA fit in my older server chassis with standard PCIe slots?

The card uses a standard bracket and single‑channel PCIe interface, so it installs in any compatible PCIe slot without proprietary mounting.

How can I verify the 855M Lightpulse is operating at 8Gb Fibre Channel speed after installation?

Check the adapter BIOS or OS driver utilities for a negotiated link speed of 8Gb/s and confirm the single port shows an active connection.
