SKU CH-FQ6T-SY24X

Adds a single 8 Gb Fibre Channel port to a server over PCI Express

  • 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel throughput for fast storage networking
  • Single-port PCI Express design simplifies server connectivity
  • Compact 6.6" length fits dense chassis layouts
  • Light 5.1 oz weight eases installation in tight spaces

HP 81E 8Gb Fibre Channel HBA

The HP 697889-001 81E is an 8Gb single-port PCIe Fibre Channel host bus adapter designed for servers that need direct connectivity to a storage area network. It provides a single Fibre Channel link for hosts running databases, virtualisation clusters or backup workloads that require block-level access.

Upgrading from 4Gb or adding a first port

This adapter replaces an older 4Gb HBA or adds a first Fibre Channel port to a server that previously used only Ethernet storage. The jump is worthwhile when the existing fabric runs at 8Gb and the application needs the lower latency and deterministic throughput of native Fibre Channel rather than iSCSI over Ethernet.

Highlights

  • 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel throughput for fast storage networking
  • Single-port PCI Express design simplifies server connectivity
  • Compact 6.6" length fits dense chassis layouts
  • Light 5.1 oz weight eases installation in tight spaces
