Key specifications
 Interface: Dual-port Fibre Channel
 Maximum link speed per port: 8 Gbps
 Form factor: Full-height / half-height PCIe server adapter (compatible with standard server slots)
 Supported features: Hardware offload for storage I/O, persistent connections, common Fibre Channel protocol support
 Typical use environment: Enterprise server and SAN installations
How to use
Install the HBA into an available PCIe slot in a compatible server following the server manufacturer's maintenance procedures, ensuring the server is powered down or hot-swap procedures are followed per hardware guidance. Connect each Fibre Channel port to the SAN fabric using appropriate optical transceivers and fibre cabling or direct-attach patch panels. Install or update the vendor-provided drivers and firmware for your server operating system, then configure zoning and LUN masking on the SAN switches and storage arrays as required. Verify link negotiation and multipath configuration where applicable to ensure redundancy and optimal performance.
Usage recommendations
Use quality, supported optical transceivers and fibre patching rated for 8 Gbps operation and follow manufacturer firmware and driver update schedules. Configure multipath I/O and SAN zoning to maintain redundancy, and monitor port error counters and link status during initial deployment and regular operations to detect potential cable, transceiver, or fabric issues.
