Installation Requirements for the Adapter
The HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 4-Port 16GB FC Adapter has specific installation requirements that customers should be aware of to ensure proper operation and performance.
Firstly, the adapter requires an available PCI Express (PCIe) slot on the host system for installation. The PCIe slot must meet the adapter’s specifications for speed and width to provide optimal performance. Customers should consult the product documentation or HPE support resources for guidance on selecting an appropriate PCIe slot for the adapter.
Secondly, the adapter requires compatible drivers and firmware to be installed on the host system. HPE provides drivers and firmware for the adapter on its support website, which customers can download and install on their systems. It is important to ensure that the drivers and firmware are compatible with the specific operating system and hardware platform being used.
Thirdly, the adapter requires appropriate cabling and connectivity to connect to the storage system. The adapter supports standard Fibre Channel cabling and connectors, and customers should use cables and connectors that meet the adapter’s specifications for length, speed, and type.
Finally, customers should follow proper grounding and electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when installing the adapter. This includes grounding the host system and adapter, and using appropriate ESD protection when handling the adapter and cabling.
Customers should consult the product documentation and HPE support resources for detailed installation requirements and guidance on installing the HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 4-Port 16GB FC Adapter. HPE provides tools and resources to help customers ensure a successful and trouble-free installation.

RAID Support for the Adapter
The HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 4-Port 16GB FC Adapter is designed to provide RAID support for storage systems. RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a method of storing data across multiple disks to provide redundancy and increase performance.
The adapter supports hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60. This enables customers to configure their storage systems with the appropriate RAID level to meet their specific requirements for performance and data protection.
In addition to hardware RAID, the HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 Storage family also supports HPE 3PAR Adaptive RAID, which provides automated sub-LUN tiering to optimize performance and efficiency. Adaptive RAID combines the benefits of RAID with autonomic storage tiering to deliver high performance and capacity utilization.
Customers should consult the product documentation and HPE support resources for guidance on configuring and managing RAID with the HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 4-Port 16GB FC Adapter. HPE provides tools and resources to help customers configure and manage their storage systems for optimal performance and data protection.
