Product Overview of the PCI-E 2.0 x8 FC Host Bus Adapter
The HP 489193-001 82E 8Gbps Dual Port PCI-E 2.0 x8 FC Host Bus Adapter is a high-performance adapter designed for servers. It allows servers to connect to Fibre Channel (FC) storage devices over a high-speed network. This adapter is an essential component for businesses that require fast and reliable data transfer between servers and storage devices. In this article, we will provide an in-depth explanation of the HP 489193-001 82E Host Bus Adapter, its features, and how it can benefit your server infrastructure.
Host Bus Adapter (HBA)
A Host Bus Adapter, or HBA, is a hardware component that allows servers to connect to storage devices. It acts as an interface between the server and the storage device, facilitating the transfer of data between the two. The HBA is responsible for converting the data from the server into a format that the storage device can understand and vice versa.
Fibre Channel (FC)
Fibre Channel (FC) is a high-speed network technology that is commonly used in storage area networks (SANs). FC provides a reliable and fast connection between servers and storage devices. It is ideal for businesses that require high-speed data transfer and low latency. FC can support data transfer rates of up to 128Gbps and can transfer data over long distances.
PCI-E 2.0 x8
The HP 489193-001 82E Host Bus Adapter uses the PCI Express (PCI-E) 2.0 x8 interface. PCI-E is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard that is used to connect hardware devices to a computer’s motherboard. PCI-E 2.0 x8 provides a maximum bandwidth of 4GB/s in each direction. The x8 designation indicates that the adapter uses eight lanes for data transfer.
Features of the HP 489193-001 82E Host Bus Adapter
The HP 489193-001 82E Host Bus Adapter is designed with several features that make it an excellent choice for businesses that require high-speed data transfer between servers and storage devices. Some of these features include:
Dual Port
The HP 489193-001 82E Host Bus Adapter has two Fibre Channel ports, which allow for redundancy and increased performance. Having two ports means that if one port fails, the other port can still provide a connection to the storage device. Dual ports also provide increased bandwidth, which is beneficial for businesses that require high-speed data transfer.
8Gbps Data Transfer Rate
The HP 489193-001 82E Host Bus Adapter supports data transfer rates of up to 8Gbps. This high-speed transfer rate ensures that data is transferred quickly and efficiently between the server and the storage device. The 8Gbps transfer rate is ideal for businesses that require fast and reliable data transfer.
PCI-E 2.0 x8 Interface
The HP 489193-001 82E Host Bus Adapter uses the PCI-E 2.0 x8 interface, which provides a maximum bandwidth of 4GB/s in each direction. This high-speed interface ensures that data is transferred quickly between the server and the storage device.
Driver Support
The HP 489193-001 82E Host Bus Adapter is supported by a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware. This driver support ensures that the adapter can be easily integrated into your existing server infrastructure.
Quality of Service (QoS)
The HP 489193-001 82E Host Bus Adapter supports Quality of Service (QoS), which allows businesses to prioritize certain types of data over others. This feature is beneficial for businesses that require certain types of data to be transferred quickly and efficiently.
