Product overview of 777456-B21 HPE 32GB 2-Port
The 777456-B21 HPE 32GB 2-Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is a product of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) designed for the Synergy 5830C server. This adapter is responsible for enabling communication between the server and its storage devices.
In this article, we will explain what a host bus adapter (HBA) is, the features of the 777456-B21 HPE 32GB 2-Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter, and how it works with the Synergy 5830C server.
A Host Bus Adapter (HBA)
A host bus adapter (HBA) is a type of hardware device that enables communication between a server and its storage devices. The HBA is responsible for converting the data from the server into a format that can be understood by the storage devices and vice versa.
The HBA connects to the server’s input/output (I/O) bus and to the storage devices using a variety of interfaces, including Fibre Channel, SCSI, SAS, and iSCSI. Fibre Channel is the most commonly used interface for high-speed storage networks.
Features of the 777456-B21 HPE 32GB 2-Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter
The 777456-B21 HPE 32GB 2-Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is a high-performance adapter designed for use with the Synergy 5830C server. It features two Fibre Channel ports, each capable of delivering up to 32GB/s of data transfer rate.
Some of the other features of this HBA include:
- PCIe 3.0 x8 interface: The 777456-B21 HPE 32GB 2-Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter uses a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface to connect to the server. This interface provides high-speed data transfer rates, making it ideal for use in high-performance computing environments.
- Fibre Channel interface: This HBA uses a Fibre Channel interface to connect to the storage devices. Fibre Channel is a high-speed, reliable, and scalable interface that can support a large number of storage devices.
- 32GB/s data transfer rate: Each of the two Fibre Channel ports on this HBA is capable of delivering up to 32GB/s of data transfer rate, providing high-speed access to the storage devices.
- Supports multiple operating systems: The 777456-B21 HPE 32GB 2-Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is compatible with a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware.
- Supports HPE Smart Storage Administrator: This HBA is compatible with HPE Smart Storage Administrator, a powerful management tool that enables users to monitor and manage their storage devices from a single interface.
HPE 32GB 2-Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Works with the Synergy 5830C Server
The Synergy 5830C server is a high-performance server designed for use in enterprise environments. It is capable of supporting a wide range of workloads, including virtualization, databases, and high-performance computing.
The 777456-B21 HPE 32GB 2-Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is designed to work seamlessly with the Synergy 5830C server. When installed in the server, the HBA connects to the server’s PCIe 3.0 x8 interface and to the storage devices using a Fibre Channel interface.
The HBA enables the server to communicate with the storage devices, allowing data to be read from or written to the storage devices. This communication is essential for the server to access the data it needs to perform its tasks
