Emulex FC1020034-01B EMULEX HBA PCI Card , (-B12-1C)

Product Description

The Emulex FC1020034-01B is a Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to connect servers to Storage Area Networks (SANs). As a PCI card, it interfaces with the host system's PCI bus, providing the necessary hardware and firmware to manage Fibre Channel communication. This HBA enables high-speed data transfer between the server and storage devices within a SAN. Fibre Channel technology is known for its reliability, low latency, and high bandwidth, making it suitable for mission-critical applications that require fast and dependable access to storage. The specific speed (e.g., 1Gb, 2Gb, 4Gb, 8Gb Fibre Channel) would depend on the exact model and its capabilities, but the core function is to act as a bridge between the server's internal bus and the Fibre Channel network. The designation "(-B12-1C)" likely refers to a specific configuration or revision of the card, possibly indicating optical transceiver type, connector type, or other hardware variations. Emulex is a well-known manufacturer of HBAs, and this card would have been a key component in enterprise storage infrastructures requiring robust SAN connectivity.
