Product Description
The Emulex FC1020042-01G, identified by the model FCA2404, is a Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to connect servers to Storage Area Networks (SANs). This particular adapter utilizes the PCI-X interface, which was prevalent in servers prior to the widespread adoption of PCI-Express. It operates at 2Gb/s Fibre Channel speeds, providing a reliable pathway for data transfer between the server and storage devices. This HBA is intended for use in servers equipped with PCI-X slots, making it a solution for maintaining or upgrading older server infrastructure that requires SAN connectivity. The 2Gb/s speed, while lower than modern standards, was sufficient for many enterprise storage needs during the era of PCI-X dominance and can still be adequate for certain applications or less demanding workloads. The Emulex FCA2404 ensures that servers can access shared storage resources within a SAN, enabling centralized data management and improved storage utilization. It represents a component for environments that continue to rely on PCI-X based systems for their storage connectivity needs, offering a functional link to Fibre Channel SANs.
