313585-001 - HP NC6170 PCI-x 2-Port Fiber Channel 1000Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter Network Interface Card (NIC)

Description

The HP 310585-001 server adapter provides robust connectivity options for servers requiring both high-speed networking and storage area network (SAN) capabilities. With two ports, it offers redundancy or the ability to connect to multiple network segments or storage devices. The adapter supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds using the 1000Base-SX standard, which utilizes multi-mode fiber optic cables for reliable data transmission over moderate distances. This adapter is built on the PCI-X bus architecture, indicating its compatibility with servers that utilize this older, but still capable, expansion slot technology. PCI-X offers higher bandwidth than standard PCI, making it suitable for demanding I/O operations common in server environments. The inclusion of Fiber Channel capabilities suggests its use in environments where high-speed, low-latency access to storage arrays is critical. Ideal for upgrading or expanding the network and storage connectivity of legacy server systems, the HP 310585-001 ensures that these machines can still participate effectively in modern IT infrastructures. It bridges the gap between older server hardware and the need for reliable, high-speed data access, supporting applications that rely on fast storage I/O and network communication.
