397740-001 - HP 2-Port 4GB/s Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter

Description

The HP 397740-001, identified as the FC2242SR, is a high-performance PCI Express (PCI-e) Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA). This adapter is engineered to provide robust and high-speed connectivity for servers and workstations to Storage Area Networks (SANs). Featuring dual ports, it offers redundancy and increased bandwidth, which are critical for enterprise-level storage solutions where uptime and performance are paramount. This HBA utilizes the Fibre Channel protocol, a standard for high-speed data transfer in SANs, enabling efficient communication between servers and storage devices like disk arrays. The PCI-e interface ensures a high-bandwidth connection to the host system, allowing the HBA to operate at its full potential. The inclusion of a high-profile bracket means it is designed for installation in standard server chassis. The dual-port design of the FC2242SR is a key feature, providing fault tolerance through path redundancy. If one connection fails, traffic can automatically reroute through the second port, minimizing downtime. This makes it an essential component for mission-critical applications that require continuous access to data. The HP 397740-001 is a reliable choice for building scalable and resilient SAN infrastructures.
