Product Description
The HPE 697889-001LP, identified as the 81E adapter, is a single-port 8Gb/s Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA). It is designed to connect servers to Storage Area Networks (SANs), providing high-speed and reliable access to shared storage resources. The 8Gb/s speed offers significantly improved performance over older 2Gb/s or 4Gb/s HBAs, enabling faster data transfers for demanding applications. This adapter utilizes the PCI Express (PCIe) interface, which provides a high-bandwidth, low-latency connection to the server's motherboard. The low-profile form factor is particularly advantageous for dense server deployments, such as 1U or 2U rackmount servers, where internal space is limited. This allows for the installation of powerful connectivity options without compromising other components. The single-port design is suitable for servers that require a primary connection to the SAN or for configurations where multiple HBAs are used to achieve redundancy. The 81E designation often refers to a specific chipset or series from Broadcom (formerly Emulex), known for its reliability and performance in enterprise storage networking.
