Product Description
The Lenovo 42D0491-15-CT is a single-port 8Gb/s Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) based on the LPE12000 controller. This adapter provides a dedicated high-speed connection to Storage Area Networks (SANs), utilizing the Fibre Channel protocol for reliable data transfer. The 8Gb/s speed ensures efficient performance for accessing storage resources, making it suitable for a variety of server applications. This HBA features a PCI-Express 2.0 x8 interface, offering substantial bandwidth to support the full capabilities of the 8Gb/s Fibre Channel port. The inclusion of an SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) port allows for flexible connection options, as the user can select the appropriate optical transceiver based on distance and network requirements. The low-profile (LP) form factor is specifically designed for installation in compact server chassis, such as blade servers or 1U rackmount systems, where space is limited. Designed for enterprise environments, the Lenovo 42D0491-15-CT provides a reliable and efficient solution for servers that require direct connectivity to SAN storage. It is well-suited for applications that benefit from fast storage access, including virtualization, database management, and file serving. This adapter ensures that servers can communicate effectively with storage arrays, contributing to overall system performance and data availability.
